IOGEAR GCS1644 (4-Port USB HDMI KVMP Switch / 4K / $520.90) Review
IOGEAR GCS1644 4-port USB HDMI KVMP switch 4K audio
IOGEAR's 4-port HDMI KVM covers the same everyday multi-PC desk niche as ATEN's CS1644A, with pushbutton, hotkey and mouse switching plus USB and audio pass-through.
IOGEAR's 4-Port HDMI Answer
The GCS1644 gives IOGEAR loyalists a 4-port HDMI option that mirrors ATEN's CS1644A feature-for-feature, useful for shops standardized on one brand's remote control or firmware conventions.
Comparison to Alternatives
It is essentially a badge-and-price variant of ATEN's CS1644A, since IOGEAR and ATEN share underlying KVM engineering; buyers should compare current pricing between the two rather than expect a functional difference. Against IOGEAR's own GCS1642 (2-port), the 1644 doubles port count for desks with more than two source PCs.
