5 out of 5 stars Works like a dream.......2007-12-13

Received this product in excellent condition. Was easy to install and has worked wonderfully -- allowing me to use a single printer from 2 PCs with no fuss.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent product.......2007-09-27

I have a printer that is being shared by 2 computers. I just plugged it in and now only have to press the button to print. No more unplugging/plugging cables. Since one of the computers is running Vista, was not sure if it would work properly, but it does. It's an easy to use, reliable solution.

5 out of 5 stars Straight-Forward, Good Product.......2007-09-12

I have a printer that I wanted to share with 2 computers. This switch works perfectly for the task. I simply plugged it in, and all I have to do is press the button to switch between the two computers. An easy to use, reliable, and inexpensive solution.

5 out of 5 stars USB Printer switch.......2007-08-17

My wife and I use our wireless laptops on a table in our dining room. With this switch we share a printer/copier/scanner. It works great. it automatically switches to the laptop that is powered up, or if they are both on we just push the button on the switch and the printer switches to the opposite unit. A "ding dong" acknowledge signal sounds on one laptop, then the other, as it switches from one to the other. (a function of the laptop when connecting or disconnecting the USB port.)

I'm using this switch for a Canon Multipass C755 and it works exactly as advertised.

Aten Technologies 4 Port USB Peripheral Sharing Switch

Product Description

With the development of the US-401 4 Port USB Switch, ATEN has achieved a USB technological breakthrough - the ability for four PCs to share a single USB device. Access to the USB device is on a one-at-a-time basis; a pushbutton switch located on the top of the unit is all that it takes to select which PC has the active connection.

1 out of 5 stars Looks nice, but its only usb 1.1.......2007-12-22

I purchased this to share a usb drive between two computers. Unfortunatly this no where on the packaging materials does this say what usb specs it supports. I had to find out the hard way its only USB 1.1, so its pretty much useless junk since its way to slow, and way over priced. You can buy and have shipped usb 1.1 switching units for less than $10 on ebay. So why would anyone spend the MSRP of $59 on a unit like this. All around its not worth the money, and the manufacturer should have the guts to put the specs on there packaging materials. If they don't, then its not worth buying. I took mine back for a refund the next day.

5 out of 5 stars Great little switch.......2007-11-07

Since neither of my 2 computers has an ethernet card I must use my dsl modem with the usb ports. After 3 years of manually switching cables between the computers this little switch was a godsend. It does the job perfectly. It does exactly what it is intended to do.

5 out of 5 stars Love my shoe boots!.......2007-10-21

I had these shoe boots for several years, but my new dog chewed one up. I absolutely love them and get many compliments.

1 out of 5 stars Poor Choice As A Cheap KVM (-V) Solution.......2006-10-19

This switch only operates if the USB cable connected to port 1 is providing power. This means if you're trying to use the switch to share a peripheral (in my case, a USB hub with my mouse and keyboard connected) between two computers, the computer on port 1 must always be on. If this were redesigned to accept power from any one port (or to use an external power adapter), I might be able to recommend it. As it is, it's a bad choice for anyone who doesn't leave one of their computers on all the time. I'm returning my order.

5 out of 5 stars does what it says.......2006-03-25

Very easy to use device.
I have a laptop and a desktop connected to the same Dell A960 all-in-one printer. The switch is manuall, but that is what i wanted. The important thing is that it allows all of the functions of my all-in-one to work.
Make sure you have USB cables.

    5 out of 5 stars 4-Port USB Switch.......2006-12-26

    The product works as advertised. I would have rather had a manual switch than a KVM style "scroll lock-scroll lock" key press to perform the switching. This device let me share a printer between multiple computers without setting up a complicated home network.

    4 out of 5 stars Works with PC's, not Macs.......2004-08-24

    I have two printers with a USB 2.0 interface. I have a PC, and I just added a G5 Mac. I wanted a way of sharing the printers and not losing speed by having to go down to a USB 1.1 print server solution.

    This would have worked great if I only had PC's in my environment. It doesn't work with Mac. However, the 2-port version of this product, does work with Mac (go figure). In case you want the ASIN for the 2-port version: B0002JUHS4.

    The product manual for this product is not available in electronic format; not even from the Cables-To-Go website.

Unfortunately, Apple has a tendency to provide keyboards that are just a hair shy from perfection. First Apple introduced the awkward sub-sized keyboard for the iMac, and then the Apple Pro Keyboard without the adored Power key.But fret no more! Now Mac users everywhere can rejoice by adding onCue Start-Up Key to any USB enabled Macintosh computer! Specially designed to attach to the Apple Pro Keyboard, the onCue can be attached as a dongle to practically any USB keyboard.
