Description

IOGEAR new MiniView Extreme Multimedia KVM and Peripheral Sharing Switch brings extra value to conventional KVM switches by offering USB peripheral sharing capabilities, audio and microphone support, and multi-platform support for Windows, Mac, and Sun systems using either USB and PS/2(additional cables needed for PS/2, IOGEAR Part No. G2L5302P). You can save money and space by eliminating the need for multiple monitors, keyboards, mice, and peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, zip drives, and more. Up to 127 different USB devices can be daisy chained from this KVMP switch. Sharing speakers and a microphone also offers extra value and convenience for the users.

USB and KVM technology together makes cross-platform management easy. A single USB console can control a PC and a Mac, or even a Sun workstation, and share peripherals and audio devices between the computers. Any USB-enabled computers, using any USB-compatible operating system, can benefit from the efficiency, expense reduction and convenience of IOGEAR Miniview Extreme KVMP switch.

Pros: Overall not a bad unit. Installation is easy. I only use the two buttons in the front and not any of the soft keys. I have it working with my laptop running XP and with my desktop running Fedora 12.

Cons: Button #2 works but is compressed. I have to press hard to make it work.

I never could get sound to work between two XP systems nor between my XP and Fedora systems.

Pros: Small, On units it works with it works well.

Cons: Ended up replacing due to issues with Nvidia chipset motherboards (I think it was the nforce chipset not sure anymore.)

Small, On units it works with it works well. Ended up replacing due to issues with Nvidia chipset motherboards (I think it was the nforce chipset not sure anymore.) IOGear has let me down on a few KVMs now... seems there little 2 unit yellow one hooks people and then they are led astray. Right now I'm using a LINKSKEY LKV-248AUSK (actually have two of them) I've also got a JustCom unit similar to the JC-CB104 (only mine has audio as well)

Pros: It does emulate well, doesn't take long to switch comps. No lag.

Cons: It doesnt let you use the usb keyboard while booting if your say reformatting. i cant get the quick switch to work. the device beeps when you change screens. the two extra ports don't work.

Pros: Worked just fine. No problems like the ones I was getting with my Belkin KVM SOHO.

Cons: It uses special cables instead of the standard ones, but I really don't care since it came with it.
