Review: Iogear MiniView KVM switch can save you space and money

 

This 4-port switch helps you share peripherals, audio and high-end displays among multiple computers

Supports DVI-D video and 7.1-channel surround sound, USB connectivity

Longest included cable is only 10 feet; switching among computers can be complex

If you're setting up a multicomputer installation, a KVMP is the ultimate way to save money by sharing a single set of peripherals that you'd normally hang on each PC. The MiniView's 7.1 audio and DVI-D video connectivity, plus its low pricing compared...

Working Well!

 

Very simple to connect. Connected two HP Printers MF1319 and 2600N Both were found by the print server without issues. The only thing that may be a nuisance is that you need to connect and disconnect to the printer so that you can use it or make...

Very good product - My second one

 

I purchased the first one for the office and simply worked and did what it's supposed to do. I purchased the second one, exact same model, for home.

Works great

 

The Sharing Station works as advertised. Set up was a breeze. It performs well sharing my external HD, external card reader and my Cannon printer. Does exactly what I wanted it to do which was share my devices in another room with my laptop.

Works as admin, but could bluescreen as joeuser

 

It bluescreens unless I log on as admin. This has been the case on two of my Windows 7 machines. One of those machines was assembled by staff at this store. The machine works great, but the addition of this sharing station causes bluescreens unless I...

Problems with Fedora Xorg drivers

 

The device doesn't seem to consistently and reliably relay accurate EDID information from the monitor to the Xorg driver, regardless if it is nvidia or intel. Have to resort to explicit modeline configuration.

Just What I Needed

 

My home desk runs up to 4 computers, a home server, a desktop with tv video, a personal laptop, and often a company laptop. I had a two port KVM, but it needed replacing. It wasn't USB and didn't have any audio cables. This 4-port box was delivered 2...

Works well

 

Out of the box I had problems, nothing worked and it hung up again and again. Had to keep rebooting and hooking up an extra monitor just to see what was going on. Seems the NEW keyboard I decided to use with the new switch was defective. Got an old one...

Functions but Troublesome

 

While the USB sharing station works after a fashion it is troublesome. A complete install of the unit configuration software is required on every computer it is used with. Not just the connection software. There are no directions on how to select a...
