## Description

The IOGEAR 2x4 USB switch is a USB 2.0 peripheral sharing switch that allows two computers to share up to four USB devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, portable hard drive, etc. The GUS402 eliminates the cost of having multiple sets of USB devices for each computer. It also cuts down the cable clutter of your work area. Switching from computer to computer is easy with the simple press of a button and an LED to indicate the selected computer. You can also charge and sync your mobile devices through this unit. The GUS402 is USB 2.0 compliant with a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps and is hot swappable. It comes with over current protection to prevent your devices from being damaged by sudden current changes from the surrounding environment. The molded cable design for the computer side eliminates the need for more USB cables and makes the installation quick and easy.

Review: Amazing device - Very happy with the size and ease of use of the device. Does exactly as described (for now) and is compatible with my Windows PC, Windows Laptop and MacBook. Not a very long delay between swaps either. Will report back if there are any issues with the heat or USB ports after a longer use
Review: The setup was pretty simple to where i just plugged my mouse and ... - I purchased this switch back in October 2015 as I have been looking for a way to share my keyboard and mouse between my home desktop and my work laptop which sits on a docking station. The setup was pretty simple to where i just plugged my mouse and keyboard USB cables into the hub and then ran each of the hubs long cables, one each, to my desktop and laptop. The cables are even long enough that it allowed me to snake them around behind my desk so as that I did not have to run them through the front which is really nice to hide the desktop clutter. The button at the end of another cable, which switches between the devices, then runs to a spot right next to my keyboard for easy switching which only takes a couple of seconds. But for the past 4 months that I have owned this I have not had any issues with this and works great. Occasionally I will hit the button and it doesn't take but it is just a matter of hitting it again. It is still faster then me physically swapping keyboards and mice. The other issue is that you cannot tell which system the switch is currently pointed to. I have overcome this as I have an old Logitech G15 Keyboard which is backlit and has a status screen. I installed the Logitech Software which allows you to change what the display on the keyboard says(time, CPU Temp, etc.) Since I am not allowed to install outside software on my work laptop the keyboard just defaults to the G15 logo on the status screen. So I can tell if the switch is pointed to my desktop when I see the keyboard display show the time and will know that it is pointed to the work laptop when it just says G15. Additionally having a backlit keyboard lets you know when the hub has actually switched as when it powers on you know the connection should be working. Again would be nice for the button to display something but this works too. PROS 1. Easy setup 2. Long Cables make it easier to hide other then other KVMs I have tried in the past 3. Simple button press to switch which can be placed in a convenient location from the hub which also allows me to hide the hub 4. Quick changing 5. Doesn't Require software like some other switches 6. Small hub which makes it easy to hide CONS 1. Occasionally doesn't switch(though you just need to press it again if it doesn't take) 2. No way to identify which system the hub is currently directed to(maybe two LEDs with a label next to each shwing A or B or even jsut coloring coding an LED Green is A, Blue is B) Thanks IOGEAR this was exactly what I was looking for!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall very nice, but one problem with it (can be worked around)
*by C***R on February 23, 2016*

Works very well. Allows me to have a single keyboard mouse that I use for two computers at my desk, and to easily switch back and forth. The reason I don't give five stars (and this may be for a reason beyond this device in question and something else entirely, so I only took away one star), is that one of the computers will get stuck in the startup process if this device is plugged into that computer AND that computer is selected. The other computer works perfectly fine (both are Windows 7 PCs; the problem PC was purchased late 2009, so it's older). However, if I make sure the first PC is selected (the one that starts up fine), then the second PC upon startup will come to a screen saying that no keyboard is detected and get stuck there (and I can't switch over at that time because it doesn't recognize the keyboard until Windows starts up for some reason). I went into the BIOS and tried to change the start up order and made sure the PC would look to the hard drive before looking for external device to boot up and that did not fix the problem (since I thought maybe the PC saw the USB switch as device to boot up from for some reason). I'm using a wireless mouse/keyboard combo (both communicate with the same base station that plugs into the USB device). This is the same wireless mouse and keyboard I've had for a long time, and it had worked on this PC for years without problem. To fix the problem, I took an old wired keyboard, plugged it into the problematic PC, and left it sitting under the desk with the PCs (tucked out of the way). Now, the problematic PC can start up perfectly fine as long as the first PC is selected (it still freezes up during start up if I have that PC selected). I definitely prefer this system to my old arrangement (which involved two keyboards and mouse on the desk simultaneously), and I still think it was worth the purchase (and the price was reasonable). However, it's not perfect. But given the fact that my issue was on an old PC (and there was a workaround) and the other PC had no problem at all, this may not be an issue at all for other users.
