I bought this as it was cheap and I thought it would serve a simple purpose. I was wrong: this item is both cheap looking and cheap feeling. Nothing wrong with that, and I suppose you get what you pay for, but the real problem with this is that IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK. Out of the box, my splitter was totally inert and in spite of trying it in lots of different ways and with different peripherals, it never once showed a single glimmer that it wasn't completely dead.
At this price, it's hardly worth the bother of sending it back, but at least I can stick a review up to help others avoid making the mistake I made. AVOID.
If I could give it no stars, I most certainly would.
