Use One Full-Sized Monitor and Keyboard to Access Both Your Laptop and Computer with Belkin’s Flip

Flip Helps Relieve Laptop Users from Small Displays and Cramped Keyboards While Saving Valuable Desktop Space

Belkin’s new Flip lets you share one monitor, keyboard, and mouse between two computers, allowing business professionals to now bring home their work laptop and easily plug it into their home setup. By simply pressing a small, stylish remote, you can easily switch from one computer to the next. The remote stays on your desk while the base and cables remain hidden for a cleaner desktop. Flip will ship in North America in early April.

Flip, PS/2 with Audio (F1DG102P) - $59.99Flip, USB with Audio (F1DG102U) - $59.99Flip, PS/2 (F1DF102P) - $49.99

According to a Forrester Research Report in February 2005, approximately 73% of laptop owners owned at least two computers. With two computers, people are seeking methods to keep their desktops free of extra peripherals and cables. They also want a more comfortable way to use their work laptop when they bring it home. Flip solves both problems by giving access to both computers without the added peripheral bulk and by enabling connection of your laptop to your home computer devices easily.

By allowing you to connect your old and new home computers, you can easily access files and programs using the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Flip also offers the added feature of letting you share one set of speakers between computers(a). Flip fully supports any combination of PC and Mac(R) desktop and notebook computers for use in any home or work environment. Visit http://www.belkin.com/flip for more information.

    Belkin's Flip rocks! I'm a total iddiot and this was a brainless install, thank god! One thing my buddy pointed out is that this flip numerates the keyboard. it is the only kvm switch to do so, others only emulate keyboards -which takes away some features...so I learned... Great product and I can lock and play my music while I flip back and forth. love it
