Perfect working from home device
I currently have 3 PC's on my desk, a gaming PC, an old Mac Mini and my work laptop. This device is the perfect device for swapping my keyboard, mouse, webcam and Focusrite sound interface between them, for home use and for working from home. The button to switch between outputs is great and comes with a long, but thin cable attached. Four USB3 Type A - Type B cables ar...

Does not work
Just purchased this to share a printer between 2 computers. One is Windows 10 and the other is a Macbook Pro. The MBP shows the printer as offline and does not work while the Windows 10 machine is fine. If I plug the MBP directly into the printer it works just fine.

Took a little to get it working
I have a setup that has a centralized dell hub consuming all peripheral connections (internet, audio, kvm, into a single USB-A output which I originally had to connect and disconnect between my work laptop and desktop myself. With this switch, instead of plugging and unplugging it relays the connection to the computer I have selected. For this to work as intended I had ...

Lack of switch control
Unit is great however the biggest drawback is that you have to cycle thru all before going back to first. We have 2 computers connected but it does not auto detect so you have to cycle thru the 2 unused ports.

Nice little addition to the desk. Small enough to stay out of the way too. Great for sharing anything USB. I've got a desktop PC and a TB3 dock on my desk (used with Macbook and a Dell mobile workstation). I can switch my backup drive, scanner, and USB headset between the PC and the dock without having to get into the cabling. Serious time saver. My PC and my dock don't...

4x4 Sharing
I really like the concept and design of this USB sharing switch. If you have a lot of computers and are sharing USB peripherals by moving cables around, this will allow you to connect them all together, and then with the included remote cabled switch, hide all those cables away and keep your work surface neat and tidy. One thing I did note was that for some USB Memory k...

4port Peripheral Sharing Switch USB 3.0 5Gbps
What a great device. Everything you need comes in the box. It includes a cable with a one button push to change computers accessibility to the shared devices. The led lights show which computer is active. They even included a USB Micro-B port to allow you to plug in a 5V power cable in case your peripheral requires more power than what the computer delivers through the ...
