IOGEARs premium USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch enables four PCs and/ or Macs to share one USB device or group of USB devices through a USB Hub on one-at-a-time base. The peripheral can be assigned to a computer either manually or with hot keys (plug-n-play). Unique advanced management is available through a Windows-based application (included) that can limit or extend the sharing capabilities between one, two, three or four computers.

What Customers Say About IOGEAR GUB401 4 to 1 USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch:
|
|
If this device switched immediately and reliably, it would easily rate more than 5 Stars. The problem is that there is a 3 to 4 second delay in switching the keyboard and mouse, and sometimes the switch has to be toggled back and forth to select the right computer. This IOGear switch gets the job done for my system. I have three computers that use a single keyboard and mouse, and this switches them fairly well.
This makes it difficult to tell at a glance which port is active. Instead of locating each of them adjacent to or even inside the switch buttons, where their meaning would be intuitive, for some unfathomable reason, they are in an unmarked vertical column in the middle of the switch housing. The problem is exacerbated if the housing is lying flat on an elevated surface, and must be viewed at an oblique angle.Perhaps the stylists at IO Gear outnumber the human factors engineers, or they may have none of the latter, but a redesign would make this a far nicer product to use. The switch seems to work satisfactorily. My major complaint is with the positioning of the LED indicator lights that tell which port has been chosen.
We have 3 computers sharing 1 printer and switching between them is easily done from everyones desktop. Easy to install. Works well. Does everything it's suppose to.
