Strengths: Works 98% on my Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite.
Summary: I am writing this review because I have found after searching high and low and calling IOGear that information regarding what will “ACTUALLY” work and what won’t is wholly inadequate.
I have a Compaq Evo 610c laptop (work) and a Dell Dimension 3000 desktop (personal) and I wanted to be able to use both with my 19” LCD and my Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite (Keyboard w/multimedia and Mouse with tilt wheel). The USB model from IOGear (GCS632U) does not work nearly as well.
The ONLY complaints that I have about this is that I ended paying for the audio switching and don’t use it and that it doesn’t support the horizontal tilt-wheel on the mouse.
The workaround is…..THE TILT WHEEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD DOES WORK. Halleluiah !!! After about 5 minutes in a nasty Excel spreadsheet, I found that I liked using my left hand on the scroll/tilt wheel on the keyboard anyway.
All of the multimedia buttons and other programmable features of the keyboard work perfectly. And neither computer freaks out when you switch (USB KVM can cause this).
If you have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard, USE THIS KVM SWITCH !!!
