UGREEN USB Sharing Switch USB 2.0 Peripheral Switcher Adapter Box 2 Computer Share 1 USB Device Hub for Printer Scanner with 2 Pack USB 2.0 Male Cable

Incredibly simple device to setup. All cables in the box. x2 USB -A > B connections= These will connect to the input port of the computers/laptops. Then its just a matter of placing the main component on the central port - rather that be a keyboard/mouse etc. - The switch has a real nice click, and doesnt seem to give at all which is great as Im using it for a single keyboard/dual computer setup. Im hitting this thing multiple times an hour. Nice little rubber feet to keep it steady, though I recommend throwing some velcro/tape on there. My favorite feature I didnt see at first, which is perfect for a device like this: It has two tiny blue LEDs right by each of the respective cables. Just faint enough to inform which port is active, but not blinding like some products like this can get to. A great little touch.

Wanted to use this to share my keyboard and mouse between my desktop PC and my work computer when working from home. The one flaw I will say this thing has is it only has 1 input USB port. This meant I had to use a hub if I wanted both keyboard and mouse connected. This actually ended up overly complicating what I was trying to do, as I didnt want to invest too much more money into it and I couldnt find an inexpensive and reliable USB hub. I dont know if there was a problem with the port, though each hub I tried had different issues, so I suspect the input port was fine. While it does work for switching that 1 USB port between 2 devices, it simply did not work out for me and I ended up replacing it with an IOGear switcher with 4 inputs, which works much better. Why not use a KVM switch? I didnt want to switch the V part of it, just the K and M.

My printer kept dropping its wireless connection and I share it with my wife. This solved the problem. Hooked up effortlessly.

I bought this because I already had one and wanted an additional one. When it arrived I was surprised that it came with USB Type B connectors instead of the USB Type A connectors the one I previously purchased had. It does come with adapter cables that convert USB Type B to USB Type A and the previous one had cables with USB Type A connectors on both ends so, no big crime there but it would be nice to have consistent connectors so adapters would not be necessary.

easy to use - easy to sit up

I was tired of switching my trackballs USB plug from a micro tower to a laptop sharing my desk. Now, the trackball and switch sit between the two computers keyboards. With the touch of a button, it switches from one computer to the other. The desktop, running Linux, connects almost instantly. The laptop, running an obsolete version of Windows makes me wait. Note that the computer makes me wait, not the UGREEN switch.

Ive been using it a little over a month now, and it works great for my needs! I use a 4-port USB hub with it so I can switch up to four devices between my work computer and personal computer. I usually only have one computer on at a time; so when I do turn it on, the switch defaults to that computer and I dont have to do anything to start using my devices. When I do have both computers on and I want to switch to the other one, I sometimes have to press the button twice before it switches. Thats kind of annoying, but it still works well. Also, the input/output naming seems to be reversed, at least for my thinking. You plug your computers into the input side, and devices into the output side. The way I think of it, the device is the input to the switch, and the switch sends the connection out to the computer. But in the end, I dont care if it calls one side foo and the other side bar, as long as it works as described--which it does!

Push button switch with blue light indicator is great. Product description says it cannot be bidirectional. But I have both downloaded to the printer and printed and uploaded a scan and that worked too. A great product that is MANUAL, which works great for my wife and I because our computer are both in the same room and we share both print and scan functions. Nice small size and black in color.

Works as described. The switch auto detects input so when I go from my docked work laptop to the tower below my desk the wireless keyboard and mouse I have hooked up automatically switches over. Theres a manual button as well so having both my laptop and tower on at the same time is no issue. 5 ft. cables give you enough length to make it around any typical desk setup which is nicer that some other products that come with shorter ones. Would highly recommend for anyone wishing to use a keyboard and mouse for multiple computers.

It eliminates the plug/unplug hassle of sharing one printer with two computers. The unit is passive and requires no additional power connections. Just plug in the two USB Type B connections from each computer and one additional USB Type A from the unit to USB Type B on the printer... DONE. The unit will automatically select the most recently attached computer, but will need to be switched back manually if the other computer is still running. This is as simple as pressing a button on the top of the unit. A blue indicator light shows which computer is connected and can be switched back and forth with the button. The switch ships with two 5 ft. USB Type A to Type B cables. If you already have one cable hooking up your printer, you wont need any additional ones, depending upon the distances between your components.
