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've been using this for about a year now? It just works perfectly. No issues, ever. It never fails to switch, and I have many devices connected to it -- no issues with them. I have mine routed with a USB hub connecting to two different computers. This allows me to switch my keyboard, mouse, webcam, and audio interface between my work computer during the day and my home PC at night. It works perfectly, and it has an illuminated LED to let you know which output is active. The product feels well made, like it will last. I actually use the switcher 2-4 times a day.

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've been using these for a few months and they work great to share my most between 2 computers. It picks up and works with the other pc almost immediately after I press the button. No power need. Just buy an extra USB cord and you're set.

It works fine for my two laptops, but doesn't come with a USB cable

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).

Does not work well with a Twain scanner (nor, I suspect, with any USB device). Both attached computers must be turned on to use the switch. Even then most of the time the switch is set to a port, the attached computer says the USB device is not recognized, and never starts to be recognized. Just not useful. Returned and replaced with this IOGEAR switch which works great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036ZE6WE

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.

very easy to connect to my printer and connect to two computers.

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.

Fonctionne très bien

This USB switcher is incredibly affordable and works exactly as advertised. Switching between devices takes just one click, and the process is smooth and quick every time. It’s simple to set up, easy to use, and has made managing multiple devices much more convenient. A great purchase for the price!

we have cheaper otions avaiable as this item is same as others but the seller is using a different picture to gain more sales traffic, atleast to say i bought this over others because of the picture. I use this to share keyboard and mouse between my Laptop and PC so not sure about the transfer speeds but the UBS slot looks like a USB 3.0 with 9 contacts.
