Works well: KVM switches

Like many people, I've been working from home for the past few months. I needed a solution that would allow me to use my existing mouse and keyboard with both my home and work computers. This switch controls four USB ports, but I don't use them all. I connected a cable to a mini USB-C hub connected to my work. Computer. I connected the second cable to a USB hub connected to my home computer. It's convenient to have a wired remote control. I hid it between the router and the computer. The buttons at the top of the selector also work well. The selector is a solid metal box. My USB transmitters were stuck, but I was able to reattach them. There is a tangle of wires that I try to hide behind my computer and router. But this breakout box allowed me to keep my current keyboard and mouse, which I really like. It was also a lot cheaper than buying a new multi-channel mouse and keyboard. One particularly nice feature of this switch is that it draws power from each of the four USB-to-computer ports. This way the box still works when only one computer is on. Some switches only draw power from a specific port.
