Review on πŸ–±οΈ Enhanced Cateck USB 3.0 Aluminum Sharing Switch Selector - 4 Port Peripheral Switcher Adapter Hub for PC, Printer, Scanner, Mouse, Keyboard with One Click Swapping and 2-Pack USB 3.0 Male Cable by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Randomly stopped working

This USB hub/switch should allow me to switch between my work and home computer without moving the USB sticks for my external keyboard and mouse. Sometimes it works, but other times the connection drops for no apparent reason. Multiple times. This happens on both computers - one with VPN and the other not. One is HP with Windows 10, the other is Lenovo with Windows 8. Nothing touches, hits or rests on the switch. It is within 12-18 inches of any component in line of sight. There is no excuse for this outage except that it is a huge POS. Or doesn't work with Windows...which defeats the purpose and is therefore a useless POS. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • is confusing
