UGREEN USB KVM Switch Box 2 Port VGA Video Sharing Adapter 2 in 1 Out Manual Switcher with USB Cables for Computer PC Laptop Desktop Monitor Printer Keyboard Mouse Control

Ive used a few of these KVM switches over the years and have never had a problem. They are inexpensive and they just work. If youve got two computers youd like to have share a single monitor / keyboard / mouse and you are okay with VGA monitor cables, this is the switch for you.

Love this switch! Simply put it works fantastic! Easy to install and switches between computers with the touch of a button. Used my wired keyboard and wireless mouse and it works perfectly!

I bought a new desktop and have to keep using my old pc with other applications and I don’t have room for another monitor. This unit lets me use the same monitor, keyboard and mouse for both PCs. It was very simple to install and worked instantly. I highly recommend it.

Finally, a product that works

I have a personal MacBook Pro and a work-issued Dell laptop. I got tired of having both open on my desk at the same time and having to shuffle each around as I shifted tasks between the two. I now have both laptops on a box next to my desk, with each set to not sleep when the lid is closed. I also have a 27 monitor being fed by the video outputs of each laptop via this switch. Both the keyboard and mouse are wireless Logitech devices that use their unifying receiver to connect to the computer (or in this case, the switch). No bluetooth issues, no cables from keyboard/mouse, just a tiny receiver for each that plugs into a USB port and auto-recognizes the device to which it is paired. Everything works perfectly, and did from the very first time I turned it all on. So, yes, you can easily use this with wireless keyboards and mice. The switch is still hard-wired to the laptops via USB for the keyboard/mouse functionality and for the VGA video output, but all of that is out of sight down by the floor on the side of my desk, which is also where I have this switch mounted to the desk with heavy duty 3M Command Strips. To switch from one laptop to the other, I just reach over to the side of the desk and tap the button. As mentioned by a few others, there is a 3-4 second lag before the video from the other laptop appears, but thats irrelevant in my case because I cant imagine any scenario in which I need it to happen any faster. The only other delay is if I need to tap a key on the keyboard or move/click the mouse to energize the video output of the new source laptop. Neither of them goes to sleep, but the video output does if theyre inactive long enough. I could probably change that, but I dont really care. Im just glad everything works so seamlessly. The only thing I wish I had realized before I bought this particular switch is that there is no support for sound. The USB ports are only for the keyboard/mouse pass through and the only video support is VGA, which does not transmit sound. I had to do some extra setup to get the sound from the two different laptops to play through one set of desktop speakers, but having HDMI inputs/outputs on the switch for video AND audio would have been easier and require fewer cables. Still, its not important enough for me to get a different switch. This one works very well and I can easily replace the underlying switch mechanism if it ever wears out.

Im a big fan of plug and play things. And this switch box is that. The indicator light on top tells me which computer the monitor is presently hooked up to, and simple push of the button on top instantly changes it.

For what it does and the ease with which it does it, this little widget is fine. Switch is very fast. Versus direct connection between pc and monitor, theres no observable difference in video or keyboard and mouse response. I would give it 5 stars if not for the fact that when either my desktop or laptop goes to sleep, neither one will resync with the KB and mouse when they wake. Does anybody else have this problem? The only only way to get them to resync is to hard power cycle. Sure, I could turn off sleep but I dont want to run my devices 24/7. Or I could do full shutdowns and then wait for boot up every time I wanna use my gear. Thats annoying since Im on and off multiple times a day.

Ive got this hooked up to a laptop and PC to share a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. It looks like it pulls power from each computers USB connection so theres no need for an external power supply, which I appreciate because its less clutter to deal with.

Purchased this for a small homelab setup. Works great. Truly plug and play. Easy to use!

Just received this switch. From out of box to fully functioning in 5 minutes. Only issue was making sure I had the USBs connected to the correct input but once that was done this has worked exactly as advertised and as I had hoped. BTW, I was previously having to switch out my mouse and keyboard when I changed from work to home computer. Now both operate off the same wireless, Logitech keyboard and mouse. Perfect so far.
