Review on Efficiently Switch and Power USB-C Keyboard, Mouse, and Peripherals with IOGEAR USB-C 2-Port Switch (GUS4C2), 2x4 by Corey Burgess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as it should. As long as there are no problems. DISABLE USB selective suspend settings!

*** MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLUG IN THE AC ADAPTER ****** MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE USB PORT Selective suspend settings *** * I am connecting the switch to a Lenovo p1 laptop and gaming desktop computer (ASUS motherboard). Connection cables: - I use 2 cables Apple MacBook Pro 2 meters Type-C - Type-C. Power supply: - Type-C cable included - Apple Type-C charger. RGB DevicesFirst Time Initialization: It took a few seconds for the device to detect the devices for the first time. I connected everything as everything loaded into the OS. I allowed the operating system to recognize everything. Disconnect and switch between computers: I can disconnect and reconnect cables from the switch when the computer turns on or off with no issues. Switching takes the usual time for the operating system to recognize the keyboard and mouse, witching may take a few seconds, the time depends on the computer. eed.MINUS: The BIG disadvantage is the lack of a power supply and connection cable! I suspect you need an efficient power supply and reliable connection cables. I'm not sure how much power is required for it to work properly, so I went with an Apple power supply. and connection cable. Conclusion I am very satisfied with the product and have not found any problems so far. The remote control is a BIG PLUS, just no feedback on what computer it is connected to. As a workaround, I have two different RGB settings. between two computers so my keyboard doesn't light up the same way. I like the product.
