Blocks the USB port very well

I have a lab with a lot of computers. I don't want users to bring flash drives and possibly infect computers with viruses. I bought these with a set of keys and they are great!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Almost never

Average performance, expensive removal tool

USB port blocker. It blocks USB ports. I only gave it three stars because it's very easy to get around with a regular paperclip and the removal tool itself is overpriced. There are better options, but this will do for most.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Some issues

Does what it says on the tin

Given enough time and inclination you can pull them out - they're not infallible, but used to block accidental or relatively safe USB access, they're winners. You can mix and match, just make sure you have the right key to remove them or you're in for an escalation day.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Useful item to prevent foreign devices from being plugged in

We use this as an extra layer of PCI compliance. This prevents the USB stick or mobile phone from being connected. We have 2 computers and sometimes users don't see the difference and tend to connect their devices to the wrong computer. By installing on the front USB ports, they no longer connect their devices to the wrong computer. It's a retention device and with enough force you can pull it out with a tool.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required

I love the product but would love it even more if .

I bought them with a blue key only to realize I had overlooked that the color of the key only works with a port blocker of the same colour. I missed that, but since you can remove them with tweezers (port blocker, not port blocker), it seems nonsensical. Now I have to buy another key. Maybe that's the point. Love the product but would love it even more if it wasn't so easy to remove with tweezers. It prevents people from connecting their phones to a PC, but I don't know anything about privacy…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
