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

This review is for the UGREEN USB 2.0 Sharing Switch 2-to-1 as purchased in late March 2022. The product box says that this device was made in China and the part No. is 30345. I have an NEC display with a built-in two port KVM that I use to switch between an M1 MacBook Air and a Dell PC but I also needed to switch my mouse and keyboard (only) between those two computers and a Mac mini and this USB switch has worked flawless for that purpose (mouse is from Dell, keyboard is by Apple). Ive been using it regularly for the past week and have had no problems. It takes maybe a second for the computer to recognize the mouse and keyboard when performing the switch (i.e. its not instantaneous) but I like the fact that it will automatically switch to either device if one or the other is no longer being powered (so, if only one of the devices is currently turned on the UGREEN will automatically switch to that device). The construction seems adequate and the plugs seem secure but note that the case is made entirely of plastic. Ive even used the two USB 2.0 cables that came with the product (one to connect to the NEC KVM and the other to the Mac mini). At $20 U.S. this is a bit more expensive than some of the other switches but it seems to be working very well so Im not going to complain greatly about the cost, but only four stars because of the price.

Works OK

easy to use - easy to sit up

Easy to setup and works to join two computers to one printer, in my case.

Disappointed that it doesnt work well with my system (Windows XP / Windows 10) - the switching process seemed to lose track of the removable drives and getting them set up again was a hassle. Tried a couple of times, restarting between. Easier to return to physically switching the hub, alas.

We work from home and my printer stopped working. Bought the switch to share my husbands printer. Works great.

I dont have a lot of bad reviews left. But there is a big problem. I connect this with my keyboard. The key is not pressed or suddenly kept pressed while typing. Very often. I got it yesterday, but Im seriously thinking about throwing it away. ------------------------------------- 13/05/2019 now I will correct the above by using it so far. I have two USB switch products. home : Rosewill USB 3.0 Sharing Switch Box office : UGREEN USB Sharing Switch USB 2.0 Previously, I thought it was UGreen Switchs problem because it didnt have the above problem, but yesterday the same problem happened with Rosewill Switch. The point at which the problem occurs is when I first press the key mapped in karabinar-elements as soon as I switch to switch Although it is the first time yesterday, it is judged that the same problem is not a hardware problem and the review is corrected. Rosewill: No symptoms and then occurs. UGreen: Symptoms are frequent and decreasing.

I was very happy to learn such a device even existed. When it arrived, I was very pleased of its size, ease of operation a d performance.

I used it to connect two computers to one printer. It works great!

I purchased this to add an additional computer to a 4-port KVM switch so I could incorporate a fifth computer in my environment. This unit works great. I can now switch the the appropriate position on the KVM and use this device to switch between two computers linked to that position. The device works exactly as I expected and is well worth the purchase price.
