USB 3.0 Switch, Bi-Directional USB Switch 1 in 2 Out/ 2 in 1 Out, Aluminum USB Switcher 2 Computers Share USB Devices for Printer, Keyboard, Scanner, Mouse - Compatible with Mac/Win/Linux

I am gonna keep it a buck fiddy with you. I did not have very high expectations for this product. I needed something to allow me to switch a wired Razer controller between a PC and an XBox. I thought I'd give it a shot and I was very surprised. Works great. No issues for connectivity, because of it's size it was easy to install right on my desktop. Definitely a must have if your setup is anything like mine.

The switcher works great and I like the illuminated numbers (1 - 2), but get the right USB cables. I went thru the hassle of fishing out USB-A to USB-A cables to connect to the two computers only to find out that they only pass power, not data. I had to use two USB-A to USB-C cables that passed data and 2 adaptors (USB-C to USB-A) to plug the cables into the switcher. Why USP cable manufacturers don't color code or mark PWR Passing Only cables is beyond me. Two recommendations: 1 Users - buy the version that includes the cables for the least amount of hassle if you don't know if you have the right cables or not. 2 Manufacturer: Use USB-C ports for the 2 computer inputs.

I am using this to share a docking station with two computers so that each can utilize the same dual monitors, wireless keyboard/mouse, and speakers. It works flawlessly and is a inexpensive solution. I also bought two USB cables with it to ensure everything worked correctly.

I have a novel use for this USB switch. It is connected to the DATA usb port in my car which I have a thumb drive attached to which contains my rather large music library. But when I want to use CarPlay, I have to unplug the drive and connect a cable to attach my phone (I don't have wireless CarPlay and I haven't found a module that I feel performs well enough to use.) The problem with plugging/unplugging so much is that the USB port in my car is, well, it's junk. It wiggles and other people have reported the port pushing through into the console. This A/B switch now connects to the port, then my thumb drive happily lives on port A, while the cable I use to connect my phone is on port B. Hit the button and watch the little light up letter switch between A and B, and wait a few seconds and things are working. The only downsides are that the switch is rather larger than it needs to be so storing it is awkward, and the switch itself seems to heat up more than I would expect considering it is basically a passive device.

I use a backup scheme with two USB drives only one of which is "online" at a time, so there's no need to use up two USB ports on the computer. I switch them periodically. The idea is that if the worst should happen, I can restore from the drive that was offline at the time of the disaster. Since I use free software I only backup my home directory; everything else I can get online. To make the switch, I unmount and then turn off the one being "switched out". Then I push the button on this switch, and finally turn on the other (which then automounts).

My wife and I share a vehicle which only supports "wired" CarPlay, thus we purchased a wireless CarPlay Adapter. Worked great except, when driving alone, we had to disconnect one iPhone and reconnect the other through the phone settings. This USB switch selector allowed us to connect an additional wireless CarPlay adapter and now we simply push the selector button to pick our specific phone.

Item is very simple and arrived quickly, I just wish it worked! Tried to use it to connect my two laptops to my webcam, tried with dozens of different USB A to A and USB C to A cables, multiple different USB drives and webcams, none of them work. Item does not appear to have any lights or indicators that it is powered of working at all, it just sits there and seems to be completely DOA. Initiated a return and was told I don't even need to send it back, so I guess I just have a paperweight now. Wish I could recommend this as it looks like exactly what I need, but in my experience at least it was not worth the headache trying to get it to work.

I bought this to connect my keyboard to both my PlayStation and my desktop, I mounted it under the desk and it works great. It does have a blue led that's fairly bright so I would recommend electrical tape if it bothers you. Great for my use case

It is a nice product when using one side with usb and one side with wireless android auto just one switch then it is changed from usb to wirlees android auto.

We use this to switch between keyboards (my child cannot be trusted to not spill food and drink onto a good keyboard), and it works perfectly for that use.

Works nice, switch is easy to use. Saves climbing under desk to move USB cord between computers.

Fonctionne très bien

Works flawlessly, never had problems with it. Been using it for about 6 months now.
