The MiniView™ Micro USB (GCS52U) KVM switch allows access to two USB
computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse).  This cost-effective
way to access two computers, without extra hardware, is highly efficient and easy to
use.  By allowing a single console to manage both computers, the MiniView™ Micro
eliminates the expense of purchasing extra keyboards, monitors, mice, and the
MiniView™ Micro eliminates the extra space they would take up.

The MiniView™ Micro USB KVM is small, portable, and fits right on or under your
desktop.  It also comes with a built-in KVM cable set to simplify the installation.
Setup is fast and easy: plugging cables into the appropriate ports is all that is
entailed.  There is no software to configure, and no imcompatibility problems.  Since
the MiniView™ Micro intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on virtually any
hardware platform and with virtually all operating system.

The MiniView™ Micro USB KVM provides a convenient method to access the
computers by simple Hot Key combinations from the keyboard.
