Comments about Belkin Flip 2-Port KVM Switch with Remote (USB):

1. Connecting to both computers was easy enough but I found the pin that connects the push button switch to the unit occasionally did not make full contact.
2. Don't know if these are a computer setup issues but one computer's display had incorrect hues plus when switching between computers kept getting annoying "found new hardware" message.

The remote switch plug needs to really be jammed into the unit itself to function. Otherwise a good product overall.
