GCS22U
The IOGEAR GCS22U is a 2-Port USB Cable KVM allows users to share a VGA monitor, a USB mouse, and a USB keyboard between two computers. Users can switch between computers using the wired remote switch button that can be placed on your desk for convenience. It offers an out-of-box solution with no additional cables needed. It supports multiple operating systems including Windows, Sun, and Mac. It is entirely plug-n-play and requires no software to run. It is also powered through the USB bus and thus does not require a power supply to run. It is the ideal KVM for those who want a competitively priced, entry level KVM that will allow them to multitask with two computers at their disposal.

Question: Does the GCS22U have a "HOT KEY" function?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. We did not find any reference to Hot Key switching functionality in the documentation. The manual only references the push button.
Question: Can I switch between computers using keyboard in case the wired remote switch button cut off
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, it looks like this KVM does not support hotkey switching via the keyboard. Switching can only be accomplished by the push button on the remote controller.
