Good enough.......2007-05-16

I think it works quite well for the purpose, although I haven't been able to make the short cut keys work actually. I showed to a friend and he bought it too.
The other issue that I am not able to solve is that sometimes the Screen configuration changes from time to time having to change it by my self to the right one.
However, I find myself satisfied with it, for it let's me work with both of my computers at the same time, and the only think I have to do is just 'Click'...Belkin F1DG102U Flip 2-Port KVM Switch with Audio Support (USB Connection)

Ghosting is a problem.......2007-05-01

I have been using this flip for 3 months. At first it ghosted when I flipped to my laptop. The ghosting wasn't that bad (ghosting, per the tech support guy at Belkin is minor shimmering of everything on the monitor...). Anyway I have put up with it for the convenience of having one keyboard and mouse. Lately however the ghosting has turned into barely legible and has created other strange problems. I would like my money back from Belkin but doubt that will happen. They are really big on just trading out a "defective" product regarless if it is defective design. Anyway that is the short condensed version of my flip story.

Works great.......2007-03-20

Just what I needed to switch back and forth from my kids 98 pc and my xp pc. Worked right away, no issues.

Compact and reliable.......2007-03-14

Works fine with my Logitech wireless set but it's neccesary to switch the KVM before turning the computer on. I guess the keyboard-mouse emulation doesn't works very well. One of the set of cables is a little bit short.

Decent switch.......2007-01-24

I was looking for a simple monitor A-B switch to connect a Mac and a PC to the same monitor, but settled on this item instead after reading about iffy connections with mechanical switches. On the Belkin Flip, the switch and video routing mechanisms draw power from the PS/2 keyboard port, so be aware, if you're planning to use this as a monitor-only switch, at least one of the keyboard connectors needs to be connected and powered up at all times or no video signal will get through. In my case, I also had to buy a USB-to-PS/2 adapter (another $25 or so at CompUSA, cheaper elsewhere) to drive power from the Macintosh side. Once properly connected to keyboard ports on both computers, the switch has functioned flawlessly for me.
