REVIEW BY: MBuck Reviewed  Mar 29, 2008
after owning a 4x4 Belkin (old 1.1 speeds), this unit worked as promised! a 4 input USB hub on the front end allows me to share 2 printers and 1 harddrive with another computer -- a 7 input hub on the computer side allows just that computer to have all of my other connections (Ipod cable, scanner, USB mouse, etc.) As the other reviewers noted, make sure to have the necessary cables AND keep in mind that not all devices will work (I couldn't get a self-powered WD Passport HDD to work)..... Worth every penny....

REVIEW BY: SSSS Reviewed  Oct 12, 2007
I have several of these, in different locations, home, office, shop, ranch. Computer #1 positions are desktops, and the #2 positions are used for my laptops. They work really well. If you need to hook up more than one peripheral, simply hook up a usb port hub, one or more, daisy chained. There is a slight 1 or 2 second delay when switching from computer 1 to 2, but that hasn't been a problem for me. I simply go to one of these, plug in a usb cable, push the switch and use any of the peripherals I choose. These are worth every penny I paid for them.

This great switch enabled me to hook two computers up to a USB hub to share USB devices such as printer, scanner, etc. Easily installed and used with no problems..

REVIEW BY: Viking Reviewed  Nov 18, 2005
very nice USB switch that has been working like a champ it's more like a 4.5 star product only thing that keeps it from a 5 *for me* is that there is a small 2ish second lag when switching between devices and you have to remember to get a few USB AtoB type cables if you don't already have them :)...out side of that it's a nice little device that alows me to work off of two computers with one keyboard and mouse...another thing that works well is that I use a few programs that require a dongle and so far have no problems switching while working with those programs...having the one exporting and switching back to the other for a little photoshop and then back again *just a little example :)*

What You Should Know
What Are BUS POWERED USB Devices?
USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a standard interface port, and to improve the plug-and-play features of PCs by allowing these devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer! Another convenient feature includes providing power (also known as Bus Power) to low-consumption devices without the need for an external power supply. So Bus Powered means the device is powered by the USB Port, and not an external power adaptor.

Bus Powered devices offer a lot of flexibility, particularly when used on laptops and other portable devices. However, you need to determine when “bus power” is best.

When is Bus Power best?
  • You have a desktop with ample USB ports, or

  • You have a laptop and you need to take your Bus Powered devices with you, or

  • You only use the device intermittently and want the simplicity of no external power adaptors, or

  • You want to keep desktop clutter to a minimum, and want to eliminate power cables.

The best example of a USB Bus Power devices are:  USB Thumb Drives, or Passport style USB Hard Drives.

Rules for best results with Bus Powered Devices:

  • Use a good quality USB Cable two feet or less in length.

  • Be sure to directly connect the device to your computer, instead of through a hub or other device - unless the USB Hub has its own power.

  • Make sure your laptop battery is fully charged.

Generally speaking, you do not want many Bus Power devices connected at once, especially on portable devices or laptops running on batteries. So consider unplugging unneeded devices if necessary.

Some devices can be powered both by an external adaptor or by Bus Power. As a general rule, you should use the external adaptor to power the device, except when you need to use it and external power is not available. However, higher-consumption devices, such as external optical media burners, and large hard drives, may work best with external power.
