USB 3.0 Switch, USB Switch 2 Computers Share 4 USB for PC, Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, Scanner, USB KVM Switch Selector Compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux

Effortlessly Shares Key Peripherals, But Mind the Power Needs Setting up this BENFEI USB switch was a breeze. I needed a way to share my keyboard, mouse, and a flash drive between my personal desktop and my work laptop, and this little unit has solved that problem perfectly. The plug-and-play setup worked instantly on both my Windows 10 PC and my MacBook—no drivers to hunt down, which is always a major plus. The physical switch button is responsive, and the LED lights make it crystal clear which computer is currently active. Switching between them is nearly instantaneous for standard input devices, keeping my workflow smooth. I really like the build quality; it feels sturdy and not cheaply made. The included cables are a nice touch and have proven to be reliable. For my core use case of sharing a keyboard and mouse, this device performs flawlessly and has completely eliminated the need to constantly plug and unplug cables from my laptop. However, it's important to keep in mind its limitations with high-power devices. As noted in the manual, the unit includes a micro-USB power port for a reason. When I tried to connect a bus-powered external hard drive, it was not recognized until I connected the provided power cable to a wall adapter. Even then, performance with power-hungry devices can be inconsistent. This isn't a dealbreaker, but it's a crucial consideration. This switch is ideal for low to medium-power peripherals like input devices, card readers, or webcams, but may struggle with portable hard drives without supplemental power. Bottom Line: This is a fantastic and affordable solution for anyone looking to share a keyboard, mouse, and other low-power USB devices between two computers. It's reliable, easy to use, and works seamlessly across different operating systems. Just be sure to use the included power cable if you plan to connect anything more demanding than basic peripherals. For its intended purpose, it’s a great value.

I purchased this KVM to reduce monitor, keyboard foot print at my work station. It is quite small and light, the cost is super reasonable so I had my doubts, however after 3 minutes to connect it worked immediately. It even has a wired remote control switch that I love, It takes up almost no space and the device can be tucked away anywhere your cables reach. The only slight draw-back is there is about a 3 second delay when switching. I highly recommend this product to anyone on a budget and has the need.

I have this plugged into a laptop USB c hub and my desktop. Switches instantly and when I'm gaming on my desktop or my laptop no lag or any other disconnects or any other problems with anything. Switching button is easy to press, device light clear this hub is a wonderful value. I have connected a mechanical wired lighted RGB keyboard, an rgb mouse, an Xbox one wired controller normally connected to it. Little flash drive also works well also when hub unpowered for short transfers. So that's all four ports in use at once unpowered not bad. I'm sure if I connected a hard drive or something to it I would need to use the power supply but that would not be a great idea if you switched while transferring files. I see no negatives at this low price.

Cheap and works for my USB keyboard and mouse dongle to share them between 2 computers. But already found a few annoying issues. 1) Older USB scanner wouldn't work connected to the hub, needed to be connected to the PC directly 2) Included USB-A to USB-C cable would not work to connect the hub to my MacBook Pro. The A-to-A cable with the included A-to-C adapter did work. Not sure if this is a hub issue, a cable issue, or both. 3) Keyboard connected to the hub can no longer be used to wake my PC. Not sure if this is an issue with this hub in particular versus all hubs. Overall happy with my purchase and can deal with the annoyances, but it's cheap for a reason.

Very happy with my USB 3.0 switch for my PC/Mac setup. So easy to setup and use. Nice small size fits almost anywhere. Attach power cable, especially for lighted gaming keyboards, ext. drives.

Update 2 months in. Just stopped working suddenly. Old review: This thing feels cheap as h**l, but it works so well. It is instant. They clearly only put in exactly as much as is needed. I have had no issues setting up two comps to both run through two displays, keyboard and mouse, and one of the computers is a laptop docking station ---- and yet...somehow....the switching is literally as easy as pressing a button. It is very small (it sits daintily on my mac mini). My only complaint is that it is sooooo light it sometimes floats around my desk area because of all the wires (and a kitten). But that has never led to any issues with its functionality. If I knew how well this worked and they somehow integrated it with a keyboard that had the switch on it...I'd probably pay 3 to 4 times the price for that. As long as the keyboard was good, too. That's a lot to ask, and has nothing to do with why you should buy this dinky little thing that does exactly what it says it does and works so well!

I had been using a different USB switch to go between 2 PCs for my USB soundcard, Mouse, & keyuboard. This worked fine with my old keyboard but I recently upgraded to a Corsair K70 Max and the keyboard would not get recognized on the second PC with the old switch. Bought this one, connected cables I already had in place via direct swapping from old to new switch. Now my keyboard is recognized on the second PC and all my devices are recognized faster on both PCs. Used PC1 as power source for the extra power connector (same as I did with prior switch).

Works very well, swapping devices between two PCs

Ho acquistato questo switch perché volevo usare le stesse periferiche su entrambi i pc (un win e un mac entrambi fissi) senza dover scollegare e ricollegare ogni volta. Dopo qualche settimana di utilizzo, ecco le mie impressioni: 🔌 Setup semplice e immediato – collegare i due PC e le periferiche è stato facilissimo, plug & play e senza driver strani da installare. 💻 Commutazione rapida e comoda – basta premere un pulsante per passare da un computer all’altro, con tutti i dispositivi (tastiera, mouse, monitor, hard disk esterno) che vengono riconnessi correttamente e subito. 📈 Funziona bene con più periferiche – posso condividere 2 porte video più USB e tastiera/mouse tra due PC in modo molto efficiente, senza lag evidente o problemi strani. 🖥️ Risparmio di spazio e cavi – la scrivania è molto più ordinata e non devo più avere doppie periferiche, il che è comodissimo se si lavora con più macchine. 👌 Qualità costruttiva solida – il dispositivo è compatto, stabile e compatibile con Windows, Mac senza intoppi. ➡️ Consigliato se usi più PC con le stesse attrezzature e vuoi evitare di cambiare continuamente cavi o avere tastiere e mouse duplicati sulla scrivania. Un acquisto super funzionale per chi ha configurazioni con due computer ma vuole un setup pulito e facile da gestire.

Lightweight but strong, stable plastic build. I like that the cables are long enough and still perform well. Only complaint is that the button is recessed, rather than sticking out, so it takes some getting used to, especially if you mount it under your desk like I have. Using it primarily for my audio interface, USB eLicenser and mouse and keyboard for seamless switching between my Windows PC and MacBook. Transfer speeds are acceptable when connected to external drives. TAKE NOTE: This device doesn't send enough power for SSDs and portable HDDs to work. Those need to be directly connected to the computer - but self-powered external drives work well with relatively comparable speeds to direct connection. In all, good device, for what I paid for it, best deal out there
