This switch features a VGA port and 2 USB ports that let you share the use of a monitor and 2 USB peripherals, such as a mouse and a keyboard, between 2 different computers. The plug-and-play design allows easy setup.
We have been talking about combining two computers to one desk sharing a monitor for a few years. We were very intimidated by the technology behind doing that. Once we purchased the iogear kvm switch we waited a few days before trying to tackle the task of merging these two machines to one monitor however; once we opened the box and looked at the directions we were amazed at how easy it seemed. Easy it was, the directions were easy to follow and the results are fantastic. I feel like a real DIY now!! The switch is easy to operate and the cost very affordable. We love it!!!
