will this unit work with laptops only ? will it work with wireless keyboard mouse too ? I've tried several other kvm that do not work properly
Thank you for your inquiry,

The GCS24U will work with any PC with a VGA video output including laptops or desktops as inputs. You would use a keyboard, monitor, mouse station for switching between the connected devices.

As far as wireless keyboards / mice go: Using wireless keyboards and mice is very hit or miss when it comes to KVMs. The reason that they do not work with a lot of KVM switches is that most KVMs use restrictive USB ports that only allow HID devices (human interface devices such as a keyboard and mouse). USB HID is usually not able to recognize a wireless transmitter as a keyboard / mouse input. We cannot guarantee a particular wireless setup will work with a particular KVM.

That being said, customers who attempt to use wireless keyboards and mice find Avocent switches, like the above SwitchView VGA KVM, to work best. Alternatively, we have heard of some success when using the USB hub connection (which this switch also has) as opposed to the USB console connectors. However, this typically results in some loss of functionality in regards to Hotkey switching and other keyboard supported functions.

Again, it is a hit or miss proposition and we cannot guarantee any switch will work. For best performance and compatibility, we always suggest wired keyboards and mice.

Where are drivers for Linux to use this product (Iogear GCS24U)?
Thank you for your inquiry,

The GSC24U should be an out-of-box / plug-in-play solution with no additional cables or software installation needed. Iogear does not have product drivers or firmware available for the GCS24U.
