IOGEAR KVM 2-Port USB VGA Cabled Switch - 2048 x 1536 - Remote Button Switch - Plug n Play - PC, MAC, SUN - GCS22U

The IOGEAR GCS22U is a 2-port USB/VGA KVM switch that lets users control two computers with one USB keyboard, mouse, and VGA monitor, making it suitable for desks where a single set of peripherals needs to serve two compatible systems.

Recommended For

• People sharing one VGA monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse between two VGA-equipped computers at a fixed desk; the wired remote makes switching a physical-button task.
• Small offices or labs keeping two older VGA workstations in use, where a simple plug-in switch for a standard wired keyboard and mouse is more useful than extra display or peripheral features.
• Work-from-home users switching between a VGA-equipped work computer and a VGA-equipped personal computer who want to share one monitor, keyboard, and mouse with a button press.
• Users with a compatible legacy setup who prefer a driver-free switch with attached computer cables and no separate power adapter.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• At a desk with a work computer and a personal computer that both have VGA video and USB ports, switch one monitor, keyboard, and mouse between them with the remote button instead of keeping a second set of peripherals on the desk.
• When working with separate Internet-connected and intranet computers, use the switch to move the shared screen and controls to the computer you need; it switches peripherals, but does not itself provide network isolation.
• In a small office or home workspace with two compatible VGA computers, share one monitor and input set to reduce duplicate desk equipment and cable clutter.
• For a bench with older VGA-equipped PCs, move the shared monitor, keyboard, and mouse between the systems while setting them up or checking them, without swapping those peripherals by hand.
