Shared control for four PCs
The IOGEAR GCS24U lets one VGA monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse operate four computers. A wired push-button remote selects the active system without software or drivers. USB bus power removes the need for an external adapter. The unit targets home-office users and small labs that need basic multi-system access.
Passive cooling within 0–50 °C
The switch operates silently because it has no fans and draws minimal power from the host USB ports. Operating temperature range is 0 to 50 °C and storage range reaches -20 to 60 °C. Humidity tolerance spans 0 % to 80 % non-condensing. No active thermal management is required in normal desktop environments.
Molded cables and compact footprint
Four integrated USB-and-VGA cable sets reduce separate cable clutter and simplify initial setup. Console side provides one HDB-15 female video port plus USB Type-A female ports for keyboard and mouse. The enclosure measures 6.38 x 7.88 x 2.38 inches and weighs 1.46 lbs. Buyers needing DisplayPort, HDMI or more than four ports should consider other solutions.

Questions about this item
How do I install the GCS24U and what step is often missed?
Connect the four attached HDB-15 and USB-A cables to each computer, plug your monitor, keyboard and mouse into the console ports, then press the wired remote button to switch — the step often missed is ensuring each computer detects the USB keyboard and mouse before switching.
What maintenance or replacement will the GCS24U need later?
The unit has no user-serviceable parts; if a molded-in cable or the push-button remote fails, the entire switch must be replaced.
What limit appears first during sustained use of the GCS24U?
The operating temperature ceiling of 50 °C is the first limit reached under continuous load in a warm enclosure.
