Product Description
A faster way to connect! Once again, IOGEAR raised the bar on quality KVMs. These desktop PS/2 KVMs feature the latest in micro-design and technology. Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. The 2 PS/2 console ports are on the front of the unit for easy and convenient access. IOGEAR's MiniView SE GCS84B provides two convenient methods to access the connected computers: use push-button selection switches, located on the unit's front panel; or type Hot Key combinations from the keyboard. There is no better way to save time and money than with IOGEAR's MiniView SE GCS84B.

Obtrusive Keyboard Shortcuts.......2007-12-13
Functionality is marred by a bad choice of keyboard shortcuts.
I bought this after being pleased with a two-port model by the same manufacturer.
However, the keyboard shortcut was well selected for the two-port model (Print screen, I think). But, this one uses the control keys, and that's a big problem. Accidentally bounce the control keys a couple of times and you'll end up connected to the wrong computer. For games that use the control key to fire or such, the situation is hopeless. Imagine having the KVM switch to another computer in the midst of a heated battle on that game level that you worked so hard to get to. Oh, the agony of defeat. But you won't have to watch; the monitor has been switch away.
Unfortunately, the computer industry has developed a fear of dip switches. But, if ever there was a place to have dip switches, it would be on KVM's to disable really stupid keyboard shortcut assignments.
Yes, we want freedom of choice. Give us our options; give us our dip-switches!
It's a pity that such fine quality electronics is marred by stupid design choices and a lack of options. And, while the box is both pretty and rugged, rectangular boxes are stackable and more easily mounted to other things.
Minus 2 stars for bad keyboard shortcuts.
Minus 1.5 stars for lack of choices.
Minus .5 stars for frilly case.
I now have a couple of SVIEW04 units, which I'm quite happy with, and I'm ordering a third. But, the memory of this foolish thing fades slowly.
Very good PS2/VGA KVM.......2007-11-25
It's only DB-15 for video and PS-2 for mouse and keyboard. If that's not what you need then move along.
But if you need a PS-2 KVM, this is the one you want.
I've used various KVM solutions over the years (Raritan, Belkin, Black box, etc.) and this one is very good. Quite frankly, for the money you're not going to get anything better.
Switching from computer to computer with CTRL-CTRL (left or right, depending on whether you want to switch down or up in number) works great.
Like any product, there are some gotchas:
- It seems to have killed macro ability on my Gateway2000 AnyKey keyboard
- The cables that came with it are OK, but they are cheap. If you have issues with your display being a bit fuzzy or unstable, try swapping out the VGA cabling. On my setup it helped a great deal.
P.S.
If you have a laptop, or any other PC that doesn't have the PS2 mouse/keyboard hookups, get the IOGear GUC100KM unit, it works flawlessly.
Also if you are looking for a wireless mouse that supports PS2 connectivity, the Logitech LX7 is also a great product that works with this KVM.
Good but not Perfect.......2007-02-06
Everyone's raving about this KVM, and compared to a lot of the cheap, home-use KVMs out there, the IOGear BCS84B is definitely very nice. It's a solid piece of equipment, switching from one machine to another is very fast and simple, and the 4 cables are nice indeed.
However, I do have a few issues with this device. First of all, placing the keyboard and mouse inputs on the front of the device was an idiosyncratic decision to say the least. Computer users long ago learned to route all cables under and around things. For me, this front mounting of keyboard and mouse connections means I've got cables coming out from behind my desk and hanging along the side in an ugly and annoying way.
The larger issue I'm having, however, is getting the KVM to work with the new Dell Desktop I bought. The new desktop does not have PS/2 connections, but this is no problem because I've got some adapters that work just fine, so long as I plug the keyboard and mouse directly into the desktop. However, if I do run the keyboard and mouse into the KVM and then run the KVM cable through the adapters and then into the Dell, Windows doesn't recognize the devices!
This is a major limitation as many new desktop computers no longer have PS/2 connections.
A very good KVM switch.......2007-01-04
This is the first KVM that I have used and it has performed flawlessly.
* BUY IT.......2006-11-05
Tired of being lied to about operating systems that can "multitask"? Get this and get some serious work done. Put up to four computer boxes next to your current KeyVidMouse setup. Put this 4-port KVM switch + a 4-port router and a hi-speed Internet connection and you are cookin'! It's so simple and effective it almost brings tears to my eyes.
You could take a few of these babies and a load of computers and make a nice server farm, all before breakfast!
Seriously, I love this thing, it only costs $100, and it doesn't need it's own power, it looks good, blah blah blah.
