An upstream port can connect with just about any peripheral. Share a printer, scanner, or hard drive by pushing the Selector Button on the front of the switch.

 Great Choice June 21, 2008

My three computers are linked to the switch box and all is well. I am very pleased with how small, functional, and effective the switch box is.
Works great with my four Macs! July 16, 2007

I love how easy it is to have my MacBook Pro connected to an external keyboard and mouse when I'm at my home/office and switch easily over to my Mac minis and Mac Pros without any problems. Best time saver, space saver and pain in the a$$ saver I've bought in quite a while!
No muss, no fuss. Read more for ACTUAL dimensions... October 20, 2006

I almost didn't buy this product because of the incorrect dimensions listed in the product description. As of this writing, the product dimensions are listed as 10" in size. I didn't want a 10" paperweight on my desk! Well I bought it anyway and it's much smaller: The REAL dimensions are 4" x 4.5" x 1.25". And it only weighs a few ounces.
This switchbox is exactly what I wanted: no software, just plug it in and it WORKS (how often does THAT happen?!?!) both with my iBook and my PC.
Looks real good, so far March 13, 2006

I've only had this product installed for a little over a week. Yet, the early results look real good. So, I am pleased. The product was VERY easy to install and get working right away. (I have it switching print jobs between various laptops running different operating systems; Mac OS-10.2.82, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Microsoft Windows 2000.) Although, in that there is no documentation, I can see some people possibly having trouble figuring out how to manually switch the ports by pressing the black button on the front of the device. The bottom line is - in my view and to no surprise, this being a dirt-simple device, all I did was set it and forget it.

I use this switch to share a printer with two computers. It is easy to set up, use, and has been trouble free. A very minor wish is that it would automatically find the computer that is turned on first. However, to use the manual switch is simple. Am I glad that I have it? Yes. Would I buy another one, absolutely!
