Does this KVM support hotkey switching?

Yes. I don't have the full list of key commands in front of me but there is a pretty robust set of hotkeys that can switch the K/M, video, audio or all at the same time. See my review for details.

This is a great KVM switch, But I found that I could not mix DVI and VGA inputs. It had to be all VGA or all DVI.

I have used both of these KVM with this keyboard:TRENDnet 4-Port USB KVM Switch Kit with Audio by TRENDnet2 Port USB Micro SV211KUSB by StarTech I have had no issue they work fine. However, I don't install the software for the switches, so I don't know if this might be a problem.

Yes you can. It automatically switches whichever way. BUT it is pretty uncomfortable and bulky to use in that mode. :)

You can plug two USB devices into the KVM switch and both devices will work on each machine, one machine at a time. Each machine will only need the one USB cable coming from the KVM switch to operate both USB devices.

Nobody responded in the last week so I'll provide an update myself (Boomer). I purchased the cheapest lighted keyboard I could find (not the Saitek) to test it with my KVM switch. Bottom line: everything works great. I thought if the light caused the switch not to operate properly, I could just turn the light off when activating the switch. In fact, that wasn't necessary (at least for the keyboard I purchased).

Probably not. This KVM switch is designed for PC2 connections. Wireless, to the best of my knowledge, is strictly USB.

It should. I've got 8 of them I've been using with various KVMs. Occasionally the converter goes stupid and needs to be reset, this usually happens when booting the computer. Disconnect and reconnect and it usually fixes it.

No, it doesn't support hotkeys. You have to use a little controller that comes with it which forces you to take your hands off the keyboard.

Hi Marla Not being around kvm much but it stands for keyboard video mouse. Unless there is a usb connection of A or B for a usb cable as such is here.

The problem is that the GSC22U doesn't do emulation. A KVM that does emulation continues to tell the disconnected computer that a keyboard and mouse are still connected and the computer doesn't drop the device. With this KVM when you switch computers it's like unplugging from one and plugging into the other, with the delay that computer has when you plug in a new device.

I doubt it as the hot keys do not seem to be configurable in general. I spent much time researching whether I could reprogram some of them at one point, and the answer was no. If you want to know for sure, try sending an email to Kinesis' support. I've found them very responsive to questions in the past.

I am currently using one on a 4 port KVM it works great. That said it might depend on the KVM. If it has a USB port I would give it a shot.

Sorry, ahnundh, the basic Iogear KVM does not seem to recognize the Logitech illuminated keyboard. Not lighted, not unlighted, not at all....

Yes. I am using one right now with a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. This KVM switch works.

Yes. I use it with KVM switch between my PC desktop and Mac laptop. Some of the extra buttons have different default assignment under two OSes, but other than that, no issues
