Game switch uses the red, yellow, and white inserts along with an S-Video. There is a TV input and 4 additional inputs for the devices. VERY easy to use, can't go wrong. Item took a few days to get to my house; product arrived in new condition.

We have several different gaming systems, and it works great. We use it to switch back and forth, and its really easy to work...the durability is good.

Seems to work OK, video switches aren't that complicated. However, there is one flaw: the instructions state that you must use all composite-only (red/white/yellow plugs) or all S-video devices. I tried to mix devices (DVD player on S-video, game system on composite) and it didn't work.

I was under the impression that since I hooked up an S-video cable to the switch as the output to the TV, all signals sent from the switch would be via S-video, not so. The input device also has to be S-video or you get no video. I.e. you can't hook up a game system using composite-only and have the video switch output via S-video.

It's not a deal breaker for me, but it sure would have been nice to use S-video for my DVD player and composite for my game systems (that don't support S-video). Unless all of your devices use S-video, there's really no reason for this to even have the ports.
