Digital camera reviews of Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM Switch with Remote F1DG102D
Digital camera Review: More than it appears
Summary: 3 Stars
We ended up returning the Flip because we didn't need it. Be aware that the cable runs on this device are long and thick. This is fine of you have two computers located some distance from each other. If your two computers are right next to each other, you'll have a pile of extra cable to tie up or hide.Digital camera Review: Not durable

I bought this KVM switch on September 10, 2008 and has been plugged in since its arrival to my mac pro and macbook pro. I worked pretty well except for some flickering of the screen that occurred once or twice in a day. I continued to use it until it completely went dead on Jan 2, 2009. Considering the cost of the device, I am disappointed with the longevity. The only advice that I would have for future buyers would be to turn their KVM off after use (which is a pain if you have the power conditioner under the desk like most people) and not leave it on all the time.
Service at belkin has been poor. Tech support said the item is out of stock and wanted me to call cust service... I am not sure when this will be replaced.
Digital camera Review: Not very useful
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had my flip for less than a year, I share a 23" display, macally keyboard, and logitech mouse between a MacBook Pro and 5 yr old G5. Every third or fourth flip to the G5 causes the usb devices to crash - keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, if I try to shutdown the computer gets to the end of the process and hangs. So, I have to hard restart the computer. Similar issues happen on the MacBook Pro - but much less frequently.Digital camera Review: Not worth it

I spent some time looking for one of these, and after some time, and patience, I found one. Spent some $$$ for one, and after about 30 minutes of re-wiring, and looping, and connecting, I find that the switch doesn't work. I hooked it up to connect my Windows XP machine and my Windows 7 machine, and apparently, can't get video on either. My suggestion? A monitor, keyboard, and mouse for each machine.
Digital camera Review: Occasional monitor flickers and visual corruption
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted to switch the input to my 23" monitor between my 24" iMac and my macbook pro. I liked the remote and the switch was able to toggle between the two inputs as expected. However, my 23" monitor would occasionally flicker or display colored lines on the screen. The monitor issues bothered me enough for me to return it.
