    After ordering the Rybozen 4 port USB switch for $20, this is a dream. This switch worked immediately when connected, there is zero hesitation when switching between systems, and it works great with my Anker 4 port USB hub. The buttons give a solid feedback click, and the lights are handy to identify which system is selected, although they bleed into each other a bit if you're not looking straight on at the switch. This is a great middleground USB switch that's much better than the cheap-o's and works great if you don't video or lots of peripherals hooked up.

    The Rybozen lagged heavily in switching back and forth with the PC having to reinstall a driver each time for some reason, and one of the out ports was faulty. Also learned that in most cases, the USB-A to USB-A is out of spec and an electrical fire hazard, so that's fun.

    Spent more for this unit over the el cheapos because all the cheap ones use non-spec-conformant USB male A to A cables. And while that probably doesn't really matter - why would they do that? I took specification compliance as an indicator of quality, and so far this unit has performed flawlessly.

    I tried out some USB switches before and they were junk. Died after a few months. This thing is built well and does exactly what I want it to. I have a USB hub plugged into it and use it as keyboard and mouse switch.

    Tripp Lite told me via email that the warranty would be void if I used it this way, but I did it anyway and it has been solid. It has really nice switches and has worked perfectly. I use it with 3 different Mac minis right now. I'll be adding anther one soon.

    I use this little thing as a tiny KVM switch for solely my mouse and keyboard. For that specific use, it works perfectly with no issues. Neither of the computers it is attached to go into sleep/hibernation, so I have not tested that out (hopes are low, since that seems to never work with any switch device!).
