Nice smooth switching between two pcs on my multi screen setup. Works a treat.
Works well for connecting multiple devices to my laptop. Cables and box feel a bit cheap and flimsy, hopefully they prove me long and last a while, haven’t had any problems in the first month.
Simple set up, plug in and go!
This product arrive quickly, although I it came just in a cardboard box with just simply a small label on it, not very eye catching at all. The switch itself is good quality and sturdy and it comes with instruction. This works absolutely fine. It doesn’t take up loads of space due to the size of it and keeps my desk neat and tidy.
It is a very useful device and for 19.99 it is worth it just so I don’t have all my wires here, there and everywhere.
It is very good that you can switch over by pressing the button no more faffing about unplugging and plugging over and over. I have all my necessaries in it, all my USB devices are sorted now.
The product has a really nice look and feel. Aluminum machined body, nice weight.
I have a keychron keyboard with rgb, razer basilisk ultimate, steelseries arctic pro base and an elgato facecam connected to it, and also the provided remote.
I have the device connected both on my Mac and my PC, and sometimes I need to swap sources a few times in order to the required machine to be assigned the output.and that’s fine IMO.
Problem is, from time to time I’m expecting random disconnections. I tried to use the 5v cable because I thought it could be power hungry, but that didn’t solve. The disconnects events seems to be caused by the usb controller itself as all devices get into a weird power cycle with only one row of rgbs in the keyboard lighting up for example.
I’ll try their support and see what they say about this.
A four port USB hub that can be either powered externally (If required). This hub contains two inputs and a switch, so you can connect it to two PCs and switch between them. I am using it in my home office where I have a PC and a laptop connected to the same keyboard and mouse. When I want to change computers, I just press the switch and the mouse/keyboard will work the the other PC.
Works flawlessly for me. If you have this tucked away somewhere (Mine is behind a desk) then it comes with a switch connected to a long cable. This is pretty useful, as I just have the switch on my desk and can keep the hub somewhere else. Comes with all the cables you require.
A great little device, ideal for switching USB devices between computers. I am only using it with mice/keyboards so I don’t know how well it copes with external drives and USB sticks.
This is very compact, so keeping it on your desk will not take up that much space. It is easy to set up between your devices. The USB selector is very easy to use and a very useful product to have if you are someone who uses two devices and switches between multiple USB powered peripherals between them.
It’s a USB 2.0 KVM switch without the V (a KM switch?) so no monitor ports. The unit has decent enough build quality and I haven’t had any problem with the 2 x roughly 1.5m USB A to USB A cables used to connect each computer (although I note that some other reviewers have). I don’t think USB A to USB A is a particularly accepted standard and I would expect a KVM switch to have USB B ports for connecting the computers. The upshot is that if something goes wrong with the included USB A to A cables, you’re probably going to have to buy a non-standard cable to replace it as you aren’t likely to have one lying around.
In my usage though I haven’t experienced any problems. It does seem to take a little time to switch, but keyboard and mouse switched over fine for me.
The product is small, high quality and does the job well. It was a lot smaller than I expected but that is good as I can keep it out the way.
Have it set up to switch my keyboard, mouse and headset between my pc and my ps5. Works perfectly! The external button was a must have as I didn’t want lots of cables on my desk, this way it can all be tucked away and only 1 cable goes on the desk for the button itself. A bit expensive for what it is, but it’s usb3 so it’s a pretty good hub.
If you want to use multiple devices but with the same peripherals, this is a great choice.
You simply plug your peripherals into the 4 USB ports on the front and your 2 devices into the 2 ports on the back. You can then use the button on the switch to be able to switch between the devices.
This is very handy as it means you don’t have to keep unplugging and replugging cables. The switch is also well-made and looks very modern and stylish.
Overall, I would definitely recomend.
Even though an instruction booklet is included, the device is fairly simple to use.
Using button switching or an external controller, the USB 2.0 KVM switch enables two computers to share four USB 2.0 peripherals, such as a printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, USB drive, etc. This USB 2.0 switch selector not only enables external wired desktop controllers to switch inputs but also front panel push buttons. The desktop can be kept cleaner and the necessity for frequent unplugging eliminated, decreasing the risk of harm to the equipment. It can conceal the machine’s layout and wires.
This has been working well for me for a few days, I must admit. Switching from one PC input to another has a tiny lag, but it only lasts a second or two. I haven’t faced any issues at all. I haven’t experienced any crashes or issues with things not working properly, and the wired mouse and keyboard both switch over successfully. The actual device appears to be well manufactured. The “external controller” that comes with the device is far handier than I had anticipated. It has enabled me to move the switching device, along with all the cords connected to it, to the back of my desk, leaving only the straightforward toggle button controller in use.
I am generally quite impressed with the gadget. I can’t speak to its lifespan because I’ve only been using it for a few days, but I can still wholeheartedly suggest it.
Well packed and well built product. The version is old but it does the purpose for its price. There are 4 port available to switch between.
This is a good quality build and a robust device. It’s light, small and compact and does a decent enough job.
It takes a second or two to switch after I have instructed it to, but other than that it does what I need it to.
Nice build quality, handy little extension button to keep the desk from being cluttered. My only gripe is the poor quality of the supplied usb cables, but for the price it is great.
I ordered 2 In 4 Out USB Sharing Switch for my project. I use windows computer and Jetson Nano Development board at my office so this switch made my job easier. 2 In 4 Out USB Sharing feature is extremely useful for my purpose and I’m pretty satisfied.
Package Contents:
1X USB 2.0 Switch Selector,
2X USB 2.0 to USB 2.0 cable,
1X External controller kit,

The switch selector is quite lightweight and very compact. Due to aluminium design of the product, it seems pretty durable and I can use it for long years. You can make your selection via external switch button or input selection button on device. Do not forget you cannot use both computers at the same time on the same display. Once you click the selection button, you can use first computer, once you selection button again, now you can use the second computer. You don’t need to switch mouse, keyboard, hard drive, printer cables. All you need is to click button and making your selection of computer.
I’m very happy with my order.
Thank you.
I have only been using this switch for two weeks, but so far, it has worked out very well. I was about to buy another ergonomic keyboard for my two separate computers, but when I came across the idea of using a switch to share the mouse and keyboard with two computers, it was the perfect solution. Switching from one computer to the other is quite simple…just click the button on the switch. There is a very small light showing what computer you are on, but that light is so hard to see, it’s almost ridiculous that they even had it, since you can’t see it. I don’t rely on the light to know what computer I am on. I simply move the mouse and when I see the pointer, I know what computer I am on. That works out fine for me. There is maybe a second or two delay switching from one computer to the other, but otherwise I see no other issues. I hope the switch lasts. Too early to tell. I would absolutely recommend this.
I am impressed with this USB switch.
The kit contains the USB 2.0 switching box, two USB A to A cables, a remote switch and a power cable. The switch box itself feels sturdy, and feels like its made of aluminium.
I found the device to be very easy and intuitive to use, although an instructions booklet is included.
I found the item to be extremely useful as I have very limited desk space, so I was easily able to use the USB switch to enable me to share my keyboard, mouse and printer between two different computers. I tested this out by using my desktop PC and a Raspberry Pi 4. Switching between devices was as simple as pressing the button on the top of the unit (although I had to manually change monitor inputs over separately). The USB devices switched between the computers quickly and were responsive almost immediately after switching. Switching with the remote button was pretty much instantaneous too. The button on the top of the unit is nice and tactile, and there are blue LED indicators to show which device has the currently active connection.
Overall, if you are using two computers and need to share peripherals between them, such as configuring single board computers, or wanting to run two computers on a single keyboard and mouse, this is an absolutely fantastic item to have. If you need a USB switch, I am happy to recommend this one.
Firstly, upon arrival you can see this is a small switch with takes a USB input from up to 2 different PCs.
On the back are the input ports are USB-A which seems common these days for switches (I have others which opt for USB-B). Provided in the box is 2 USB-A to USB-A cables which will allow you to connect to PCs into this hub. A 3rd input is micro USB with supplied cable, which can optionally power the hub, if you intend to run power devices such as external hard drives, though I personally didn’t need it for simple keyboard/mouse operation.
On the back, there’s also an external wired remote provided which is nice, so you can keep the switch hidden around the back of the PC’s out of sight. I do like the fact the remote is on the back because I have another switch where it’s on the front, and if you do have it in sight, it’s an extra wire poking out. Of course there’s also a switch button on the switch itself for those who don’t want a remote.
On the front are 4 USB-A ports. Note that this is a USB 2.0 switch, not 3.0, so it’s really only for mouse and keyboard switching, since something like a USB flash drive will only provide a lowly 480Mbps transfer rate. If you want more, you will have to shop around for the USB 3.0 or faster switches, which will either cost more or be made of cheap plastic.
In terms of usage, this works well with no noticeable lag. Being a budget switch, there’s no fancy features such as keyboard operated switching. However I actually prefer this, since I find either you end up switching accidentally, or sometimes you get bugs in the switch causing mouse lagging etc – less to go wrong this way!
At 20, it’s not the cheapest out there, but to be fair, the metal quality construction makes it worth the money especially given it has a remote. You have a decent product, but it’s not a KVM switch as advertised though since it doesn’t do video (KVM=Keyboard Video Mouse).
I have kept my old PC primarily so that I can record and edit audio whilst using my new PC for other purposes (nothing I do on my new PC can therefore interfere with the sound on the old PC). Until now I have had 2 mice and 2 keyboards, one for each PC. Switching between them is a pain and I often end up typing on the wrong keyboard or moving the wrong mouse. Hence I decided to try this switching device.
I’ve been using this for a few days now and have to say it has worked very well. There is a slight lag switching from one PC input to another but no more than a second or two. I have had no problems at all. The mouse and keyboard (both wired) switch across successfully and I have had no crashes or things not working properly.
The device itself seems well made. Initially I thought I would not use the “external controller” that comes with the device but it turns out to be very useful. It has allowed me to place the switching device, and hence all the wires plugged into it, at the rear of my desk and just have the simple toggle button controller near me.
Overall I am very impressed with the device. I have only been using it for a few days so can’t comment on its longevity but otherwise I can definitely recommend it.
There is a lot of utility to a product like this. You can bring this along and you don’t really have to wbring as much with you because this can provide you with a lot at the same time which saves a lot of space and time.
