 Product Description: IOGEAR GCS62 MiniVIew Micro 2-Port KVM Switch - Many people have 2 computers. Just because you upgrade to the latest & greatest, doesn't mean you throw away your old PC. It's still good for storage space, running more basic applications, or anything else you can dream up. But what many people don't have is room for a 2nd monitor, keyboard, & mouse. That's where the MiniView Micro 2-Port KVM Switch comes in! This extremely small device has two separate sets of monitor, PS/2 keyboard & mouse cables that connect to each PC. Your single monitor, PS/2 keyboard & mouse connect to the little device - and with the touch of a button you can switch your display & control between the two machines! Built-in AutoScan mode LEDs allow for easy status monitoring 3 Year Limited Warranty Amazon.com Product Description: Introducing the two-port MiniView Micro KVM switch from Iogear--a simple solution for those with more PCs than hands.

Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-04-14 Worked perfectly where more expensive KVMs didn't I recently got a new machine with a PCI-E slot and NVIDIA card. My old KVM wasn't able to recognize it.
I tried four switches before keeping this one. One was less expensive, one about the same, and the other two were about $20.00 more. All of them had trouble with my mouse, an older MS Optical mouse that uses a USB to PS/2 adapter. I'd never run into that problem before, but judging from reviews of various switches, it seems to be common.
This switch, aside from taking up less room, works perfectly for me.
They keyboard combo to switch between machines has, so far, worked without a hitch. (I do like to have a button on the switch itself, in case, for some reason, it loses keyboard connectivity, which has happened to me with other switches. The lack of such a button is the only reason I'm giving this 4 stars rather than 5.)
It works perfectly with two FreeBSD machines, whether I'm running the O/S or trying out various live CDs.
On a crowded desk, the small size is a definite plus. I'm glad I tried this before giving up and buying a really high end switch.

I would definitely recommend this product. - Rusty Bones Rating:  Date: 2008-03-18 poor video quality, low quality product I ordered this product from Tigerdirect. The quality of the video was poor. I contacted Tigerdirect, but their returns policy was so much effort that I just threw the switch in the trash rather than deal with the aggravation of returning it to Tigerdirect. Rating:  Date: 2008-02-24 IOGEAR GCS62 MiniView Micro KVM Switch I recommend the IOGEAR GCS62 MiniView Micro KVM Switch. I bought it to switch between two Pentium Core 2 Duo systems, and I haven't had any problems. The setup is straight forward and I love it.
