UGREEN USB Switch Selector 2 Computers Sharing 4 USB Devices USB 2.0 Peripheral Switcher Box Hub for Mouse Keyboard Scanner Printer PCs with One-Button Swapping and 2 Pack USB A to A Cable

I found this in a YouTube review for KMV switches. During the video, what sold it to me was the ease of setup and use. It will wake your computer up from sleep and easily switch between computers effortlessly. Also works in bios, no issue. they also have a USB 3.0 Version which the review on youtube outlined " you dont need 3.0 for just keyboard and mouse, but if you were wanting to do data transfers than the 3.0 version would be a better option, although the other version is 29.99 and this one is 19.99 ...but they both include a 5v type c port for extra power but the type c cord nor the charging block is included with this unit. But all in all it works great, I've had it for a few weeks now and no issues. would definitely recommend to others that are looking for a simple solution, like I was on running one keyboard and mouse for two different computers. No software needs to be installed, includes two Type A USB 2.0 cables to run to either computer. The unit is smaller than the box it comes in. It kind of fooled me. But still a powerhouse of a KM switch and does what I need to when I need it too. And for the price, you can't beat it.

This USB switch is perfect for anyone juggling two computers. I use it to share the same keyboard and mouse between my Dell and MacBook, and all it takes is one quick button press to switch control. It’s fast, effortless, and keeps my setup clean and organized. The build quality is solid, and the included cables make it ready to use right out of the box. For the price, it’s one of the easiest and most practical solutions I’ve found for dual-computer setups.

I have a switch that I've used in the past to share my keyboard and mouse connections but it only works with USB 3.0 and one of my computers is a very old HP Slimline desktop (running Linux) that only has 2.0 so I bought this one. Small and easy to use, very quick. Good product.

-This is a review for the UGREEN USB Switch Selector 2 Computers Sharing 4 My Experience: so far I've had a very enjoyable experience with this device. I use 2 difference computers on my desk, one being my work computer and the other being my main computer. I personally use a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and my microphone. All 3 of them working just fine. I press the button and it switches all of my peripherals to the other computer. I don't use the additional micro b and thankfully all of the peripherals work fine without it. I thought the microphone would need it however it works just fine. Positive: + 4 ports for peripherals, usb drives or whatever you want + can plug into 2 difference PCS + Solid button, doesn't feel like it's gonna break anytime soon + works perfectly fine for the past month that I've been using it, no need to install drivers or do any tinkering, just plug it in and you'll be good to go + works with my wireless keyboard and mouse, both using separate dongles Neutral: | Would be nice if they had at least 1 USB type C port or more if possible Negative: - No keyboard shortcut switching, the physical button is the only way to switch over to the other computer Recommended: Definitely yes, it fits my use case perfectly and I'm more than happy that I have it

This is a simple yet really useful USB 2.0 switch. It allows you to use up to 4 USB 2.0 devices with two different computers. In my case, I bought it to use one set of keyboard and mouse between my two Mac minis, as my desk is not big enough to accommodate two sets. Besides, I use the two Mac minis for different purposes and don’t need to type or mouse on them at the same time. So this switch is perfect. The product description, packaging and manual say this is “2 in 4 out.” This makes no sense to me. What you are getting is a switch that allows you to connect up to 4 USB peripherals like mouse, keyboard, trackpad, printer, USB drives (but at only USB 2.0 speeds), etc. For USB storage devices you need a microUSB cable to power the switch; I tried this by connecting the cable from my Mac mini but found the transfer speeds to be abysmal by 2023 standards, so I’m only using the switch for my keyboard and mouse. Which is what this switch is best for. Maybe a wired printer is okay with the USB 2.0 speed. This product is useful and easy to use. It comes with two USB A cables to connect to your computers. It doesn’t need power if just connecting keyboard and mouse. Great product.

I needed a KVM Switch for my desk so that I could switch between the work laptop and my personal rig. Well, the V or video part of my needs turned out to be too expensive and too limited in capabilities, so I looked into the K&M or keyboard and mouse parts of my requirements. What I found was this device and few others like it. This is the USB 2.0 version and it works great. I plug the included cables into the respective systems (work laptop and personal rig) and then attach the devices I want to share between the two boxes into the other side of the side of the device. The top button is nice and handy and the LED lets me know which device is getting the signals. Nearly everything I've plugged into it has worked for sharing with one exception. Be warned, not everything may work with this device. I have a USB headset that has controls on the connection block for volume, speaker output and mic muting. This headset, a VTIN branded device, would not work with this KM switch. This has not a deal breaker as I don't need that headset on my personal rig at all, it's solely for my work laptop, as I work remote 100% and needed a decent headset for WebEx meetings and such. The work around was to plug the VTIN into the laptop directly and I'm OK with that. I haven't tried a web cam, but I don't do video meetings/Skype so I don't care. The headset or a WebCam may require more bandwidth. If you need to share these kinds of devices between two systems, you might look at the USB 3.0 version of this. It's like $10 to $11 more, but the increased bandwidth may be necessary to get the full range of device sharing experience. I still give it 5 stars, as it works great for the keyboard and mouse sharing which is why I bought it.

Having owned and used this Ugreen USB switch for a few months, I do not recommend it due to a behavior pattern which is highly interruptive. I don't easily see it reported in other reviews which is somewhat surprising. I use a keyboard and mouse, wanting to switch between two computers on demand. What occurs is a sporadic input lag and stutter of about 1 second while in the middle of typing or moving the mouse. When it occurs during typing the letter L for exampe, the result is a short, sub-second keyboard input pause followed by 6-7 additional letter Ls being input as though I were holding down the L key. This then requires me to remove the errant letter Ls, go back to correct what I was typing, and move forward with typing while hoping it doesn't happen again for awhile. When the issue occurs during mouse usage, the mouse cursor appears to freeze, going nowhere for a brief, sub-second period of time. This has nothing to do with the PC input delay observed when switching between computers. That is completely normal and expected behavior. I have not identified a pattern related to this. I have tested multiple keyboards and mice, including bluethooth mice, and not observed this issue go away.

It was really easy to set up. I plugged one port into my Macbook's dock and the other into a desktop. With just a press of the button I can quickly swap between my Mac and my PC, there is only a slight delay of a few seconds after the press before it starts working, but besides that it works great. I was even able to hook up a power cable to it so I can charge things using it too. It's small and fits very nicely on my desk as well. The light signaling which source its hooked up to is a bit dim so it can be difficult to tell at a glance what source it is, but its not much of a problem because its pretty obvious where its connected when you try to use a peripheral and it doesn't work until you press the button to switch sources.
