I've owned a number of these pelican system selectors over the years, and they have been very reliable. I still have one in use today in fact, that I use for some of my older gaming consoles.
If I had to find some aspect of them that I was dissatisfied with, it would probably be the tiny plastic piece labels that come with the device, for the little windows on the front, so you can see which source is the active one. They are just really small and difficult to see clearly from even a short distance away.
As a simple remedy however (and to include devices that no suitable plastic label piece existed for) I simply took some masking tape and wrote on it with a sharpie pen, placed it below the input source's front window, and problem solved really.
One thing I really appreciate about the system selector is that it does not require any power to operate. Simple mechanical switching of your desired input source when the button is pressed.
If you can still find these things anymore, even a used one, and you have a bunch of older consoles or similar devices that you want to hook to your TV via component cable (up to 3 devices) , s-video or composite rca cables (up to 4 devices), you really can't go wrong with this.

I have a PS2, Wii and the original Xbox console. This switch work perfectly for all consoles. I did pick however up an Xbox component video cable in order to utilize all three component cable inputs on the back of the switch. All in all works great for me to easily switch between the three. I don't notice any real increase in video or audio quality, but I bought this for the ease of switching between the consoles. I also like the idea that it doesn't need to be powered to operate. It is what it is, as switch.

I like this switch. it works well for connecting several inputs to my old CRT television. The inputs are labeled for specific consoles but I don't really use them in those ports. The main thing I don't like about this is there is no remote access. You have to actually get up and go change the input.

I got this system selector for my grandfather who needed to hook-up a vcr, dvd player, and satalite dish to his tv. All three items used AV cables while his super new HD tv only had one AV input, with four HDMI inputs. The item does exactly what it was meant to do just fine. Seller was fast. The only drawback is that the product doesn't have "blank" labels, I had to scratch off the "PS2" text in the button so that it would be for "satalite" - but the item discription let me know it didn't have blank buttons, I knew what i was buying :)
Great seller, great product.

it is a great device but from time to time it does not transmit the video and audio signals from my video game systems to my TV. it may only have these issues because i had to buy it used for one reason or another and as it is i think they stopped making these years ago.

The right price; does the right job. The slightest fault might be that the connections and bonus cables are not gold plated, but this wasn't used on higher end equipment so there was no noticeable visual or audio degradation. I needed an inexpensive video selector that works with component connections and this was just what I needed. The bonus cables made it a great value too.

I wouldnt recommend buying this. The packaging was cheap. The product all around feels cheap, crappy plastic material, feels like something you would buy at a dollar store if you know what I mean. Definately wouldnt recommend buying this product.
