IOGEAR offers a wide range of KVM switches that can help game developers save time and improve their productivity. These switches allow developers to control multiple computers with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor, which can be invaluable when working on large projects. IOGEAR has now released our first KVM with Matrix capabilities and Mouse crossover functions and a Triple Display USB-C Docking station KVM.

Game developers often need to work on multiple computers simultaneously. This can be a challenge, as it can be difficult to keep track of multiple keyboards, mice, and monitors. KVM switches solve this problem by allowing developers to control multiple computers with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. This can save a significant amount of time and effort, and it can also help to improve their productivity.

IOGEAR offers a wide range of KVM switches. These switches offer a number of features that are beneficial for game developers. Support for high resolutions and refresh rates, which are often needed to work with high-resolution displays and high resolution content. IOGEAR's KVM switches support resolutions up to 4K, which can provide a smooth and immersive experience for game developers.

IOGEAR's KVM switch features

  • Multi-Display support: Many game developers use two or more monitors. IOGEAR's KVM switches support dual-head configurations, which allows developers to connect two or more monitors to a single KVM switch.

  • Hot-key switching: IOGEAR's KVM switches offer hot-key switching, which allows developers to quickly switch between different computers without having to use the mouse.

  • USB pass-through: IOGEAR's KVM switches also offer USB pass-through, which allows developers to connect USB devices to the KVM switch, such as external hard drives or printers.

GCMS1922 2-Port 4K KVM Switch with Audio is our latest addition to IOGEARs KVM product line. While most KVMs only allow you to switch connected peripherals between two computers, the IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort Matrix KVM Switch is different. Simply by switching from Extension mode to Matrix mode, the GCMS1922 will allow you to work on projects and applications across two different machines without missing a beat.

In Extension Mode, like traditional KVMs, you can extend the content of one PC across the two connected displays. In Matrix Mode, you can view two different computer desktops on the connected monitors and use your mouse to travel across both systems seamlessly. No need for hotkeys, button inputs or additional software—simply move your mouse cursor to the edge of the screen and it will automatically switch to the other computer.

Toggling between modes is easy. Whether you use the mode button on the front panel of the GCMS1922, the included wired remote, mouse crossover, or hotkeys, the GCMS1922 will become the ideal tool for the multi-tasking user.

If you like to work on high power USB-C laptops, then IOGEAR has a solution for you as well.

The Dock Pro Duo GUD3CDHTAA is a versatile docking station that allows you to multitask efficiently, transfer data at high speeds, and keep both of your USB-C host computers charged. With the Dock Pro Duo, you can share video and USB peripherals between two computers, work on high-resolution projects with up to three 4K displays, and switch between the two computers with ease using hotkeys.

The Dock Pro Duo also provides two USB-A Gen 2 ports and one USB-C Gen 2 port for data transfer at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This means you can quickly transfer files between your computers, external hard drives, and other devices. In addition, the Dock Pro Duo provides up to 100W of power delivery (PD) to each of your USB-C host computers. This means you can keep your laptops charged even when they're under heavy load.

The Dock Pro Duo is also compatible with all USB-C computers, including Windows and Mac OS platforms. This means you can use it with a wide range of devices. If you're looking for a versatile and powerful docking station, the Dock Pro Duo is a great option. It's perfect for anyone who needs to multitask efficiently, transfer data at high speeds, and keep their computers charged.
