Overview
IOGEAR sells this switch to let one VGA monitor, a USB keyboard and a mouse control two computers. A wired remote button on a cable lets you switch from the desk rather than reaching for the box.
Choose it for a simple two-computer desk with VGA video and USB peripherals. The limit is the age of the video standard, and the listing does not describe audio or hotkey switching.
Who it's for
A workshop or lab bench with two PCs, or a PC and a Mac, sharing a single screen works well. A desk with more than two machines, or one needing audio sharing, should look at a larger switch.
Pros and cons
- Wired remote switching button
- Works with PC, Mac and Sun
- High maximum resolution for VGA
- Plug and play setup
- Only two ports
- VGA video only
- Audio sharing not listed
- Hotkey switching not listed
Performance notes
The switch routes one set of peripherals and one monitor to whichever computer is selected, so the other computer carries on running unseen. The video limit comes from the VGA signal path. Cable quality and length affect picture sharpness at the top resolution.
