IOGEAR GCS1102 Reviews
I wouldn't switch to another switch
Rather than clutter up my work area with an array of monitors for my two workstations this KVMP switch allows me to jump from one to another as needed. I might be editing video on one while a CGI animation is rendering on the other. It's a great way to work.My wireless Logitech keyboard/mouse USB receiver stick just plugs into one of the two backside peripheral ports (not the front ports that are for wired keyboards and mice)and your off to the races. This is something that is not really explained anywhere in the sparse documentation that accompanies the item.A nice feature is to be able to momentarily take a peak at the screen activity of computer B without really taking over true control and then go back to your main business on computer A - all by how long one holds down the switching switch on the unit.Well built, perhaps overly well built, in a handsome metal case. Nice item.
Best KVM Switch!
I have 3 computers. All are running 24/7. My main rig (email/word processing etc)has it's own dedicated monitor but my other 2 which are the faster machines are my photographic server and processing rigs. As I only need to see my photo server display occasionally, I decided to use a KVM switch. I had a Belkin (VGA) switch which I tried. That really was a piece of junk. So I bought this one (from B&H) and it was a breeze to install and so far has performed flawlessly. I have had no problems with Windows 7 updates as reported by another reviewer. Yes it is a little expensive but, guess what, you get what you pay for (most of the time!)
