It works as described

The item works well, switching from my MacBook Pro to my IBM Thinkpad so that I can use my IBM F122 and L-Trac with either computer. Very helpful.

Works flawlessly

More convenient than repeatedly pulling the USB cables from one computer into another. One wish: that the LEDs were dimmer or could be turned off.

Does it work with LED keyboards and LED mice? I have one switch that I cannot use because it cannot power my mouse and keyboard.
Asked by: Dawn
I use a Logitech G300s mouse which has a built in light show. It works just fine with this switch. In fact, the lights are helpful when I am switching from one computer to the other. The lights on the mouse will go off when I hit the switch, and then come back on again when it is enabled by the other computer so I know it's ready to use. My keyboard is just a washable Kensington so I don't know if there is any issue when multiple lighted devices are used. If you get it, be sure to put the computer you use the most on the first port. It will always default to port 1 so you only need use the switch when you need to go to your secondary machine.
