5 of 5 Great, low-priced product. Friday, April 18, 2008
Don from Pittsburgh
I bought one of these for my wife, and it just works, simple as that. No problems, as long as you avoid double hitting the Scroll-Lock key by accident. I bought another for myself, as I sometimes work on old PCs to donate, so I need an inexpensive product that works well, and this is it. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Easy to install and work perfectly! Monday, December 31, 2007
A Customer from Queen Creek, AZ
The switch works great! Very easy installation and works just as described. Exactly what I needed. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 great price for a great product Monday, March 12, 2007

1 of 5 Will not work with USB adaptors Saturday, October 15, 2005
Neil from Houston, TX
This product will not work with USB to PS/2 adaptors. Video image not very sharp. Returned. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Functional, convinient and inexpensive Thursday, May 12, 2005
Alex from Providence, RI
This is the second one of those that I buy. I have practically no
qualms about this KVM device. It works well, cables are built in, it is fairly cheap.
It has an auto-scan mode into which it can go without warning.
Don't throw away the manual, or remember that this can only be
stopped by pressing space (rest of the keyboard is locked up). Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Simple, yet effective Wednesday, April 20, 2005
TMcKean from Great Mills, MD
I've been using this in a presentation system to quickly attach a laptop without disconnecting the main system. Simply hook up the second system and double tap the Scroll Lock key to swap back and forth. It has a capability to cycle back and forth, but I haven't played with that, yet. Well worth the money. Just bought a second one for my home system to use when bringing my laptop from work or working on a friend's PC. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Sweet Mother of Goodness.... Thursday, March 17, 2005
EASTCOASTMFER from H-Bomb, Pennsyltucky
there was a desk under all of that hardware... This thing is great if you aren't a serious technophile. I do quite a bit with my desktops and couldn't be happier. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks IOGEAR. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice KVM Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Anh Tu Nguyen from Raleigh, NC
It works great, but the max res is a problem for my 21" monitor. But for most people, it shouldn't be an issue. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Great PnP KVM - if you don't need additional mouse Wednesday, January 05, 2005
m0pher from New York, NY
This unit succeeded where D-Link's DKVM-2K failed. With the latter, my machines would freeze during bootup, but the IOGear worked like a charm. Just don't expect this KVM to support the additional buttons on a multimedia mouse such as the Logitech MX 510; it will be treated like a standard 3-button scroll mouse. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Super Satisfied Monday, December 20, 2004
College Professor from Jackson, TN
I have been using this KVM to switch between my WindowsXP and Linux machines. So far, it has worked perfectly. I love the way it switches between machines by double-tapping the Scroll Lock key. I have just ordered a second one for use at home. I highly recommend this cool little gadget. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Excellent Product Friday, October 01, 2004
A Customer from Saint Louis, MO
As an IT guy I bring computers to my desk all the time. This has saved me so much time. I can just hookup to my monitor/mouse/keyboard and start debuging. You just press Scroll Lock twice to switch between computers.
The product is simple and small. I have a usb mouse with the ps/2 adaptor and everything is fine. I run my screen res at 1600x1200 @75Mhz with no problems.
I'm here to buy one for home now. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 works as promised Tuesday, August 24, 2004

works great, but would like to have USB connection for mouse or newer keyboards Was this review helpful?
2 of 5 No mice with USB converters Tuesday, June 29, 2004
A Customer from Crofton, MD
It seems to work well and is easy to connect but it does not work with mice that have a USB to PS2 converter on them. Most PS2 mice sold today have this converter on them. I verified this on their website. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 This one works! Thursday, June 24, 2004
A Customer from California
I originally planned on buying the Linksys but after reading the reviews about not working with wheel mice I saw this product mentioned. I checked it out and even called the company to make sure that it would work with my Optical Intellimouse with 4 buttons and wheel. They said yes. I ordered.
Set up could not have been easier. It works with my mouse and none of the problems some people have described with ghosting on the monitor. I highly recommend this product. Plus they give you a 3 year warranty. The price on Buy.com was the best too.
If you need a KVM switch for 2 computers this is the one. One caveat, you need a plug for the usb mouse to make it into a regular round mouse plug. I happened to have one already so it was no problem. Was this review helpful?

3 of 5 if your use wireless kb/mouse, DO NOT BUY Monday, May 31, 2004
badIOGREAR from NY
ok, it does work with wired keyboard and mouse without any problem! however, after i switched to Microsoft wireless desktop pro...i have to hit the scroll hundred times to make it switch between my PCs... and the microsoft MOUSE WITH TILT WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS THING... and their tech support will NOT help you... they will tell u, they can't do anything. why? they have no $$ to afford the license from M$ Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Best-Breed Technology Tuesday, November 18, 2003
A Customer from San Diego, CA
The GCS62 is wonderful. I like the self-powered format. One less cable! The KVM cables are long enough and the device has worked flawlessly for about 6 months now. I'm only replacing soon because I have a new, third system. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Superb Unit!! Monday, November 17, 2003
Paul from Fair Oaks, CA
Congratulations,
Finally a well-made unit that works with wheel mice and other special mice. It switches very quickly and provides excellent video with my 19". Although only 2-ports, it is the best switch that I have ever had the chance to use. This unit is #1.
I also have the LinkSys PS2KVM4 4-port switch. What a pile!! Please read that review; I hope that it saves someone a headache. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Worth all the money I paid for it ... Wednesday, October 01, 2003
Norman from Lockport, NY
I occasionally work on (repair) other compters and it was a hassle having to disconnect my main computer only to find that I needed to go online for driver support and the like. Now my main computer stays connected, my work takes less time, and I have fewer headaches. Setup could not be simpler and performance is beyond my expectations. Get it from Buy.com with free shipping. Also there is no sales tax in most states. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great Product Wednesday, August 06, 2003
Phil from Owasso, OK
When working with 2 pcs this is must have "TOOL", I bought it hoping it might be some help. Turned out to be one of the best items I have bought in couple of years. Very simple to hookup, and keeps my workbench that much cleaner by saving the space of extra monitor. I am using wireless mouse & keyboard with ZERO problems. Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 Doesn't work with Thinkpads or Toshiba laptops Tuesday, July 15, 2003
A Customer from oakland, ca
It doesn't work with IBM Thinkpads (even using the docking port, which should have plenty of juice at the PS2 port). Also doesn't work with Toshiba Tecra. It says this in the last fine print in the manual. Why the *F* didn't they say this in the item description when I bought it?!
Assuming you have a computer this is compatible with, the KVM seems well built and operation is simple and smooth. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Slight screen glitches at freq. greater than 60hz Thursday, May 29, 2003
jason from Houston, Texas, USA
I think the glitches also killed my old monitor. Sometimes the screen was completely gone. I am not sure it was my monitor or KVM. After I bought new LCD, it works better. Was this review helpful? |
