Just installed the Iogear GCS634U 4-Port USB KVM switch today 2/19/09 and can honestly say it was a breeze to install and it works like a dream. The provided instruction manual is very easy to understand and comprehend during installation. from Compusa.com At first I was hesitant in purchasing this because it didn't have a physical switch along with hot keys, however, after getting the KVM I wonder why I ever cared about a switch. I'm using this between my PC and my Mac mini and it works perfectly. A really good feature is that I can decided to switch only the KVM and not the audio so I can continue listening to Coltrane when I check to see if iMovie finished importing those files yet! from Compusa.com Pros: Switching speed was generally good and it would skip ports not connected to a computer. In the seven months I've owned it, it never locked up on me. It sits perfectly under an Apple Mac mini and it worked well in a mixed Windows XP/Mac OS X environment. from Newegg.com Good video resolution and excellent video on higher end monitors and video cards. Nice feature switching audio. The audio can be switched independently of the KVM, so it can play on one system and use KVM on another. I use it to switch a Dell w/Vista, Dell XP, Dell Server Win 2K3, and Gateway with XP. from Newegg.com connected all four computers and works as expected. one can switch with sound or without sound... neat feature.beats using ssh or moving cables.great price. Cons: thought the unit was bad, but it turned out to be a dirty USB connection on my computer. from Newegg.com Pros: Great product, easy setup, cables are a good length and provide a lot of flexibility for laying out your systems. Simple use - turn off your equipment, connect the KVM cables, reboot, and you are good to go. Two cables are hard-wired into the device and two are detachable and can be stored elsewhere if you don't need them. from Newegg.com Pros: Nice Looks- Thats about it Cons: Have used several(maybe 5) kvm's in the past, this is the only one that won't allow me to use the extra keys on the keyboard. Very basic Microsoft comfort curve 2000. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to set up. Supports all the keys on my new Apple “slim” aluminum base keyboard (as advertised). from Newegg.com I have a Mac Mini and an IBM laptop connected and both found the KVM and worked with it the first try. Well Satisfied. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Highly recommend both the IOGEAR KVM and Newegg.com. from Newegg.com Pros: The KVM is connected to a 2003 server, AOpen MiniPC, and another computer with a Gigabyte 965P motherboard. The mouse is a standard Microsoft USB mouse and Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard. Until an electrical storm took it out, it worked perfectly for over a year. from Newegg.com
