Review updated - VGA part flickers too much

Update after 6 months After a few months of use, the monitor connected to this adapter started to flicker several times a day. Now after 6 months it flickers quite often, about once every few minutes. And the flickering lasts 3 to 10 seconds. When the flickering got really annoying, I tested it on a few other laptops to make sure it wasn't just the laptops I was using that were causing the issue. The extra USB ports still work fine, but I didn't buy them to make 1 USB 2. Don't think about it for now as the product really looked like a 5* product. not much anymore (coupon not received for review either) ****** Original Review ***** Bought this to better switch between work laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T570) and school laptop (Dell Inspiron 15 5000) to be able. I have 2 monitors, a wired USB keyboard and a wired USB mouse. Before I got this I could only use one of my monitors with a school laptop as it only has one HDMI port and 3 USB ports (2 USB 3.0 ports - important for this product!). I can now use both monitors with both machines, and as an added bonus, I don't have to keep swapping out my keyboard and mouse separately since I have 3 connected to this adapter. One nice thing is that while the instructions say you need to install a driver before using it, both laptops recognized the mouse and keyboard via a dongle without installing a driver. After installing the driver and restarting the computer, I was able to use the monitor via the adapter. Make sure you plug it into a USB 3.0 port if you want full 1080p support. The driver is included in the device and is found via Explorer (basically a USB stick in addition to the adapter).
