The KVM switch should come with one cable that connects to your mouse, keyboard and monitor. Then you connect additional cables to each pc you want to control. It works very will and eliminates the need for additional keyboards, mice and monitors.

It came with all the cables. It would be obvious if they showed a picture of the back and all of the cables.

It has all the cables you normally need. Hopefully, your VGA monitor came shipped with a VGA cable. Any USB corded mouse and keyboard will work with the KVM Switch.

You have to have Full Size HDMI to micro HDMI adapter to connect desktop monitor, and OTG - micro USB cable to connect USB keyboard and mouse.

I used this cable to connect and old KVM switch with ps2 connections only to a new computer with usb only. Keyboard worked ok but couldn't get the mouse recognized. Had another adapter in use with another computer. Verified the issue moves with this adapter. Not sure if the problem is with the adapter or switch.

Doris, I have never done this before, but there is no reason, that I can think of, why that would not work. Should not be an issue. I assumed........., based on your question, that you will have all of your peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc....) connected to the KVM switch, and that you will be switching back and forth between the two CPUs (computers). One for work and one for home?

The pc audio cable jack on the KVM is the same as the one on the laptop. The cables come with the switch.

Yep. Just connect the monitors directly to cpu and the keyboard and mouse via switch. I Have not tried it but there is no reason it should not work.

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.

I have never tried using it with one computer. If you only have one computer, why would you need a KVM switch? Try disconnecting the un-used port and see if it works.

Yes you can use one keyboard & mouse for two computers with that KVM, but it might degrade the quality of the picture of your monitor. I used it once and stopped because it didn't work well with one of my computers.

Basically, the only thing that the KVM switch would do is allow the 2 computers to share a monitor, KB & mouse.Other than that, they could be "connected" via network.I don't know if that helps.

My IOGEAR GCS1744 KVM switch works fine with the Logitech illuminated keyboard. Make sure it is powered.

vga, but with the USB 3.0 I run it through a USB hub to transmit DVI- hope this helps

If your powered KVM (and attached devices) support USB it sure will.Unpowered KVMs might not work.

This WILL work with any computer that has a VGA connection or an VGA connection to whatever output, (for example DVI....) you have.... The OS doesnt matter just the Hardware port.... So pretty much you can be running XP, Vista, 7, or 8 and as long as you have a VGA connection to plug into the KVM Switch it WILLL work... Unless the VGA port is shot lol

I didn't switch only the monitor, but I did not use all the ports/plugs. I did not plug in the speaker cords and the KVM worked just fine. When the monitor port became unplugged (because my laptop doesn't provide holes into which to screw the monitor port) due to jarring the laptop, the other connections were not disrupted. I'm pretty confident that you can switch only the monitor.

Not sure about the monitor but if you're using a wireless kybd & mouse (Logitech in my case), then the answer is NO!!! The Unifying USB receiver s only capable of recognizing only one device type, that means 1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 1 touchpad. Apparently it doesn't pass that through the Iogear switch. At least not for me :-(
