Can't get it to see my keyboard or mouse!.......2007-09-13
I got this one. Was not sure it came with the cords from Amazon. So I got it some place else that for sure said it came with the cords.
I got it hooked it up to 2 PC's. Just could not get the mouse or keyboard to work! I can get the keyboard to work in the BIOS but that's it. I even tested 4 other keyboards on it and 2 other mouse. It just will not see it.
I wish they told me a way to reset this KVM. I called Trendnet. They will only call you back and I missed there call but they left there number. I called back and they put me on hold but could not get a person soon to take to me so will call me back again. Takes a day for them to call you back.
I put a USB keyboard and mouse on and it installed the drivers and worked. But not though the KVM! It's the TK-408.
Looks nice and the cords are nice. They just have the Audio and mic on one end of the cords The other end just the 15 pin plug. The out put has audio and mic. Number 1 and 2 inputs are on one side, the output on the other side, and on both ends are the 3 and 4 inputs.
The video and sound work real good. The video looks very good. I can't tell it's going though the KVM switch.
I hope they call me back so it works. It just will not see my keyboards or mouse!
Missed the called back 2 times. So I called them back and after about 20 min. Talked to a person. He said try some other cable and ports. I did but on the same computer one with a Intel D945GCCR mother board it will not see the keyboard or mouse! The keyboard can still use the HOT keys and get in the BIOS but nothing in Windows. He said use other ports too and I did but it did not help. I did a reset too. ScrLk + ScrLK + end but it did not help. I did that wile in the BIOS too. In the BIOS the hot keys will switch between computers too. It just will not work on the one computer and any port or any cord I use.
Only thing I can think of is use some USB to PS2 or maybe a BIOS update on the mother board.
The person on the phone said you can't find the truble with this. The only thing to do is replace it. I don't think any things wrong with it when it works with the other 2 PC's I have it hooked up to and one is Linux.

Almost perfect.......2007-08-23
This unit is unusual in it's use of proprietary cabling, however, the cables make much more sense and make for a much cleaner installation than the "standard" cabling used by other manufacturers. The only crazy thing is that the placement of the connectors on the unit itself which are two along one long side and one on each short side which could make installation in some situation less than ideal. For my needs it was a non-issue and the device works flawlessly in every way.
Best KVM +audio Yet!.......2007-01-11
I've been using a switch-gizmo to share a mouse, keyboard and video display between boxes for six or seven years. This four-port unit replaced a two-port unit with audio support by another manufacturer. What an improvement! This one gets it's power from the keyboard and is small. It fits on the corner of the desk. Best, I no longer lose connectivity when turning off one box and switching to another, requiring a reboot. And, all the cords are included, making this very economical.

Works Great.......2007-03-16
I use this for 3 computers and leave the 4th wire empty for the occasional repair work I do for relatives and friends. It works great for me. I wish it had some mounting system so I could hang it on a wall, but it's no problem to sit it beside the machines either...
No outside power is required, it draws straight from the ps2 port.
I'd definitely recommend it.
Product Description
A faster way to connect! Once again, IOGEAR raised the bar on quality KVMs. These desktop PS/2 KVMs feature the latest in micro-design and technology. Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. The 2 PS/2 console ports are on the front of the unit for easy and convenient access. IOGEAR's MiniView SE GCS84B provides two convenient methods to access the connected computers: use push-button selection switches, located on the unit's front panel; or type Hot Key combinations from the keyboard. There is no better way to save time and money than with IOGEAR's MiniView SE GCS84B.
Customer Reviews:
Good but not Perfect.......2007-02-06
Everyone's raving about this KVM, and compared to a lot of the cheap, home-use KVMs out there, the IOGear BCS84B is definitely very nice. It's a solid piece of equipment, switching from one machine to another is very fast and simple, and the 4 cables are nice indeed.
However, I do have a few issues with this device. First of all, placing the keyboard and mouse inputs on the front of the device was an idiosyncratic decision to say the least. Computer users long ago learned to route all cables under and around things. For me, this front mounting of keyboard and mouse connections means I've got cables coming out from behind my desk and hanging along the side in an ugly and annoying way.
The larger issue I'm having, however, is getting the KVM to work with the new Dell Desktop I bought. The new desktop does not have PS/2 connections, but this is no problem because I've got some adapters that work just fine, so long as I plug the keyboard and mouse directly into the desktop. However, if I do run the keyboard and mouse into the KVM and then run the KVM cable through the adapters and then into the Dell, Windows doesn't recognize the devices!
This is a major limitation as many new desktop computers no longer have PS/2 connections.
A very good KVM switch.......2007-01-04
This is the first KVM that I have used and it has performed flawlessly.
* BUY IT.......2006-11-05
Tired of being lied to about operating systems that can "multitask"? Get this and get some serious work done. Put up to four computer boxes next to your current KeyVidMouse setup. Put this 4-port KVM switch + a 4-port router and a hi-speed Internet connection and you are cookin'! It's so simple and effective it almost brings tears to my eyes.
You could take a few of these babies and a load of computers and make a nice server farm, all before breakfast!
Seriously, I love this thing, it only costs $100, and it doesn't need it's own power, it looks good, blah blah blah.
It worked for me.......2006-10-31
I usually only read reviews but never write any myself, but this time, I thought it would be necessary to let people know what my experience was with this product since there seems to be a lot of problems that people experience regardless of what brand or model of KVM switch they pick. Well for me, this nice looking, surprisingly compact KVM switcher worked just fine. I only have two CPUs connected to it right now, but I was worried before I bought this thing that I might have some trouble getting it to work because I need it to work with one standard PC and one server. Well it works just fine and I have it hooked up to one standard PC running Windows XP and it is also running fine with my server which is running Windows Storage Server 2003. Relief.
Works great but not with wireless KB and mouse.......2006-08-18
No problems with corded KB and mouse attached. Tried using wireless and it initially works but then freezes requiring the whole thing to be reset. I like that the unit comes with cables. Switching between computers is as simple as tapping the Ctrl key twice. It's great.

Works like it should (except).......2007-06-08
The Belkin 4-port KVM works very well except for one little problem. The Microsoft mouse will not scroll with the wheel. I can change from one computer to the others just fine. Still working on the mouse though. I would still recommend this product.
not that great.......2007-03-30
I had lots of problems with this KVM losing connection to my keyboard and mouse when switching between computers. The only way I was able to fix this was by using a converter that took the KB and Mouse PS/2 connections from the kvm cable and turned them into a single USB connection. $50 for two of these to fix a problem that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Cheaper than a new KVM I suppose.
I also have a lot of trouble using the KVM keyboard shortcut in Windows 2000, causing me to have to reach across my desk to hit the button on the KVM to switch to another computer, rather annoying.
It works fine with my monitor though, even at 1600x1200@85Hz, which is how it gets two stars instead of one.
My recommendation is to avoid this product.
So far So Good.......2007-03-23
I have had this Switch for about 3 months now and I am very pleased.
I had the two switch version, but lost a monitor and instead of buying another monitor, I bought this.
I have not had any problems switching between my four computers. One computer has Vista, one XP, and two have 2003 Server.
Only two pair of my cables are belkin cables. The other cables are a different brand and the cables work just fine.
My model frequently failed to detect mouse and/or keyboard.......2006-07-29
I used Belkin KVMs (OmniView SEs) in the late 90s and they worked very well; this model failed repeatedly and consistently to detect attached mice/keyboards on start up. If the system wasn't set to the PC that was booting, it was as good as useless, too.
I gave up and purchased a different brand. The replacement works flawlessly; I couldn't even sell the Belkin on eBay.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this model. In fact, I recommend you do not buy it.
Problems with modern mice.......2004-01-29
I have this device and a 2-port Linksys. Frequently with this one, I get a delay in or totally lose my mouse control when switching between computers. I'm using a MS optical mouse that is natively USB, with a USB-to-PS2 converter attached that could be a problem. Just a warning to those with similar configurations that they may get similar results. The Linksys KVM has no problems with my setup.

Attention: IBM Netfinity and Netvista users.......2004-05-16
Have been using this KVM for about a week. It works well and I like it...However;
If you are considering this purchase and use IBM Netfinity or Netvista computers you should go to Avocent's web site and look at their "Knowledge Base" for Switchview. Apparently the switchview doesn't handle the 2 and 6 pin on the mouse connector properly on these computeres and you need to buy the correct type of cable for a workaround (basically swap the keyboard and mouse cables).
This bit me and luckily I purchased Avocent cables and was able to use their workaround. Other than that, this is a good product. Works very well with other computers.
Excellent KVM.......2004-03-22
I bought this to replace a different brand rated for up to 1600 x 1280, which caused a very obvious loss of video quality on my LCD monitor 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz, analog input.
What a difference the Avocent made. I'm running 2 identical LCD monitors from a dual-head card, one connected directly to the computer. Side-by-side, I can't see any degradation at all on the switched monitor.
This KVM has a single button. To move from computer B to A, you press it 3 times. I was used to a separate button for each computer, and thought I'd miss that. But switching via keyboard (CTR, CTR, A, Enter) is even easier than reaching for the individual buttons; no software required.
Another unexpected advantage is the all-plastic case. Every once in a while, I'd feel a static discharge when I touched my metal KVM, and usually that would disable the mouse and keyboard until the KVM and all computers were rebooted. Doesn't happen with the Avocent.
All the connectors on the switchbox are female, i.e, require male connectors on the cable. My video cables were female, so I also bought Avocent cable sets. They're as good as any I've used, despite their moderate price.
This KVM is powered from the computers, but also has an input for a 6 vdc 700 mA wall wart, not supplied. The manual (CD only) doesn't say when you'd want to use direct power - maybe with older computers that don't power the keyboard when off.
My one email to the company - pre-purchase inquiry about whether it was reasonable to expect no video loss on an LCD -- was answered accurately, same day.
I've owned 4 desktop KVMs over the years, and used a number of high-end ones at work. Of those, this is the least expensive but the one I prefer for home or individual work area. I didn't do a lot of research, and can't tell you it's the best one currently available, or the best value. Just that it works well for me and is a whole lot more than I expected for the price.

Customer Reviews:
Plenty to like.......2007-05-08
There is plenty to like. First off it works well, and isn't that the main thing. One of the things I like the best is that it is able to power itself from the cables connected to the PCs and KVM so there is one less 'wall wart' to try and find a place to plug in. The 'combined cables' are a mixed blessing. From a neatness and reliability standpoint they are great. But that makes them proprietary, so you need to buy all new cables for this ... even if you have some sitting around. I also dislike the fact that they do not include any of the PC side cables. While I understand that including 4 cables would be a waste for many, the fact that I am buying the unit means that I have at least two PCs that I want to connect. So I would think that it would make sense to include 2 PC cables in the package. But that is just a minor rant since, in reality, the cost of the cables would be paid in any event.
Bottom line, it is my favorite of all the KVMs that I have used over the years.
BEWARE! Non-standard cables!.......2005-11-13
It turns out that this doesn't work like normal KVM switches: it uses special non-standard adapter cables, which apparently aren't necessarily available on amazon.com, or if they are cost a lot. So you can't replace your existing 2-port KVM with this one, for example, and reuse the existing cables. And you may not even be able to use THIS KVM because you may not be able to find the cables you need. This KVM switch only comes with ONE cable to attach to your mouse, keyboard, and video; you have to buy at least two additional cables to make this KVM switch functional.
So once you factor in the cost of the extra special-built cables you have to buy (assuming you can even find them), this KVM is VERY expensive. I'm returning mine. It would be nice if the item description bothered to mention the special cable type requirement.
