User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work to combining a chromebook and a windows 7 pc
Answer:	Hello. Thanks for your question. Our KVM can support most of the mouse and keyboard on the market. It works with Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard, but the mouse and keyboard must be common basic mouse&keyboard, because it can not support special mouse&keyboard keys, all KVM Switches with Hot Keys function on the market can not solve this special key compatibility issue, because it involves extra drives. MK550 is ergonomic keyboard, our KVM Switch USB keyborad port can not support its multimedia buttons, its mouse forward and backward buttons on the side may not be supported. We have considered this situation, so we add extra USB 2.0 port on our KVM Switch, you can use the USB 2.0 port to solve this incompatibility issue, the only problem is you will can use its Hot Keys function. I hope my answer is useful to you. If you have other questions, please tell us. Thank you again.

Question:	Does it draw enough power via usb that you can do without the adapter? please and thank you

Question:	Does logitech wireless mouse+keyboard with unifying usb dongle compatible with this device and can switch between connected CPUs
Answer:	this does NOT fully support logitech wireless dongles. as Beth noted, you have to plug them into the hub, not the dedicated mouse/keyboard ports. you lose hotkey functionality and the aforementioned ability to do remote switching.

User questions & answers

Question:	why does this need 2 USB connections to each computer
Answer:	If you have a wireless keyboard/mouse combination you will only need 1 USB port and can the other to switch a USB printer.
Question:	Can this switch between 2 VGA inputs without connecting a keyboard and mouse
Answer:	Can you clairify your question? 1. Are you asking if it will switch between two VGA inputs while using the same mouse and keyboard input? If so, the answer is no. When you click the button, it changes the VGA input as well as the mouse/keyboard input. 2. Are you asking if it will be switch between two VGA without having to connect a keyboad/mouse? Then yes, if you connect just two VGA inputs, it will switch between them with no issues.
Question:	Could two of the 2-port switches be daisy changed together to switch between 3 computers (mouse and keyboard only
Answer:	That might work, but it sounds like it would be a pain to switch between computers. Check out http://synergy-foss.org/. If your 3 computers are all on the same network, you can install Synergy on each one, and share the keyboard and mouse between them. It's seamless. There's no switching involved. Your mouse moves between the monitors as if it was all one big desktop. You can even copy and paste between computers. It's like magic. It's not perfect, but it's pretty cool.
Question:	can I switch computers with a hotkey
Answer:	Takoma's response is correct. You can use the default Scroll Lock-Scroll Lock-Enter hotkey to do the switching instead of the dedicated button provided. In my experience, the dedicated button seems to switch faster than the hotkey. The screen swaps and keyboard/mouse input seems to come alive in under 2 seconds with the dedicated button, as opposed to using the hotkey which seems to get the keyboard/mouse going in about 2 seconds, but the screen catches up another 2 seconds later for a total of 4 seconds.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product support keyboard and mouse dongle like Logitech unify or other ones
Answer:	The only ones that do anything (that I can tell) are the ones labeled 1/A, 2/B, 3/C, and 4/D (to select which computer is active). The rest don't make a beep or seem to do anything. No manual that I could tell. Also, it will come WITHOUT a battery for the remote, AND without telling you what kind of battery! It's a CR2025. I happily had some laying around.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this allow a dock to take control of dual monitors when docked, and revert to desktop(main) machine when undocked
Answer:	If I'm understanding your question correctly, then I believe the answer is yes. In my configuration, I have a MacBook Pro laptop (undocked and closed) and a Dell laptop that is docked (also closed). Both laptops remained closed at all times while I'm using my dual monitors. If I happen to open the Apple laptop, then the laptop screen becomes primary and one of the external monitors becomes the expansion screen. I'm sure this could be changed or altered using your computers configuration settings also. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will this work with an audiobox usb, 2 studio monitors, 2 pc towers, 2 monitors, 1 mouse & keyboard? i need it to handle all audio from both computers
Answer:	I am using it with an AudioBox iTwo and it works except that I don't use studio monitors just a pair of PreSonus headphones and that works. I can hear audio from both the PCs. I would assume that it would work with studio monitors as well.
Question:	Does it include the KVM cables? I didn't see it in the description
Answer:	Cables not included - they're extra, and big $$$ from StarTech. I purchased two of the StarTech KVM cables and both video cable portions had failed, one fairly quickly and the other about a year later. Suggest purchasing single cables elsewhere and ty-rapping them together rather that spending the big $$$ for Startech's. You should also take care to get the correct cables and make sure they are all the same pin configuration -- I had some problems initially that resulted in replacing some cables that were not getting along with the switch.
Question:	just to make sure...2 towers, 2 monitors(dvi). 1 keyboard, 1 mouse? thx
Answer:	2 Towers, 2 Monitors (1 DVI, 1 VGA), kb/mouse

User questions & answers

Question:	How many monitors can this support? I have three monitors that I want to share between two computers in different combinations
Answer:	If it's like the one I used to have, then it can support only one.But the bad news for you will be that while there are a few KVM switches which can support 2 monitors, a quick web search just now didn't find any that support more than that. HOWEVER there are a few ways around that to get more than 2 monitors.I assume that you have a DVI monitor since that's what this switch supports. If you can find a DVI-to-html converter (I know I've seen one in the past but I didn't find one just now) then if you convert your DVI to html and feed that to an html splitter box which allows multiple outputs, then you can run each of those to an html->dvi converter. But while in theory this approach would allow you to run anywhere from 2 to however many monitors you want to use (read "can afford"), in practice this setup would be so complex that it would probably (a) give more problems than you're likely to be able to solve, and (b) would cost a lot more than you'd like to spend.A cheaper solution would be to run multiple KVM switches (3 single-monitor switches, 1 single- and 1 dual-, or 2 dual- monitor switches). The problem there would be that even if you switch one of them with the keyboard sequence, you're still going to have to switch at least one of them manually as well. If you can find a keyboard splitter, then that might work; however, I haven't seen one of those in over a decade, and they were all in the pre-usb days :-(, so that's pretty unlikely.There is one other solution: at my previous office, there were a few techs who had 3 (or in once case 5) monitors and had switches for them which allowed the user to switch back and forth between multiple computers. The problem is that they were custom made for an extremely large (very large budget) company which didn't care about the cost. IIRC the cost for each switch (which looked more like a mid-tower PC) was in thousands.
Question:	Anyone used this with a laptop using a docking station? the gcs 1004 would not recognize my older lenovo as being on and in the loop through the dock
Answer:	I had problems using it with my Lenovo laptop with docking station. I turned out to be problems with the usb connection. My docking station has a number of USB ports so I tried them all until I found one that worked and after a couple of years I still can only use that one USB port. Not sure why it worked that way but it works. Good luck!
Question:	Does this switch work with window
Answer:	Yes, it does not need any drivers installed and is working on a system that was upgraded from 8.1 to 10 for me on this model and separately on a 4 port model.
Question:	Does this KVM support hotkey switching
Answer:	Yes. I don't have the full list of key commands in front of me but there is a pretty robust set of hotkeys that can switch the K/M, video, audio or all at the same time. See my review for details.

Answer:	It switches two monitors between 4 PC's. It's a fabulous KVM switch.
Question:	Is this unit rackable into a 19in rack and does it come with the ears? if so, how many U's does it take up
Answer:	Christina, this unit is not rack mountable unless you do some modifications. If you were able to do that, it would only be 1U.
Question:	Will this switch still work if I use a cable that has DisplayPort on one side and DVI on the other
Answer:	My IT dept provided me this 2-port KVMP switch with DVI-DL to DP cables. I got no video out of them. After lots of testing and calls to Dell, the conclusion was that I either needed an Active Adapter for DVI to DP, or to use DVI to HDMI. I was unable to test the active adapter solution. NOTE: With DVI to HDMI, I was limited to 720p resolution. With DVI-DL to HDMI, I got full 1080p resolution. Computer tested: Dell E5440 with docking station. Monitors tested: Dell P2717H (has both DP 1.2 and HDMI 1.4). Also, DVI DL to a monitor with DVI-DL input (my Samsung P2770) works great as well.

2 Port Dual Monitor DVI KVMP Switch with Audio

IOGEAR's GCS1642 2-Port DualView DVI KVMP Switch marks a leap in KVM functionality by combining IOGEAR's DynaSync with the widescreen graphics resolution of today's 30+ inch monitors, supporting DualView / Dual-Link DVI, 2560 x 1600 (higher than 1080p HD) and 3D graphics.

Two DualView / Dual-Link display computers can be accessed and controlled from a single console running dual-displays. This unique KVMP can increase efficiency and save equipment cost for applications where high resolution, 3D graphics, large or widescreen dual-display monitors are required, for situations such as:

- CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing).

- Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design / Video Editing.

- Medical / Surgical / Diagnostic Displays.

- And High-End Gaming.
