Flip Features

Stackable Design

Flip is designed to stack directly below or on top of your Mac mini, to help you save valuable 
desktop space.

Audio Support

Flip allows you to share one set of speakers between your two computers so you won’t need 
to unplug and reconnect your speakers every time you switch access from one computer to 
the next.

Touch-Sensitive Buttons

Flip has five touch-sensitive buttons on its front panel, which allow you to conveniently 
switch access to the next computer, control volume, and eject disks from your Mac mini.

Optional USB Device Port

Flip has two USB ports for you to connect your USB keyboard and mouse. The mouse port 
can also be used for a USB peripheral device, such as a printer, so you can share the device 
between both computers. Flip features Hi-Speed USB 2.0 technology.

Built-In Cables

Flip includes two sets of built-in cables for connecting your two computers to simplify 
installation and reduce desktop clutter.
