Overview The CS-62U USB Petite KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to two computer systems from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Before the development of the CS-62U, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the CS-62U, you can easily access two computers in a cost effective manner.
