Now that the new Mac mini is out, it's time for the third parties to start rolling out their accessories for it.

One of the most useful additions to the mini is the MiniView 4-Port USB KVM Switch from IOGEAR. This device that simply adds another unit stack on top of the mini provides the simplest way to share a keyboard, mouse and monitor, as well as speakers across four computers. The KVM switch is self powered and features unique USB sniffing technology to ensure smooth operation and Plug-n-Play support for most keyboards, monitors and wheel mice. The patented Video Signal Enhancement technology provides full 32-bit color at resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536.

The device is cross platform compatible, being fully usable with Macs and Windows Computers as well as Solaris Workstations. It even knows how to emulate the special hotkeys available on Mc and Solaris machines if you are working with a PC keyboard.
