Pros
The switcher button is handy and inconspicuous. Comes with mouse emulation enabled by default. Takes some finesse to get the correct hotkeys to deactivate mouse emulation.

Highlights
Quality
Has a 2 year warranty and iogear were easy to work with and readily replaced the failed device
Easy to install and works great to switch monitors
Worked great at first but ultimately failed
0 and the screen quality changes slightly
Price
This is an excellent product at a great price for connecting 2 computers to one monitor keyboard and mouse
Iogear makes solid products at a low price point
Packaging/appearance
I supplied the display port cable that connects to the front of the box and plugged my usb keyboardmouse dongle on the front as well
Add the fact that all these cables are wanting to flip the box in all sorts of directions and it isnt near as nice looking as the photos
Competitiveness
Had to return a different brands kmv switch didnt work
I bought this to replace an older iogear kvm switch that used dvi
