IOGEAR 2port Compact KVM PS2 PC w/Cables
Why it's best:
The IOGEAR GCS62 is a solid and straightforward KVM switch that comes equipped for two computers through VGA and PS/2 connectors. A mappable keyboard macro (default being Scroll Lock) is used to switch between computers and interfaces. The connection between the two ports is very solid with no perceptible delay between the switched inputs or between the computer displays. Its VGA ports are rated to 1920 x 1440 resolution maximum, well above that of most monitors today. Its 6' cords allow for two computers 12' apart to be connected. Respectably priced, the GCS62 offers solid bang for the buck and functionality that does what it's supposed to without any issue.

But every time I researched KVM switches, I got dismayed by pricing, apparent problems, set up complexity including having to go out and get your own cables (for more mon...read full review

I just got a new computer for Christmas and needed a KVM switch to use my keyboard, monitor and mouse on both my old and new computers. I was looking at other KVM switches, but saw this one at Fry's and bought it for $.... It is a great product. Worked fine first time, every time. No s/w to inst...read full review
