Can I control two computers with just one keyboard, monitor, and mouse?

Yes. That is exactly what the CS1732B is designed for. Connect both computers to the switch and use a single USB keyboard, VGA monitor, and mouse to control either one, switching with a pushbutton, hotkey, or the on-screen display.

Does it support audio switching?

Yes. The CS1732B includes 2.1 surround sound audio support with independent microphone and speaker jacks, and audio can be switched separately from the KVM and USB channels.

What is the maximum video resolution?

The CS1732B supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 and is compatible with widescreen monitors via VGA (HDB-15) connections.

Can I share a printer or USB drive between both computers?

Yes. The built-in 2-port USB 2.0 hub allows USB peripherals connected to the switch to be shared between whichever computer is currently selected.

What is the difference between the CS1732B and the CS1824?

The CS1732B is a 2-port VGA switch for older or standard-resolution setups. The CS1824 is a 4-port switch built for modern 4K HDMI systems with a USB 3.0 hub, suited to higher-resolution, multi-PC workstations.
