Good value for money. Works as promised.

As advertised. I have a 23" DELL touchscreen and a few USB peripherals that I share between 3 computers. They all work fine for the most part. I had some trouble getting my HP printer to work when connected via USB through a switch, but I just connected it to Wi-Fi and moved it around. I didn't fix it properly and had other issues connecting to my printer so I'm not sure if the switch had anything to do with it. The hotkeys work, but I have a feeling that this could be because I have a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse (with a unifying receiver) and the manufacturer has stated that it's not compatible with the wireless keyboard/mouse. Hotkey issue, my wireless keyboard and mouse are working fine. I'd be happier if it was USB 3.0, if I could get hotkeys to work, and if it looked a little cooler. Otherwise I found it a good switch, no problem.
