Review on πŸ”€ USB Sharing Switch Hub Box for PC: 2-Port Selector, Printer Splitter for Sharing Scanner, Printers, Projector, Camera, and Keyboard Between Two Computers by Mark Quarterman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and useful when you have a peripheral that can be shared by multiple devices.

I wanted to be able to use my Logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad with devices in my gaming room without having to disconnect the adapter and switch between devices. With this switch I can use the keyboard for my Smart TV, Xbox One and gaming laptop that I have connected to the TV. I even connected my tablet to the box and it works on it too. The buttons for switching between devices feel solid, and I expect this metal-clad switch box will last. I also like that all connections are on the back of the box. Please note that this item does not come with USB cables. You will need cables with the less common Type B connector to connect the box to the appropriate Type A or Type C connector on the other end for your computer, console, etc. Your peripheral (e.g. mouse, keyboard, hub) plugs into the box using the familiar Type A connector. There is another listing for a similar box that comes with Type B cables. There are dozens of articles like this one. However, for this price I can't think of a better solution if you have multiple devices that need to share a single peripheral or hub (and you have USB Type B cables).

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
