Looks good but ugly and broken (partly my fault)

It definitely looks and feels good. It basically works, but tries to be too clever: if it can't see a computer connected to one of the inputs, it switches to the other. Sounds good, except: Usually in the morning to wake my computer from sleep I just press a few keys on the keyboard, but if you have the switch set to Laptop 1 and want to wake Laptop 2 (which is sleeping), you can use the Do not press button on switch to switch to laptop 2, as laptop 2 is not recognized as it is sleeping. I got around this because I have a Bluetooth mouse, but that was just a happy coincidence for me, it would be annoying for most people. Also, it broke - it was my fault: I plugged in a USB hub to expand it and powered that hub with the wrong power supply. I fried this USB hub but it was very cheap so I wasn't expecting much. It also toasted that switch. Теперь я бы сказал, что это была на 100% моя вина, но это и USB-камера были единственным, что сгорело - все остальные мои USB-периферийные устройства были в порядке, так что я предполагаю, что качество внутренней сборки не самое лучшее ( the same thing). fits my USB camera). I wouldn't let that stop me from recommending this switch to anyone - my biggest gripe is the first issue I mentioned when I was trying to be "too "smart".

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great
