This review is from: Aluratek 2-Port USB 2.0 Auto Sharing SwitchThe device was very easy to set up and works great. I went to Office Depot and they tried to sell me a whole set up for about $100, telling me there really wasn't any other way to go, which didn't sound right. So I looked online and found this simple little device. Very inexpensive, and it took only a few minutes from opening the package to printing from both computers like I wanted to. I also installed the cd to use the auto-sensing feature so I never have to mess with it. Great device at a great price....
This review is from: Aluratek 2-Port USB 2.0 Auto Sharing SwitchGreat little switch! Works in manual mode right out of the box. No software required and no AC adaptor required. I use this switch to share a printer between my desktop PC and a MacBook. The desktop is plugged into slot one and slot two remains available (with a standby USB cable) for quick MacBook hookups. All I have to do is press the Select button on the switch to toggle between the two computers. Comes with two USB 2.0 A-B cables (one 6 ft, and one 3 ft). You can position the switch vertically (using the cradle shown in the pictures) or horizontally without the cradle. It's pretty light, so the USB cables tend to drag it around depending on what's connected and the position of your cables. Very satisfied!...
This review is from: Aluratek 2-Port USB 2.0 Auto Sharing SwitchThe Aluratek port works erratically. Manually switching between two computers does not always work properly, and sometimes I just unplug the cord from the computer that I can't switch to and just replug it directly into the printer. The auto switching does not work at all, so I'm not sure what that "auto" light means. Also, upon seeing the photo of the Aluratek on Amazon's request for me to write this review, I now realize that a stand was supposed to have come with this. After I finish this review, I'm writing Amazon to see why I did not receive the stand. So,in summary,the switch works about 75% of the time, the other 25% I have to unplug and replug as described above. My two computers are an older Dell and Apple....
