Belkin Intros Flip KVM for Mac mini

 COMPTON, Calif. - July 13, 2005 - Belkin Corporation announces Flip(TM) for Mac mini, the first solution designed to share one monitor, keyboard, and mouse between the Mac mini and a second computer, saving money and desktop space. Flip is ideal for using the Mac mini as a second computer, without the expense or desktop real estate requirements of a second monitor. Flip will be available in North America in early fall 2005.

Touch-sensitive buttons make it fast and easy to switch computers, eject a CD, and adjust volume. Connect your speakers to Flip and use them with both computers -- without unplugging and reconnecting them each time you switch. Setup is a breeze: Flip requires no additional cables or software for installation.

Flip is the only peripheral switching product that fully supports all Mac keyboards and function keys, including the built-in mouse hub on Mac keyboards.
