Belkin 2x1 USB Peripheral Switch

Product Description

The Belkin 2x1 USB Peripheral Switch (the Switch) gives multiple computers access to a single USB 1.1-compliant device - such as a printer, camera, scanner, or an external storage device. It offers a convenient design and easy-to-use switching software that gives you immediate access to your USB device. Once connected, your device stays available to all connected computers, eliminating the need for you to unplug and reconnect it to another computer.

Doesn't work! .......2007-02-17

This is a software-controlled device, does not have any method to switch manually (as you might expect,) and does not come with any cables.

The problem is that the device simply doesn't work: I have tried belkin's software, on both windows xp sp2, and mac os x 10.4. The device does not switch between port one and two--ever, it is stuck on port one.

Save your money and buy something else, this is a bad deal.

No customer support, broken product.......2007-01-19

I bought this thing to act as a bottom-of-the-barrel KVM switch for a USB keyboard and mouse. Yes, the thing only has one output, but let me continue: I was able to hook this up to a powered USB 2.0 hub (in this case my monitor), and have it output everything on that hub to a PC and a Macbook.

In theory this should have worked, and indeed it was able to output to one computer correctly (the 1st output). However, either a hardware or software problem caused the second output to never be switched to (using a key combination). For a while I simply kept this on my desk, swapping the 2 USB outputs to act as a switch. I tried it as a conventional device as well, and never got the software to switch there either.

I contacted Belkin about this, was given a "sorry our customer service is overwhelmed" message, this about 6 months ago. I haven't heard from them yet, and never got an RMA either.

In short, this product was broken, and Belkin's support is nonexistent. Buyer beware.

Printer Switch.......2006-11-04

A Low Cost alternative to Wireless Switching. This Printer share device works exactly as designed. Flawless, quick switch from one computer to another. Easy to install the software on both computers, plug in the cables to your usb ports, and "presto"! works Great. Only bad part is cables are not provided :~(

Works great!.......2006-07-31

Excellent. It works great and is simple to use. I use it with a multi-function printer/scanner (HP PSC 1315xi) and I have no problem either printing or scanning from either PC.

Disappointment........2006-06-18

Be warned - Two things not listed on the item specifications and packaging (but is stated on Belkin Webpage)...Not compatible with OS10.3.x and DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTI-FUNTION PRINTERS!

Disappointed.......2006-03-17

While this product seemed to work with Windows 2000, It did not work consistently with the Windows XP that was on my laptop. As a result of all the finger pointing between HP, Microsoft, and Belkin techies (most somewhere in India) I abandoned my efforts to parrallel a desktop and a laptop into the new HP 1020 printer. I now have to switch input cables manually for print jobs. Very disappointed.
Returned unit for full credit - no questions asked. (The only good part of the transaction)

multifunction printer users beware.......2005-08-17

compusa salesman handed me the 2x1 switch after I told him that my printer is a multifunction, saying it was compatible. guess what - it is NOT. the one time I didn't keep the packaging - they won't take it back. the unit actually works fine as long as I manually switch computer cables. which defeats the whole point of a switcher.

doesn't come with a cable.......2004-05-13

I expected it would come with a cable to hook up to the USB device, but it doesn't. So I am ordering a third cable....

HW ok, user interface under Mac OS X is poor.......2003-12-30

In short it works, however ... the software under Mac OS X is very poor. To switch between the computers sharing the USB peripheral you need to have the software running, it uses space in your Dock and you still have to use a hot-key sequence. There is no menu option in the user interface to do the switch, and no help menu. In fact the entire user interface is quite unprofessional, the "About" menu is "About Hello" ???, which brings up a window with hello, hello, hello .. They don't even provide the manual or a README on the CD.

It works.......2003-10-11

Something went right today. Hooked it up and it worked. They also sell 4 port to one devise model too.

properly tested.......2003-08-20

This is an awesome Reciever. The person who rated this with only two stars has no idea how to test a reciever of this caliber. I used a 7.1 channel Cambridge Soundworks speaker system to test this monster(T500's), also compaired it against a real reciever(Harmon/Kardon 525) and it did more than advertise. The seven seperate powered channels alone speak for themselves(which no other company makes).

THIS SYSTEM KICKS ...!!!.......2003-08-09

This is Onkyo's best product for the price and it doesn't disapoint! THX only gives certification to the best built recievers which usually cost serveral thousands of dollars. I have this one and love it. In order to maximize the benefit of this system you have to hook up a decent speaker system. I used Bose direct/reflect system and makes for a 'theater like' experience. This unit is worth every cent!!

blah.......2003-07-10

Did a side-by-side comparison at home with my old Yamaha DSP-A1 (which is Dolby Pro-Logic only) and I honestly didn't hear any improvement over the Yamaha after about a week of watching THX certified DVDs on a Sony Elite player with very good Paradigm speakers (7 speaker configuration for Onkyo, 5 for Yamaha). Actually I preferred the Yamaha which had a warmer and richer sound. The Onkyo is going back to Circuit City this week.

Doesn't work in my Epson c60.......2005-12-07

I just tried to install this cartridge in my printer and it doesn't even recognize it. Fortunately the cartridges were cheap enough, but you would think they would work!

Expect to Replace Cartridge Often.......2005-10-06

If you own an Epson Stylus C60, you will become acquainted with this cartridge. These can be used inastead of the more expensive Epson brand. The great advantage with these over the Epson brand, then, is the price, and the fact that they can bought more economically in a twin pack.

The features claimed by the company are accurate in my experience. It installs easily, it is smudge free, and it dries quickly. There is no need to get into the details about those features.

The printer is intended for low-level printing needs, and is meant to be easy to use. It is.

The downside of an entry-level color printer is that the cartridges are used up quickly. Epson might be bound by engineering, that only a limited amount of ink could be secured inside of a limited size cartridge. It could be they held back. I do not know. What you should be aware of is that, no matter what the reason is, you should have plenty of the black cartridges on hand.

This is not ink for a printer meant for small businesses, including home offices. This is for the computer user who rarely prints, but like to print in color, who does not mind waiting while the cartridge hits the page.

Overall I am happy with this purchase. This cartridge works no differently then the Epson cartridge but costs significantly less. From a print quality standpoint, I cannot distinguish between the two. There were no adverse effects to my printer using this cartridge. So why pay more for comparable?

Rhinotek ink.......2002-09-25

In my Epson C60 printer this ink was terrible. It requires head cleaning almost daily, usually requiring running the head cleaning utility 3-5 times. Don't buy it.
