Digital camera Review: Belkin F1U200 4-Port USB Auto Switchbox (4 PCs to 1 Device)
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this device to hook two computers to one printer using two different operating systems. Works perfect. Simple setup, straight forward use. The lights are clear and easy to read. My only complaint is the additional cables I had to buy, they only send one extra cable. I think they should give you four since you can add up to four devices. The price was good for what I got. I would recommend this for even novice users of computers.Digital camera Review: Belkin F1U200 Auto Switchbox Review Feb. 2006

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!Digital camera Review: Belkin USB Switch
Summary: 3 Stars
This switch works, but ... the user must press one key multiple times to switch to the desired device, and ... the switch has a nasty habit of skipping over one or more ports while pushing the button (thus missing the one you want), and ... since you may have to pass through 3 USB ports to get to the one you want - it can confuse PC's or ancillary devices.
I think this would have been a better switch if it allowed to just press 1 of 4 buttons, thus selecting the USB port you want, rather than sequentially stepping through all ports to get to the one you want.
But, as I said, it works.
Digital camera Review: Great Choice
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Looks real good, so far
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
