Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on USB Cables, Hubs & Adapters
I'm using this one to share my display-integrated active USB hub, and through that a mouse, a keyboard and an usb sound card between two PCs and it work flawlessly this far. Be aware that if you intend to share multiple devices through a hub with this one, thehub needs to be active to be able to power all of them. I've had a similar although much cheaper switch before, but that broke in a couple of months (electric contact issues that I couldn't fix). This sharing switch feels better built and more durable, so I'm guessing it's worth the price. This sharing switch is also semi-automatic! If only one of the PCs is powered the switch will automatically will connect your shared device/hub to that one, and you only ever need to press the select button if both PCs are powered simultaneously.

Unfortunately one of my computers will "talk" to this device and the other will not, which is massively frustrating. I have tested the one that will on both ports and it is fine. Conversely the one that won't, doesn't recognise either port. I'm guessing that the problem lies with the pc (an XP machine). So, in conclusion, this product is PROBABLY excellent but the fact that it appears incompatible with older computers gives it limited scope for use.

Does the job as expected, handy size and easy to install. Makes a tiresome job as easy as pushing a button. Compact, quick changeover and easy to use. As an afterthought I would have preferred the USB connection to come out of the side of the unit but thats a personal preference. =====================

Small and unobtrusive it is great for sharing a printer between 2 computers. Minor gripe, it is so light and not fitted with rubber feet so springy cables can move it elsewhere! I used 4 sticky fixers and parked it on the side of the printer.

Although small in size it was exactly what I wanted. I had no problems connecting it to my PCs and the printer. It has performed without any problems at all. I was a little disappointed that USB cables were not included but I suppose not everyone would want the same length cables. Very good value for the price.
