I liked the included cables, and the biggest challenge was figuring which USB slot on the switch corresponded with which cable if I only were to use one (i.e. not a problem at all). My mouse/keyboard are on one shared transmitter, and it works fine. Some have asked about the switching time, and it is only the time it takes your computer to jump from single to double monitor mode -- usually under a second or so. Note if your computer goes to sleep mode, there can be a significant delay in getting things to wake up and recognize the added display. If the machines are "awake," the switch toggles through them just fine. Since I have 3 brands of PCs ranging in age from 2014 to as far back as 2007 (the thinkpad) this seems to vary by PC/video card. Oddly, the new 2014 Dell seems the most twitchy. I often have to remind the PC when waking up that the added KVM display is more than XGA -- and this isn't an issue with the HP laptop nor the Thinkpad, so there's something internal to the Dell's controller (or a setting I'll look into). I also like the fact that this supports "Max resolution 2048x1536" and my shared monitor is >HD resolution -- 1900x1200, and the switch handles it fine. Last thing: because I only am using one USB on the switch for the shared mouse and keyboard, I'd hoped to use the second plug for an external USB drive. The spare USB on the KVM *will* support an external, *powered* USB hard drive (I tried a portable, and there's not enough juice to run the non-powered drive), BUT, two of my older laptops couldn't recognize this connection. Even though they both can work with the tested drives, it "failed to install drivers" when going through the KVM switch. It worked with my newer PC, but not the older laptops. I don't blame the Iogear KVM for this, of course, and this was a "nice to have" but not a necessary feature for my setup, so I am quite pleased overall. Review: A great way to reduce keyboard, and mouse clutter during live streams. - So far, this device is working very nicely. I've been building a streaming studio, and this is coming in very handy for eliminating keyboard clutter in the studio. With this device, I'm able to switch between multiple computers, with just one keyboard, mouse, and monitor. However, I don't use the VGA component, since all my systems are independent, yet must be visible at all times. So, I just use the USB portion of the device. My only gripes are that the cable for the remote is so thin, I'm afraid it might get damaged under constant wear, and tear, and that it would've been even better had the device indicator LEDs been on the remote, rather than on the very part of the cable system which is now tucked away, behind monitors, where it belongs. My only concern is that by adding cable length to USB devices, signal strength could degrade a bit, but I've not noticed any problems with just a keyboard, and mouse. I've not tried using the device for data transferring devices like USB drives, SD cards, or removable drives. Frankly, I'd seriously stick to directly connecting those types of devices just to be safe. Other than that, the rest of the cabling seems fairly durable, and tough enough to do what needs to be done in a studio. I wish I'd gotten one of these a long time ago. Now, it's easy to switch between the streaming PC, chat monitoring PC, and gaming PC with but a press of a button. ## Features - Iogear 4-Port Usb Vga Cable Kvm Allows Users To Share A Vga Monitor, A Usb Mouse, And A Usb Keyboard Between Four Computers.

I found the installation to be quite simple as the cabling is attached. Simply plug your monitor, mouse and keyboard into it and then plug one of its cable sets into each of your machines and you are good to go. No fuss, no muss. Now for the "buts:" My first issue is the cable length. They are 4' I would have liked to have seen 6' The wire for the control button seems extremely flimsy. And the biggest ding is the fact that there is no keyboard shortcut to change machines. That can be a bit of a PITA. This is doubly concerning given the flimsiness of the controller wire. If that wire does fail the thing basically becomes a paperweight. However, I knew 2 of 3 of these things (Cable length and lack of keyboard shortcut) going in and these were accepted given the low price point. The cable length issue is one easily addressed for me with USB and VGA extension cables. Overall, for the price I would recommend this as an inexpensive option for someone who needs to control a couple/few machines in a non-production setting. ## Frequently Bought Together - IOGEAR 4-Port USB KVM Switch with Cables and Remote GCS24U, Black - Moread HDMI to VGA, Gold-Plated HDMI to VGA Adapter (Male to Female) for Computer, Desktop, Laptop, PC, Monitor, Projector, HDTV, Chromebook, Raspberry Pi, Roku, Xbox and More - Black - Cableader Adapter, DisplayPort (DP) to VGA Male to Female Converter (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/432357-iogear-4-port-usb-kvm-switch-with-cables-and-remote](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/432357-iogear-4-port-usb-kvm-switch-with-cables-and-remote) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
