Review on Belkin USB PERIPHERAL SWITCH F1U401 by Francis Vasquez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Another unhappy Mac customer

Second comment on Mac OS 10.4 incompatibility. I bought it to use a USB wireless keyboard and mouse set with a Mac and a PC, and despite what it says on the box, the Belkin $60 Switch doesn't work with Mac OS. The installation guide and user guide are an absolute joke — Belkin includes a Mac Installation Guide (a 2 x 2-inch, one-page, 12-step guide) with the 20-page PC guide. . Not only that, Belkin completely overlooks how to use the software after downloading it onto a Mac - see, THERE IS NO SWITCHING FUNCTION AFTER DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE TO A MAC. There is a hint to use "ALT+F11" but it doesn't get any response. It would be nice if Belkin would release software that actually works with this switch as advertised for Mac!

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Ease of maintenance
