IOGEAR Announces USB KVM Switch for Laptops
August 25, 2008 at 04:05:19 PM, by Sourabh Kalantri
The new $130 USB Laptop KVM Switch allows you to control multiple computers from one set of keyboard, mouse and display.
IOGEAR's newly announced USB Laptop KVM Switch is the first of its kind that enables a laptop to replace the traditional keyboard, mouse and monitor on a second computer.
The new KVM switch from IOGEAR connects to any two computers via USB (laptop-to-laptop, PC-to-PC, or laptop-to-PC), so you can control one system from the other as a console. The software embedded in the Switch's firmware adjusts for desktop resolution scaling and also facilitates drag-and-drop file transfers via a shared temporary window. An extra USB 2.0 port on the switch allows for extra device sharing, such as with an external hard drive. No extra power supply is required, and the entire cable stretches a total of nine feet (three feet on one end, six on the other).
There's always a catch, right? Only problem here is that this sucker will work great as long as both systems run Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems. No cross-platform support (atleast for now).
Pricing & Availability:
The USB Laptop KVM Switch goes on sale starting today for $129.95 a pop.
