I bought this ShareCentral 2 to share a keyboard and mouse between two computers. In short, the device delivers. You plug everything in and it works, without need to install any software. Switching control between computers is easy, just press a button on top of the device.
I have purchased a couple devices from Belkin and others in the last few years that promised USB switching capability, but none of them worked all that well, so I'm happy to see something finally accomplish this.
Note that, as the other reviewer indicates, the documentation is pretty worthless and there is nothing more detailed online. All it really includes is a setup diagram. The diagram is sufficient to connect everything, but includes a step where you place the included CD in your computer's drive. And then you do nothing with that CD and do not need--what? Just ignore the CD and you'll be fine.
FYI, Dealtree has been dumping these for about $8 shipped on their eBay store all last month, many left unsold (just check the completed listings). And I see another one posted only today, so expect more. Says they're "factory sealed, new".
If this deal was Amazon or Newegg, I'd probably go w/ them, but I don't see Buy.com being all that much more reliable than DT, certainly not enough to warrant double the price.
