Title: Great while it lasted
Product review: I bought one of these at Radio Shack because the wireless mouse adapter connected to my laptop kept getting hammered. It worked fine for a couple of years. Then it developed an intermittent problem that caused all my USB ports to be flaky - not just the one it was plugged into. That, and the fact that the problems persisted after removing the Flex USB, made it hard to diagnose the problem. At first, a reboot would make everything work OK for a while, but the problem got worse as time went on. Eventually, I took out the Flex USB, reloaded the USB driver (again), and rebooted, and the problem was gone.This is such a useful device that I'm going to have to buy another one. Unfortunately, this Amazon vendor is the last reasonably-priced place to get it, and the shipping charge is pretty high. Radio Shack doesn't carry it any more (I tried a couple of stores.) At least now I know what to do if it goes bad in the same way.
