Greater than one weekWorks great so far, I have it connected to an HDML Cloner box (with a 15ft usb 3.0 cable) and it works great back and forth to my pc (Linux and Windows 10 dual boot), Tested both a 128GB flash drive and a 1TB Western Digital Ext. HD (Worked great on either). The only thing I noticed when switching back to a different device than another PC is the Flash drive or Ext HD need to be unplugged and re-plugged back in to gain connection after selecting for those devices. This isnt a deal breaker for me.

> 3 dayI have an L-shaped work center with a PC station on each side so I can work on either by just swiveling my chair. I have an ink-sucking wireless printer but for heavy lifting, I always defer to Old Faithful, the Brother monochrome laser printer Ive been using for 7 years. This gizmo let me connect both PCs to Old Faithful. Easy peasy to set up. I labeled which side went to which PC and put a round yellow label (one of those things you put around the holes on loose-leaf paper - but I dont want to use the nickname for those) on the shift button for better visibility. Wish the light was brighter that indicates which PC is currently the feeder but its not worth taking off a star for that. Always nice to find an easy solution to an office tech issue.

> 3 dayVery good product. Fit and finish just good. I needed this for streamlining my Keyboard+Mouse combo to connect to two computers and switch between them. It does just that. I have successfully tried MAC+MAC, MAC+Win10 & Win10+Win10. All combinations work just fine. It cant be easier to use than this. Just plug and play. Very good value for money. Highly recommend. I wish I had a simillar product which could include USB+HDMI together. So, my plan is to click one switch and it shifts BOTH monitor and Keyboard/Mouse from one computer to another.

> 3 dayConnected my PC with Reaper and Laptop with Cubase 3 to one side. The side other goes to my UR-RT4 ADDA unit that then outputs sound to a speakers. Can easily switch between audio sources. Works A+++++

> 3 dayI had previously reviewed that the switch only came with one cord. This was inaccurate: it came with two. For reasons I cant explain, I couldnt find one of them. The switch itself works fine.

> 3 dayIm using two desktops: a nearly 20-year-old XP machine and a Windows 11 computer. I print from both. This little gadget automatically switches between the two. I dont even think about it.

> 3 dayIncredibly 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.

> 3 dayI have two computers hooked up my computer monitor. I change the monitor back an forth with the input buttons on the side of the monitor. I have a single wireless keyboard and mouse. I use the Ugreen USB Sharing 2-port Switch to switch the keyboard and mouse to the appropriate computer. It works perfectly. It is totally simple to use. Just push the select button on the top one time when you want to switch to the other computer. I cut a 1/8th inch wide stripe of the glue-side of a post-it note and stuck it between the two little led lights, so that I would tell which side is lit...since the box is in a dark area beside the monitor. It works totally perfectly. Ive used it for a few months. Totally reliable. Best value for the money.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIve 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!
