It don't work.
My experience was similar to what several others here have mentioned. The first day I hooked it up, it worked. The next day it did not. When I hit the button to switch computers I get unreliable results...usually it switches the video but not the mouse and keyboard. I have found that by flipping it about 4 times it will sync itself and I get control of the desired computer.
You might have to jiggle the remote switch plug a little before you get contact. The light on the remote switch...

You never know what you're gonna get!
With this product, you get to be surprised every time you sit down to the computer. You never know if it is going to switch between your two computers and, if it actually does, you are probably going to be looking at a screen in 800x600 video because it can't properly detect the video mode. Most of the time it just fails to recognize the other machine and you have to unplug everything and re-plug it in. It has a lot of cabling which basically just clutters up your cables without adding any va...

Excellent value but a bit slow
I bought this item to switch between my laptop and my home computer tower so that I didn't have to have two of everything on my desk. It has worked fine except that the switching time is greater than I expected. It's not instantaneous but about 5-7 seconds... this is a lot when you type as fast as I do.

Form over Function
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Looks nice, great idea to have the flip and not the entire component sitting on the desk.
Cons: Functionally inferior. Shutdown both computers and restarted both with neither getting mouse/kybrd. Had to disconnect flipper and USB connections before mouse/kybrd would work.
Other Thoughts: Once everything is working, all is fine. Flip delay is tolerable. However, shutt...

Great product - when it works
I saw a video review of the Flip on cnet and thought it was the greatest idea ever. I have a home business and often move between 4 or 5 computers, and it's an electronics snarl in my tiny office. So the Flip would allow me to share the monitor, mouse and keyboard for 2 computers at each desk. Cool!
It was easy to set up the Flip - the body of the thing is pretty chunky, but I have a big, multi-tiered desk suitable for hiding wires and connections. Connecting them with the Flip was easy and...

Does what it is intended to do, decent price
I have had this for a few weeks now, replacing an older KVM that did not support USB and that was losing the mouse control when I switched it to one of the PCs. Price after rebate was pretty competitive.<br><br>
It has worked fine for me. There is the 5 secs or so switching delay, but I am pretty sure that is an artifact of the way USB connections work - it would be the same if you manually moved the cables, as the newly connected PC has to recognize that these devices are now con...

So BAAAAD!
Could not be worse. I hate it. I use it flip 6 months. Also I use it only because at office of another is not available. That it has earned every times is necessary to climb under a desk, to take out all 2 USB a connector and to insert them back. It kills my second computer. When it happens the manager is compelled will not only replace it but also to buy a new computer.
If you like to climb often under a desk - buy not reflecting!

Works Great
This product works well and switches over quickly. Only negative is the cords are somewhat short, but then again I keep one of my computers in a closet and use extensions to reach my desk.
