Summary: Great, as long as you NEVER leave your chair
Comment: Nice idea, bad implementation. Installed the software drivers, crawled around behind my desk to set it all up, customized the nifty magnetic buttons, and was happy for a while.
Then I discovered the tragic flaw of this device - you can't wake your PC back up with the keyboard or mouse. Often, you can't even switch the control from one pc back to the original to jumpstart the USB control. Every time I'd want to get going in the morning or after lunch, I'd have to unplug the USB cables, wait, plug it back in, maybe swap the controls, and then I could actually start working.
If that's the routine you're after, save the money and just swap all your devices manually, it's basically the same thing.

Summary: Works as advertised (Quite Well!)
Comment: I'm using a Sharecentral 5 mainly to share a keyboard and mouse between a PC and an iMac. Works just fine (no rebooting nonsense that other reviewer referred to). Also sharing a laser printer between machines and the device automatically switches between the two. I am very pleased (so far, so good!)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Completely Useless
Comment: Do not waste your money on this product, it is completely useless. It ostensibly allows you to use USB devices on two computers with the simple flick of a switch- it does no such thing. In order to switch a device (keyboard, mouse, external hard drive)you must restart your computer- the switches on the product do nothing. I have only been able to get it to work by physically unpluggin the cables and plugging them back in (both the cable to the computer and the cable to the USB device). As a result, I'm actually unplugging and replugging twice as many cables as I would have to if I'd never wasted 60 bucks on this paperweight.
