I use the Flip to connect one PC with Vista 64 and one PC with Windows 7 Ultimate to One Mouse, Keyboard, & HD widescreen monitor.
Easy set up, but not so easy if using instructions.
Best to use common sense.
Leave both PC's off. Attach Flip to both PC's.
Boot 1st PC, (the PC that short cord of Flip is
attached to), allow ample time for PC to "see"
Flip. Test keyboard and mouse. If all is OK;
press Flip remote button and yellow light indicator will turn green.
Now boot 2nd PC and follow same directions as for 1st PC.
Now switch between PC's at the touch of a button.
P.S. Hotkey switching software is available for free on line at the Belkin site).

I purchased this switch to share keyboard/monitor between a G4 and G5 having limited desk space. When the switch works it works fine; however it often fails to connect the keyboard and mouse to the correct system at startup. The most common failure is a "frozen" keyboard and mouse. I have to reconnect the keyboard cable or sometimes power the switch off and on to capture a connection.

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

    This would not work with my Win 7. A IST help desk at work could not get it to work. Worst of all, no one would help me. I called Staples and no help. Told me to call Belkin. No one there would help. I am really disatisfied with the product for my computer. Will not be buying Belkin products again.

            Has solved the cables-are-heavier-than-device problem of earlier KVMs I've used. Needs a spot of double-stick tape to keep it from sliding around so I stuck it to the base of my monitor. Voila'

              • Q:

                With this switch will I be able to access the computer that the switch is not on? Can I share files between computers or do I need a separate USB hub to do that ?

                  No, this item will not allow you to connect two monitors to one computer, it will allow you to connect two computers to one monitor. What you are looking for is a cable splitter, (VGA, HDMI, or DVI) unfortunately Staples.com does not carry one. I would suggest calling your local Staples store to check their stock.
