Pros: -can connect up to three composite devices.
-sturdy push buttons to switch between the three inputs.
Cons: build quality is not so good one of the three inputs does not work - i have not opened it up to see, but it is hopefully only a loose wire/connection to fix it. (i only have two devices connected xbox and wii - and both work without any problems)
Other Thoughts: very useful product if you have a TV with only one composite input - but have more than once device. sure beats switching the cables every time you want to use a different device.
Bottomline: works without any problems on two of the three inputs. but its cheap so you get what you paid for i guess.
Reasonable product for a reasonable price

Pros: -It looks a reasonably slick and neat, unlike othere similar products on DX that are yellow and blue and have connections on all sides.
-It works quite OK,
-No dramatic negative effect on picture or sound
Cons: -Built very, very lightly from what appears to be hardboard.
-Buttons can't be operated without the switchbox moving around, you have to hold it in place yourself.
-Of the RGB channels only one worked on all three input chanels. I use it for composite video only, so one channel is enough, but It might not be for everybody
-Unit cant be openen without destruction to fix the broken channels (which are probably loose wires anyway)
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Very usefull and very cheap, but only usefull for light use. like when you occasionally play video games but mostly watch DVD's or similar. If you intend to switch frequently buy a heavier duty switch box elsewhere.
Useful product but a bit pricey for the quality

Pros: It's very useful product.
It will take component input from 3 sources and then you can connect them all to only one port in your tv. since most tv have limited number of component input, this proved to be very useful to me.
Cons: -no remote control
-built quality is questionable, the casing is made of thin plywood
-too light that it moves when I move the cables connected to it
-the sound quality is degraded a bit, the video seemed ok though
Other Thoughts: addition of remote control would be a great improvement to this product
Bottomline: useful product but still need some improvements. At this price, I would expect to have one with little remote control
