 Mac and PC Switching December 9, 2009

I purchased the IOGear 2 Port USB Cable KVM Switch with Audio and Mic GCS72U in order to use a Pc and a Macintosh Mini with one keyboard, monitor and mouse. The set up was easy. My only glitch was having to buy an inexpensive USB keyboard. There is no PS/2 port on this model. The model also worked with a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, but I wanted to use that set with my main work computer. Once set up I can switch easily between the Mac and the Pc with the press of a button. IOGear 2-Port MiniView Micro USB PLUS KVM Switch with Audio and 4 Cables GCS632U

I originally used the product to interface with one Windows 7 and one Ubuntu system using legacy usb Keyboard & Mouse. All functions worked perfectly (Keyboard, Mouse, Video & Audio). I have now replaced the usb Keyboard & Mouse with a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000. I have not set up all the special key yet. But, the functions that are important to me are doing great. I would recommend both IO Gear and Amazon to my friends.

I bought this in hopes that it would solve one particular problem:
I have a USB microphone and a set of desktop speakers that connect via a headphone plug. I wanted to be able to share these between a desktop and a laptop (that connects via a dock).
With this device, I can switch between them with the press of a button. It instantly toggles and neither computer gets confused at all.
Note that I am not using the video switching at all. I am simply using it as an audio/usb switch...and it does a fantastic job for me.
I am also very pleased with the wired "remote" as it is small (about the size of a quarter) and the wire is very long (allowing me to hide the switch under the edge of the desk).
The Perfect 2 Port USB KVM Switch June 23, 2010

I'm always skeptical buying items I will be using on a daily basis without a hands on trial but I must admit this product is awesome. I understand why it had so many positive reviews because it really was easy to setup and it works flawlessly. I wanted a 2 port KMV switch that would support my USB Keyboard and my USB Logitech cordless trackball mouse. Not only that but I wanted to make sure it would work with 2 laptops on different OS's (XP + Win7) and one being in a docking station while the other stand alone. This product worked for my setup perfectly on the first try. Highly Recommended.
Great Product December 1, 2009

This is a great product. I made a mistake of trying to buy a cheap product from a noname company, but I had a lot of issues with that product. After returning it, I did a little research and found that Amazon sold a great two port USB KVM. This product does what the other wasn't able to. My Logitech G11 keyboard and MX518 mouse both work perfectly and are picked up instantly upon switching machines (including being able to use the macro buttons on my G11). The headphone audio also works great. I haven't tried using the microphone channel yet, but I'm guessing it would work just fine too. The switch included on the machine has such a long cord on it that I put the KVM at the back of my desk, as you only need to touch the small switch to change which machine the KVM is currently controlling, saving me a bunch of space. The best thing is that this product is able to swap between my PC installed with Microsoft Vista to my Mac mini with no real issue. I've only ran across two little "problems" (I wouldn't even call them problems because I've learned to live with the little quirks)
a) If the KVM isn't set to the PC machine before I boot it up, the screen resolution is stuck at a max of 1680x1050 resolution when I normally use 1920x1080. For some reason with current ATI drivers I'm unable to select my normal resolution without a restart. If the KVM is set to the PC's channel then the machine boots up into the correct resolution with no problem.
b) When my G11 keyboard is set to the brightest backlit keyboard setting there is a slight static on the headphone audio channel. Turning the backlight off removes the noise.
I'm going to recommend this product to anyone who asks me about setting up their home office, or who needs to command two computers from a single terminal (as I'm often the go to guy when tech problems come up). I'm also going to be sticking with IOGear KVMs for quite a while. Quality is top notch. Only thing I could think to improve on the product would be to fix the two small problems I found, and then maybe making the cords provided with the KVM a little bit longer, as if your machines are pretty far apart, the cords might not reach them. For me though, the cords were plenty long. In closing, have no fear when buying this product if you own Logitech gear, as I've had perfect compatibility across multiple operating systems.
