Review on Selector Switcher One Button Swapping Keyboard External Components by Steve Hauck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but a bit annoying due to case design

After a couple of weeks the switch is working very well, switching printer, keyboard and webcam between three different computers. The only thing that bothers me is the poor ergonomics: the LEDs that indicate the active computer system are located at the bottom in tiny holes in the top of the case and aren't easy to see unless you're looking almost straight down you. Computer #3 is installed in all three attached photos. The first shows what the switch looks like from where I'm sitting - it's impossible to tell which channel is selected because there's no light visible. In the second photo, the view is almost "straight down", and the indicator is easily visible. The last one shows a bottom-up photo, and only there is it REALLY clearly visible. I realize this is fairly minor, but having to get up to check the selected channel is still a nuisance and could be mitigated by choosing a different LED or larger windows so they can be seen at an angle. It cost him a star; otherwise I am satisfied. It cost him a star; otherwise I am satisfied. It cost him a star; otherwise I am satisfied.
