Digital camera reviews of Kensington ShareCentral 5 for USB Device Sharing (K33901US)
Digital camera Review: Not very useful
Summary: 1 Stars
I was excited that I might be able to share my wireless keyboard and mouse, TV tuner, and other USB devices between my two laptops. However, this device did not live up to my expectations. It works, but seemingly only for select devices. Apparently most of the USB devices that I use fall into the category of always transferring data, and the manual says that if a device is still transferring data when you try to switch, it won't switch (or something to that effect). I think this is to avoid data loss if you try to switch a USB disk drive that is still transferring data. But, because of this, for me this device turned out to be an expensive paper weight. Fortunately, it was on sale when I bought it.
