4 port USB 2.0 Manual Sharing Switch with 4 cables

I have two computers that feed, via USB cables to one printer. This device makes that connection. Push buttons allows me to switch between my 2 computers. The advertisement hints that connecting cables are supplied. Actually, four cables, each being a generous 5 feet long, are supplied, so that you can hook up 4 computers to one device, such as a printer (like I am doing with my two computers). I did not need any technical support from them, it was very simple to install, but I gave them five stars in "technical" for supplying the four cables. The device arrived on time and was better then described (they gave me 4 connecting cables--which the ad hinted at, but the ad was not clear on that).

I needed a simple 4x1 switch to allow me to connect my Logitech unifying receiver between multiple PCs where using their 'Flow' software was not an option (couldn't share a network.). This switch functions perfectly. Additionally, most of the digital ones I've seen only have a single button that lets you 'cycle through' the four machines (although they usually are smart enough to skip those not plugged in) whereas this, with four separate buttons, again mechanical, you can instantly jump to whatever machine you want.

WOW, this thing works GREAT! It really exceeded my expectations and performs marvelously so far. The switch operates with push button switches on the front panel, one switch only at a time. Works super for me!!!! It even comes with all it's own cables, so how can you possibly ask for more!

It works for the most part, but one of the ports will reset connection every 20 minutes or so. I'm using 3 of the 4 devices, so it's not a huge deal for me, but not sure how common the problem is.

Frame is metal and strong you can jump between computer faster since it have four switches instead of one Cheape welding, you may have one of your usb lines is not connecting right. Once you get make sure to give it a good test with all devices you have. with my case I had all ports worked with keyboard and mouse however some did not recognize my usb hub over all its good

Great simple article that I use with my computers and components.

Units worked fine for first 2-3 months then would not connect laptop to printer w/ USB cable. First one port failed, then 2nd, then 3rd.

Our printer has lost its wifi connection and this was a decent work around for multiple computers to print. Just have to remember to press the button each time.

Good product. Compact. Does not have a power adapter which means, it draws power from the connected devices. I use this device for sharing a dell wireless Keyboard/mouse combo b/w work laptop / home laptop / Samsung tab / rpi. i bought this product because, i wanted a static switch to select the host device. Software products like sway expects all devices to be on the same network and this is not possible always, because for example, my work laptop is on a diff wifi network than other devices (for balancing bandwidth for remote meetings/video streaming to chromecast).

I'm using a desktop and a laptop. I was hesitant to purchase a non branded item. However didn't find any other pocket friendly apart from this product. I'm now sharing my keyboard with both my desktop and my laptop. All i need to do is press the relevant button for associating my keyboard with and it switches to that. Let's see how long this runs. I also seen a 2 year warranty card. Packaging was pretty simple, 4 cables with usb switch box which is quite sturdy.

I use this for switching between multiple Linux workstations and it works like a charm. Only drawback I see is there is not power, so it cannot be extended to support both mouse and keyboard using a hub. You can still use a wireless combo. It cannot draw power for a passive hub. I don't have a hub with power to test it out. Ordering another one to support mouse and keyboard.

Value for money but

good product using form last three years.
