I finally decided to clean up my desk and part of that included organizing my desk. What better thing then to get rid of a second keyboard and mouse. I ran out to Best Buy, FutureShop and Bureau en Gros and none had any KVM switches?! I ended up at Acces Electronique and purchased a IOGEAR 2-Port USB KVM Switch (for those interested Model: GCS42UW6).

 

Pros:

• Plug and Play – Nothing to install, nothing to configure
• No power adapter
• Easy to setup – Connect you Keyboard and mouse and connect it to your computers, that’s it!

 

Cons:

None.

 

Conclusion:

This product works as advertised! Well worth the price (which wasn’t much in the first place) in my experience.

UPDATE (2011-11-28)

Sadly I have been experiencing issue with my LED monitor.  I at first thought it was the monitor, but after further testing I determined the KVM switch is at fault.  So the KVM switch didn’t even last 1 year (actually it didn’t even last 6 months) before I could no longer use the switcheable monitor component of the KVM switch!  I don’t know if I got a dudd or if this is typical, but I will be thinking twice about future purchases with IOGEAR products.
