Review on πŸ’» IOGEAR GUS402 Peripheral Sharing Switch: 2 Computers, 4-Port USB 2.0 Efficiency by Travis Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simply amazing for computers and accessories

After reading the reviews I was quite worried, so I prepared in advance to replace the switch that everyone was complaining about, I was also afraid that the switch didn't work well with OSX/Win10 Well, although I'm a fan of the mechanical switch, I found the switch workable and decided to use it for now. Eventually I'll move one of the LEDs to the switch and install a mechanical switch there, Cherry MX, so I can tell things apart too, but not now as the switch was 100% permanent for me. Both OSX and Win10 instantly recognize my custom mechanical keyboard and Logitech G602, so I love this switch, I couldn't customize my work without it. I also checked the USB current consumption with a USB meter, there were no anomalies, at least I couldn't see them, the current consumption did not exceed 2 devices together, it was 0.03A, voltage 4.99V. Update: I agree that the button gets annoying when used, I will cut the cable, open the cable and install a simple mechanical switch as soon as I can.

Pros
  • Port focus LEDs for active computers
Cons
  • Some difficulties
