| Review | Rating | Last Updated | I just loooove my KVM!
One keyboard, mouse and monitor to rule them all! Great for switching between work and home machines and only needing one mouse, keyboard and monitor. A nice easy way to reduce a cluttered home office. | 5 | Today | 2 new units break down within 30 days - Lemons or bad products?
My job requires a KVM switch for QA purposes to test different OS/browser combinations. In building the lab I decided to go with Belkin after researching various switches. I'm configuring a lab with a Mac G4, Mac mini, NC6000 laptop and HP DC5100 mini tower. I'm using the HP supplied keyboard and mouse, and a ViewSonic 19 LCD flatscreen.
The first KVM worked well for right at 30 days. At that point the mouse began to act erratic, followed shortly by the switch only working in the #1 slot (laptop). I ordered a second switch and the same thing happened within 30 days again.
I'm going to return the switch and try the well rated IOGear MiniView 4 Port USB KVW. | 1 | Today | When they said SOHO, they really meant it
My first impression of the Belkin OmniView SOHO Series 4-Port KVM Switch was that it was HUGE! The futuristic design takes up unnecessary amount of space for a KVM switch with only 4 ports. That said, it looks COOL enough to have on your desk, but the problem is, it quickly becomes uncool when you attach four sets of cables to the unit. The cable "management" cover (which only hides the cables) will not fit back on the unit with 4 sets of cables bulging out from the unit.
Like the other reviewers, I also had problems with unrecognized PS/2 and USB devices during startup. This is because the OmniView SOHO has crumby mouse emulation. A more professional KVM switch will emulate a mouse/keyboard signal when the computer searches for attached devices during startup. So, any kind of Windows or Linux machine is out of luck. Only Macs will rescan the ports when the KVM is switched to its port... so that means, if you only have Macs, you won't have this problem. Other's will just have to sit in front of the computers and switch the ports while they startup one computer at a time.
So let's say you have 4 Macs connected to the unit. Once you press a button to switch between computers, it takes a few seconds for the new screen to appear. This is more of a electric issue than anything. Your monitor and computer must sync refresh rates and resolutions because your computer thinks there's a new monitor. You'd see this issue with a lot of other entry level KVM switches.
BTW, YES the cables ARE sold separately. But that's because they have USB and PS/2 versions. IoGear's MiniView (cables included) is a much better (albeit vanilla box) alternative for an entry level 4 port KVM. | 3 | Today | Absolutely awful
Followed the instructions to the letter. PCs would not work once connected and even worse stopped XP starting up - had to go back to restore point. Belkin email support is next to useless. I would strongely recommend buying a KVM product from another supplier. | 1 | Today | There are better KVM solutions
Besides the fact you have to buy the cables separately as others have mentioned, Belkin support is horrible. The automated system consistenly disconnects the call, requiring going through their operator. My 4-port KVM stopped functioning after six months. There's no information on the web to help either. It's as if there IS no way to fix a KVM that doesn't work. Flash upgrading is a joke. I followed the procedure directly from Belkin's website. So I had to RMA replace it. Trust me, Belkin doesn't care about its customers and arrogance will be their downfall. Go with IOGEAR - they include all the cables with the KVM switch for the price of Belkin's without cables. | 1 | Today | Rip Off!
I'm evaluating the DVI version. The cables are sold seperately, so what's the point to buy a KVM without cables?!?
Lastly, hearing the problems doesn't surprise me, as working with the two port version, I had some problems where computers becames unresponsive. | 1 | Today | DVI version sucks
cable won't fit
Power supply cable covers other connectors
mouse does not not work
includes flash update cable but web site has no flash images
If you don't plug a keyboard into it sits there and just beeps
What idiot designed this trash.
| 1 | Today | Just a warning from an experience with the DVI version
I'm extremely unhappy with the Belkin OmniView SOHO Series 4-Port KVM DVI Switch with Audio. I'm sure most of this applies for the VGA version 1) It is nearly impossible to connect a cable to the console DVI Connector. Belkin had to overnight a special extender to connect the monitor DVI cable to the KVM. 2) Connecting the Power Adapter to the KVM blocks one of the peripheral USB ports. 3) It's absolutely impossible to put on the cover (i.e. cable management cover) if you connect the four (Belkin) cables to it. 4) Connecting only two PCs with a resolution of 1600x1200 to the KVM resulted in green shadows for one connection. (both NVidia cards GeForce 4 (4200 series) and a Geforce 5 (5200 series) 5) The Microsoft Wireless Keyboard doesn't work as stated in the manual. I did manage to plug in the wireless dongle connector to the USB mouse port on the KVM but now I can't use the hotkeys to switch between computers. Belkin has also indicated that wireless keyboards don't always work as stated in the manual 6) There isn't a FAQ or software/firmware upgrade listed for this device. I would recommend checking out the belkin support pages or lack there of. | 1 | Today | Solid KVM Switch With Audio
I bought this over a year ago, and am very pleased with it. It was easy to set up, and works well with all my Windows XP Pro boxes. Switching between PCs is fast enough, with only about a second delay (typical of KVMs in general) to restore the mouse pointer. Once locked to a particular PC, the KVM is very stable. I've had no problems with either the video display or keyboard/mouse functionality on any of my Windows-based systems and can play games as well as perform all normal office-type tasks with no noticable performance degradation. The only issue I have is with losing mouse control when switching to my Red Hat 9.0 server running X (not a big deal since I primarily access the terminal from the command line on remote anyway). There is no issue when I boot up the Linux box and use the KVM without switching to another workstation. I suspect the problem may be fixable, but it has never been enough of an issue for me to pursue it, given my needs. The unit has the unique ability to support stereo audio as well as firmware upgrades. In addition, the cable management is cleverly built in to the sleek housing as opposed to completely exposed as in most square footprint KVMs, thus saving a small amount of desktop space. Overall, in my experience, the Omniview has been a good KVM for the money. Pros: Supports Audio switching Unique cable management design Supports most common and higher-end video resolutions No noticable performance loss with games or everyday tasks Upgradable firmware Cons: Sketchy support for non-Windows OSes (though I haven't yet upgraded the firmware) Does not support 5.1 channel audio Requires specific type of KVM cable (male male) cable management design can be limiting | 4 | Today | Truly frustrating!
Like a '54 XK120, this thing is beautifully styled, and utterly unreliable. It randomly loses connectivity to both my Intellimouse, and my MS USB keyboard. 30 - 90 secondes go by and then it reconnects, sometimes to redisconnect within seconds, sometimes it'll stay connected for half an hour at a time. Weirdly, it seems to maintain connectivity to the Monitor - though often as a generic display rather than as a flat panel Samsung. I used an IOGear two port KVM successfully until I got the third machine going, but I got sucked in by the style. my mistake! I give it 0 stars for performance, 4 stars for style, average, 2 stars. | 2 | Today |
