Decent switch
I was looking for a simple monitor A-B switch to connect a Mac and a PC to the same monitor, but settled on this item instead after reading about iffy connections with mechanical switches. On the Belkin Flip, the switch and video routing mechanisms draw power from the PS/2 keyboard port, so be aware, if you're planning to use this as a monitor-only switch, at least one of the keyboard connectors needs to be connected and powered up at all times or no video signal will get through. In my case, ...

Simple and Effective, with undocumented convenience
You may also toggle machines using the keyboard instead of the (cute but loud) clicker remote.
* Double-tap the Scroll-Lock key.
* The base and remote will flash for about 2 seconds.
* While flashing, press 1 or 2.
* 1 selects the green/left machine, 2 selects the yellow/right machine.
If you've had issues with other KVMs, especially USB KVMs, I recommend you get this KVM with USB-to-PS/2 converter dongles for the end of your USB keyboard and USB mouse. ...

Up and running in less than 5 minutes
I need easy access to two computers, but did not want to waste desk space by having two monitors. The Belkin Flip is very easy to hook-up. It's working great.

Ghosting is a problem
I have been using this flip for 3 months. At first it ghosted when I flipped to my laptop. The ghosting wasn't that bad (ghosting, per the tech support guy at Belkin is minor shimmering of everything on the monitor...). Anyway I have put up with it for the convenience of having one keyboard and mouse. Lately however the ghosting has turned into barely legible and has created other strange problems. I would like my money back from Belkin but doubt that will happen. They are really big on just tra...

Simple and Convenient
Cannot get easier. Just connect the wires and toggle computers using the cute little button. The price was right and i am glad i bought this item.

I am dumbfounded by postive reviews for the Flip Switch
The Belkin Flip Switch (for all its models) are baddly designed. Most units will fail to work within a couple of months and there is no customer service. I wonder if the people that gave the Flip Switch a postive review would do so after a couple of months?
Just read the reviews for the other models (no need me to add thing more) - you would think this is the worst product ever made.
I tried to contack Belkin with no results. Their website says to email a specific address ...

Good enough
I think it works quite well for the purpose, although I haven't been able to make the short cut keys work actually. I showed to a friend and he bought it too.
The other issue that I am not able to solve is that sometimes the Screen configuration changes from time to time having to change it by my self to the right one.
However, I find myself satisfied with it, for it let's me work with both of my computers at the same time, and the only think I have to do is just 'Click'...Belkin F1DG...

Compact and reliable
Works fine with my Logitech wireless set but it's neccesary to switch the KVM before turning the computer on. I guess the keyboard-mouse emulation doesn't works very well. One of the set of cables is a little bit short.
