2-Port VGA and DisplayPort KVM Switch Kit

The IOGEAR GCS22DPKIT lets one VGA monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse control two computers that may use VGA or DisplayPort outputs. It is aimed at home offices and small businesses wanting a simple way to share a single console. No software or external power supply is required for operation. The unit weighs 1.2 units.

Included DisplayPort to VGA adapters and cabling

Two DisplayPort to VGA adapters are bundled so DisplayPort-equipped computers can connect directly to the VGA console port. This removes the need to buy separate converters and enables mixed VGA and DisplayPort sources. Built-in cables keep the installation tidy and support video up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz. A quick start guide and warranty card complete the package.

Push-button switching and USB hot-plug support

Switching between the two connected PCs is done by pressing the front button; green LEDs show the active port. USB hot-plugging allows keyboards or mice to be added or removed without powering down the computers. Buyers who need audio switching or support for resolutions above 1920 x 1200 will find this kit does not meet those needs.

Questions about this item

Will the included DisplayPort-to-VGA adapters need replacement if I upgrade to a DisplayPort monitor?

The kit ships with two DisplayPort-to-VGA adapters; if you later connect a native DisplayPort display you can simply remove the adapters and use the DisplayPort inputs directly.

What video resolution ceiling will I hit first when running both computers all day?

The console VGA output is limited to 2048 x 1536, while the DisplayPort paths top out at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz, so the lower 1920 x 1200 limit appears first.

Does the unit get hot or noisy when left on continuously without an external power brick?

It draws power from the USB ports of the connected PCs, has no fan, and runs silently; typical warmth is barely noticeable during all-day operation.
