Strengths: Easy to install. Works with Logitech wireless devices. Easy to switch to Ctrl-key hot key.
Weakness: Price.
After reading all the negative reviews about using IOGear KVMs with Logitech wireless devices, and the problems with IOGear's "tech" support, I was very hesitant to even waste my time with this one, even though the large chain store manager assured me that I could return it if it didn't work right with my Logitech wireless mouse & keyboard. I have to compliment IOGear. The box is too small to...
Strengths: Easy to setup. Keyboard switching. Great for new laptop with only USB ports.
Weakness: none
I use this to control 2 desktops. The switching is using hot keys from the keyboard. The video is sharp but you will definitey notice a difference if one of the PC has a older video card. It does not work with PS2 keyboard using a PS2 to USB keyboard adapter, but I didn't really expected it to work either.
Strengths: Cables included. USB support
Weakness: No external power.
Had problems powering my saitek gamers keyboard and MX518 mouse. I was really hoping that it would of worked with those items but ended up having to return it to the store. Other people I know have had much sucess with this KVM though.
Strengths: Simple and cool! Very inexpensive. Rugged. Even includes 6 foot cables. Also shares audio.
I set this up in just a couple of minutes so I could run my PC desktop and Mac that I travel with. I like being able to connect audio as well.
Strengths: * No problems connecting powermac running os x and dell laptop running windows xp * setup was easy and straightforward * switching between two computers is easy and seamless
Weakness: * keyboard and mouse must be connected to switch - cannot connect mouse to usb hub on keyboard * sound is limited to 2 speaker system (no 2.1)
This is a great product overall. Though I would have liked to be able to connect my mouse via the usb hub on my keyboard, the usb ports on the keyboard ARE still usable so it's not a total waste. I've been using it to connect my Mac (desktop) and Dell laptop (via docking station) and have had no problems with it. I am running Mac OS 10.3.6 and Windows XP.
Strengths: Small, simple
Weakness: Does not work with Apple VGA monitors.
Iogear supports writes "There is a non-standard sync signal the Apple Studio Display requires." This is horses**t since the display works fine with every computer with a VGA connection.
Strengths: easy to set up, inexpensive
Weakness: vedio is as good as advertised
I bought this product at $40 after $10 MIR. For the price, the product is great: easy to set up, no software installation is needed, plug-and-play. I connected to my computers, and both works great. The only complain I have is that the vedio quality is a little worse than the direct connection. My screen resulution is 1280x1024. Overall, it is a great product
Strengths: Ease of use. Price reasonable.
Weakness: Not for high end gaming keyboard.
G11 logitech (one of the better gaming keyboards) looses power. Confirm connections, just seems to drop keyboard function. Perhaps keyboard needs more power than can be supplied through KVM.
Strengths: built in cables, USB support.
Weakness: there is a slight shimmer when running this on my laptop at some resolutions and freq's. I have not tested the sound, but heard that it is horrific.
This works perfectly on my setup, even with a logictech LX-710 wireless keyboard / mouse combo. The trick I found is that the mouse's scroll wheel has a right/left motion, in addition to the up/down scroll motion. This right/left motion emulated scroll-lock...so... two slow right-motion clicks with the wheel, it flips screen. I don't have to mess around with the CTRL key, which would mess me up....

Gets the job done
Strengths: No extra cables to buy, no external power needed, no directions needed.
Weakness: Occasionally I have to re-sync my display settings on my Mac so that it reads all of the resolutions of my monitor.
This has been a great switch that I have been using for around 3 years now. I also have the PS2 version which also works great. I use it with an Intel Mac Mini and a Dell and have little to know issues. I used to have a G3 iMac and had some issues of having to unplug all of it it to get the switch to respond to switching. That was fixed when I got the Mini. All and All I have had little to know...
