Great value for the money paid.......2007-01-03
I think this is a very nice switch box, when configuring computers this is a must.
Works ok after some fiddling.......2006-12-19
Initial installation worked fine, both mouse and display were switched w/o any problem, but my Compaq Desktop keyboard was not recognized by my laptop after switching. Upgrading the laptop BIOS and installing correct keyboard drivers fixed this issue.
It's strange that the product documentation does not contain information about hot key support: pressing Scroll Lock 4 times in a row will switch - an important undocumented feature. Thanks to "JustMe" for pointing this out!
The other thing I don't like is the Audio support cables: If I plugin the USB cable into the back of my laptop docking station, the audio cables are not long enough to reach the front, where audio ports are located. Fortunately, audio support is only a minor requirement for me.
Switching time for me is about 3 seconds, which is kind of what I expected to get.
Overall, 3 stars ...
Works Fine For Me..........2006-12-11
I have mine hooked up using only one of the usb ports for my Microsoft Wireless Desktop (Wireless Comfort Keboard 1.0A & Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0).
I use it to switch from my Dell Dimension Desktop to my HP TC1100 Tablet in a Docking Station that I use spanning both monitors.
Audio & Monitor switching works fine using the hardware switch or the software switch. USB 1.0 fine for keyboard & mouse.
Does everything I expected, using my wireless keyboard & mouse!
Typical Belkin Junk.......2006-08-07
I wasted a couple hours of life on this JUNK.
Decides for itself when you want to change inputs.
If you push the button, 50% of time it fails to correctly hold new signal after user button press, swapping you back to other machine. The other half of the time it never finds the new signal and swaps you back to the first machine.
Junk - Continuously auto-switches........2006-07-28
This is an absolute P.O.S.
As someopne else said, it auto-switches everytime you reboot a machine, and apparently any other time the O/S or BIOS decides to re-initialise the USB ports. What it does is switch back over to the other input when you reboot the machine you're working on.
Even worse than that... it won't stay selected on a machine if that machine hasn't initialised its USB ports properly, e.g.:
I am working on a dead machine here which hasn't managed to get its USB drivers up and running properly yet (it's midway through the XP repair/setup), so I'm only running video through the KVM and have a ps/2 keyboard attached to the machine. This would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that after about 5 seconds this junk KVM decides to switch back to my main machine. I do have the KVM's USB cable (for mouse/keyboard) plugged into the machine as well, but until XP setup installs the USB drivers and 'connects', this thing will continue to keep switching away from the machine I'm working on.
I had much better luck just using an extra keyboard/mouse and the input-selector on my Monitor.
100% JUNK.
If you aren't rebooting computers regularly, and you can put up with the above, then there is the other problem of the delay. As another writer said, there is a delay of around 5 seconds when you switch. This is because the device basically performs a USB connect / disconnect. This means you also get the "dum daa" USB noise (the sound that Windows XP makes whenever you plug-in a USB device). The only thing is, you get it twice. Once for the 'virtual' mouse and once for the 'virtual' keyboard.
Pressing the select button on the top isn't exactly responsive either. Sometimes you have to press a few times, or give up and wait 10 seconds and try again. Or unplug the damn thing from all USB ports and try again. Or just unplug it and throw it away.
I suppose it has to be 1 star. There's no option for zero-stars.

Do Not Buy This Mount for 58" Panasonic!.......2007-12-26
After many hours of research, I selected the recently released OmniMount low-profile ULPT-X wall bracket for my new Panasonic TH58PZ700u plasma set. A major reason for spending $240 was the 140+ lbs weight of the plasma unit and this mount's ability to bolt onto three (3) wall studs instead of the typical two.
Lo and behold, installation day came and the installers discovered the Omni wouldn't fit with the curved bottom section of the Panasonic 58" plasma - and they were right. Omni included some spacers to make up the 2"-3" gap, but who wants to mount that much weight with multiple spacers and extra-long bolts as the weakest link? Not me. And even if I went that route I would end-up with a set 7"-8" from the wall - not exactly what I had in mind when ordering a low-profile wall bracket. So I called "Customer Service" at OmniMount and asked why that mount was listed with that particular plasma set (one of the more popular units being sold at this time).
The response? "Well, we hardly can be expected to test all of our brackets with every plasma model that comes out every month." Uh, but didn't you guys list your mount as working with that plasma? "Oh - ok, I'll tell'em to remove it from the list."
Now THERE'S a well-trained customer server rep destined for a quick climb up the corporate ladder - perhaps at the U.N. or our overseas Diplomat Corps? By the way, as of today's date, it's still listed and I'm sure it won't be removed since this rep doesn't have the stroke to order toilet tissue.
e-Bay here we come. 50 cents on the dollar, anyone?
Good luck - hope your set fits this mount. Actually, not luck - what you really need with OmniMount is Faith. Too bad Amazon won't let me give them zero stars...

Customer Reviews:
Good case for a questionable gps unit.......2007-12-01
This case is good, and it will protect my Garmin Vista for years to come....that's because I won't be using the damn thing. It's way too involved and complicated, and the manual is as clear as mud.
Fits Great.......2007-11-17
Purchased this carring case at the same time I got the eTrex GPS. Fits Great and allows access to all the buttons and controls. A must have item .
Good Product.......2007-11-13
What can I say, other than it fits snug, stays closed and it readable through the plastic cover. Good product.
Neat and effective.......2007-11-10
The carry case is neat and effective way to use a GPS - better than the belt clip. Also protects the GPS which is useful as in mountain use my previous GPS had got quite badly scratched while rock scrambling and climbing.
Clear vinyl lens is easily scratched.......2007-11-06
The case fits my GPS perfectly and is very comfortable to carry on. The clip is strong and so far there is no sign of failure. The only disappointment is that the clear vinyl lens is easily scratched and looses its transparency - so bad that you have to take out the GPS to read comfortably - which is a drawback when you're driving. Besides this, the rest is top quality and would buy another one.
