Anyone use the IOGear GCS102U or GCS52U KVM products? These are for supporting USB at the computers.

Dear lord, 45 people read this post and none could offer experience. I guess I'll go ahead and get it and see how it works.

I have the 4 port version (not sure of the model number) It's been a great product. With the 4 port USB hub all PC's have use of 1 set of peripherals. The only problem I have had is if you cycle real fast through the switch a PC my lose connection with the keyboard and or mouse. A reboot resolves this though. I've had mine almost 2 years and the only feature its lacking is DVI support.

I have the GCS124U.

Hope this helps.

Useful0ne, thanks for the info. I went ahead and bought the GCS52U on the way into the workplace this afternoon and will give it a try in the morning.

I have the GCS104U and its great except for one thing...no keyboard shortcut to switch channels. I don't like my hands leaving the keyboard for anything. Other than that its perfect, besides having something like DVI.

Childs, I think I know what you mean. I installed the GCS52U this morning and noticed the following:

Mouse movement is a little jittery on the screen.
The #3 and #4 mouse buttons do not work.
The scroll-wheel button has a changed functionality.
Mouse shows up as an HID-compliant mouse.
Keyboard shows up as an HID-compliant keyboard.
Windows Update thinks this is newly installed:

I need the button functionality for the mouse. I do a lot of navigating and double-clicking with those non-primary buttons. I am not sure if it is the PS/2 interface on this KVM or something else being filtered from Windows proper detection. All I know if this ain't good.
