Product Description
IOGEARs new eight-port Miniview Ultra KVM switch is the ideal tool to help reduce redundant hardware. Eight monitors, mice and keyboards are simply too expensive, bulky and inconvenient for most system administrators. Why bother when you can control all eight, or even up to 512 computers with a single keyboard, monitor and mouse The added audio support allows you to enjoy music while working. Just think of the time, space and money youll save, and added fun. The New Miniview Ultra is much more than a simple eight-port KVM switch. The dual interface support allows you to connect both PS/2 and USB computers on the same switch. The multi-platform support allows you to control Windows-based computers, Sun Solaris systems, Linux, or even Macs by a single KVM switch. IOGEAR extended the multi-platform support by supporting the special keys on both Sun and Mac keyboards. Top to learn more
Good KVM with some significant limitations
HistoryI have been using KVM switches for well over 10 years on my primary desktop as well as in a number of different situations (most of the others were support situations like computer labs, testing areas, server rooms, etc.). I am an advanced keyboardist (well over 70 WPM) and I am picky about my input devices (I use an Avant Stellar keyboard, a 2,000 DPI cordless laser mouse, and an iGesture pad as my primary input devices).FunctionalityI specifically purchased the 8-port IOGear MiniView Ultra+ (GCS1758). This KVM has some very impressive features. It supports a wide variety of video modes, as well as having a unique on-screen menu for changing computers and adjusting the settings of the KVM. It is very responsive to the change keystrokes and does a reasonable job of retaining the state of the keys used (num-lock and scroll-lock states).Like most KVMs it uses a keystroke combination to change states (num-lock followed by the...

Fantastic KVM - except for the V
Having 5 devices (2 laptops, 2 desktop PCs and a Sun workstation), I really thought that this 8 port KVM would do the trick for me as the specs promised everything I need (though not the DVI that I'd love): enough ports, USB, audio/mic, and high res video. Since I use a 24" 1920 x 1200 monitor, the claimed 2048 x 1536 video support was especially of interest to me. Unfortunately, only 1 laptop and 1 of the PCs worked at that resolution, and the other 3 had ghosting bad enough that reading text was difficult. Even at 1600 x 1200 it was bad enough that I would not want to work on it. Other than that one significant problem, it's a wonderful KVM. The controls and build quality have a nice feel, not cheap. The feature set is all I can imagine wanting. The manual is well written. I ultimately had to return it due to the poor video quality, though.
