Works great, no software, just plug and play. Using it to share an All in One printer between two computers. About two second switching delay that other reviewers have mentioned. The two second switching delay comes from circuit switching or soft switching. from Compusa.com This particular device doesn't come with any cables or software. Just plug in everything and it works great. You press a button on the device to switch between computers; only takes a couple of seconds to make the switch active. I am very pleased with this device. from Amazon.com We use this to share a Saitek II keyboard and a Logitech G7 mouse between two laptops (Macbook Pros). The only downside is that it will wake up a sleeping machine when switching. Otherwise, great little product. from Amazon.com I purchased this switch to work with USB receiver for a Bluetooth headset that I got with my copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software. I have a laptop and a desktop computer, and work on both of them during the day. from Amazon.com This is just what I needed for my boss. He has two laptops but one printer. He can easily switch the printer from the older laptop to the new one with ease. from Amazon.com I bought this switch because I share one printer with my desk top computer and my lap top computer. There was a little mix-up in getting it here, but Amazon quickly re-ordered for me and the switch arrived on time. from Amazon.com I have a monitor with multiple inputs so I only needed to switch my mouse/keyboard combo. This is a great inexpensive way to share 2 computers. from Amazon.com I have two computers set up side by side in my home with only one printer. This USB switch did the trick. It was inexpensive, easy to set up, and easy to use. from Amazon.com I purchased the Manual USB Switch approximately three weeks ago. It was much less expensive than I could find locally, and is working fine. from Amazon.com Yes, I had to purchase a special USB to parallel converter cable for this to work. My newer printer, an HP Photosmart 7550, which already used a USB port worked right away. I now have 3 of these switches to handle my Lexmark X5150 and the two printers stated above. These work like a charm and I should be able to get a couple of more years out of these printers. from Amazon.com
