The 8-Port USB PS/2 Combo KVM Switch Kit from Iogear makes connecting a single console to multiple computers extremely easy. In addition to the switch, you will receive as part of the kit two 6-foot USB KVM cables, two 10-foot USB KVM cables, two 6-foot PS/2 KVM cables, and two 10-foot PS/2 KVM cables. These cables allow you to connect the switch with computers that rely upon the VGA interface and either PS/2 or USB ports for mouse and keyboard connections.
Matching your monitor's resolution and refresh rate capabilities with the KVM is crucial, as many budget switches cap out at 4K 30Hz or 1080p. Ensure it supports the exact number of monitors and computers you need. Available from $349.99.
