does what it says . Very easy to use device.
I have a laptop and a desktop connected to the same Dell A960 all-in-one printer. The switch is manuall, but that is what i wanted. The important thing is that it allows all of the functions of my all-in-one to work.
Make sure you have USB cables.

Aten Technologies US401 4-Port USB Peripheral Sharing Switch Reviews
Excellent for use as a DSL switch between computers . I use this device as a switch for my DSL line between my two computers. There is no degradation in the up and down speeds and the DSL modem uses this switch as a automatic reboot between the two computers. Furthermore, you can use this switch as a safeguard to physically cut off the DSL modem from both computers by switching to one of the unoccupied USB locations. It is a simple, excellent convenience.

Aten Technologies US401 4-Port USB Peripheral Sharing Switch Opinions
Great little switch . Since neither of my 2 computers has an ethernet card I must use my dsl modem with the usb ports. After 3 years of manually switching cables between the computers this little switch was a godsend. It does the job perfectly. It does exactly what it is intended to do.

Love my shoe boots! . I had these shoe boots for several years, but my new dog chewed one up. I absolutely love them and get many compliments.
Cons Review
Bare bones USB 1.1 not for keyboard or mouse . Potential buyers beware!
This switch is for USB 1.1 only. It is not capable for switching keyboard or mouse USB connections, only other peripherials. The way switching works is analogous to unplugging the cable from one computer (losing all peripherials) and connecting to another (and having to go through the discovery process). I did expect a little more from a MSRP $60 product, but at bare minimum it must handle keyboard and mouse. It is going into the great useless USB junk pile...

Poor Choice As A Cheap KVM (-V) Solution . This switch only operates if the USB cable connected to port 1 is providing power. This means if you're trying to use the switch to share a peripheral (in my case, a USB hub with my mouse and keyboard connected) between two computers, the computer on port 1 must always be on. If this were redesigned to accept power from any one port (or to use an external power adapter), I might be able to recommend it. As it is, it's a bad choice for anyone who doesn't leave one of their computers on all the time. I'm returning my order.
Looks nice but its only usb 1.1 . I purchased this to share a usb drive between two computers. Unfortunatly this no where on the packaging materials does this say what usb specs it supports. I had to find out the hard way its only USB 1.1, so its pretty much useless junk since its way to slow, and way over priced. You can buy and have shipped usb 1.1 switching units for less than $10 on ebay. So why would anyone spend the MSRP of $59 on a unit like this. All around its not worth the money, and the manufacturer should have the guts to put the specs on there packaging materials. If they don't, then its not worth buying. I took mine back for a refund the next day.
