What customers say
This IOGEAR KVM switch is widely appreciated for its reliable, cost-effective performance in standard office or home settings. Setup is consistently praised as simple plug and play, getting users operational immediately. The core function of switching between four PCs for basic tasks is solid, and the compact design helps reduce desktop clutter. However, performance limitations exist. Users report video quality degradation above 1080p resolutions, sometimes noting blurring. Furthermore, specialized high-polling rate gaming peripherals occasionally experience lag or recognition issues upon switching. Overall, the device offers excellent utility and value when used within its intended parameters for moderate resolution management.
