The 2-Port USB KVM Switch from IOGEAR allows you to share a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor between two computers. It features a push-button interface with a wired remote for quick and easy switching. The KVM Switch works with computers that use USB connections for the keyboard and mouse and a VGA connection for the display. It installs easily, with clearly labeled ports to connect cables. The switch supports VGA resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536 pixels, allowing you to use the switch with large monitors. This is a great solution for anyone who wants to share a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse between two computers.

Works just as expected based on the reviews I read. While some people might like the use of pressing a key sequence on the keyboard to change from one device to the other, I like just pressing a button. Yes, it is one extra cord but it is quite simple and it passes the wife test. No complains and it works with my wireless Logitech keyboard mouse combo. The wireless adapter only has one USB, but it still works correctly. All in all a great product for a great price.

KVM Switch
A needed item for switching between workstation monitors. It is a little slow, too much black screen time between displays. I believe there are also KVM switches that use an existing key stroke instead...Read complete review
A needed item for switching between workstation monitors. It is a little slow, too much black screen time between displays. I believe there are also KVM switches that use an existing key stroke instead of the attached button / switch found with this devise. Seems like high quality design and execution - just lacking in speed.

I took a chance buying this switch. I use it to switch the keyboard and video but I have a separate ps2 mouse on each machine. It works fine this way - and takes only a single USB slot to use it this way.

Easy to set-up. Easy to use. I have multiple machines and 1 keyboard. I like to quickly switch between them. This also has the ability to swap between two monitors which is also great.

Comments about Iogear 2-Port USB KVM Switch:
After a while it is working without a hitch.
Initially, I couldn't connect it to my notebook computer because the vga connector is on one side of the notebook, the usb connectors are on the other side, and the cables won't reach across. IOGEAR Support was absolutely useless. They offered to sell me more cables. My solution is to cut the cables apart so they reach.
When I first installed the switch I had trouble with the display of my notebook. After switching, it would display the wallpaper but not the desktop or applications. I switched cables between the computers and have had no trouble since.

Comments about Iogear 2-Port USB KVM Switch:
Built-in cables make the unit far less bulky. I really like that the actual button you press to switch between your computers/servers is small, discreet, and on a long cable. This allows you to hide all the ugly cables out of sight.
Another bonus for my particular use is that you can use either the VGA, USB, or both, you don't need all the cables plugged in.

This is a great KVM option for people who want to use a USB KVM switch without loading software. This is a simple pass-though device that works very reliably. It is also very easy to set-up.

Comments about Iogear 2-Port USB KVM Switch:
Works great with my Macbook pro and PC connected to the same monitor, I wish the usb slots were a little more spaced apart, and sometimes when I switch back to my mac the usb keyboard and mouse don't register, but that's only sometimes.

It's simple, but it does what is expected from it. External switch button is very convenient. No problems so far.

Comments about Iogear 2-Port USB KVM Switch:
I was looking for a KVM that picked up my keyboard with CAC (Smart Card) built in and not have to use an external CAC reader. This worked great. I am totally impressed. I would (and have) recommend(ed) this product to anybody. I am a satisfied customer, both from the product and definitely B&H's [...]. Thanx.

Pros: Easy plug and play functionality. Push button switch makes for quick switching between computers.
Cons: USB cords a little short. When switching between computers, my Logitech mouse and keyboard aren't always immediately available (but usually come back to working within about 30 seconds)
