Two-Port USB VGA KVM Switch

The IOGEAR GCS22u lets one USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor control two computers. It suits home-office users who separate work and personal systems or need a simple way to share peripherals. No software installation is required for basic operation. It is not for buyers who need more than two computer connections or digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort.

Molded-In Cables and Remote Button

The unit ships with 4 ft. molded-in cables that combine video and USB links, reducing cable clutter and simplifying the initial setup. A wired remote push-button provides instant PC selection without reaching the main switch. Plug-n-Play monitor support and DDC2B communication handle display detection automatically. There is no on-screen display menu or hotkey switching sequence included.

2048 x 1536 Maximum Resolution

Video bandwidth supports up to 2048 x 1536 resolution, which covers most legacy and office VGA displays at standard refresh rates. The compact chassis measures 0.87" x 3.00" x 2.50" and weighs 14.00 oz., fitting easily on a crowded desk. Bandwidth headroom runs out with higher-resolution analog signals or when longer cable runs degrade signal quality.

Questions about this item

Will the built-in 4 ft cables need replacing if the connectors wear out?

The cables are moulded into the switch, so a worn connector means replacing the whole unit.

What video limit appears first when running two computers at 2048 x 1536 all day?

The switch tops out at 2048 x 1536 via VGA, so that resolution ceiling is the first bottleneck.

Does the GCS22u generate noticeable heat or fan noise during continuous operation?

It has no fan and draws power from the USB ports, so heat and noise stay minimal.
