Review on StarTech.com USB 3.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch - Connect up to 4 Computers - Mac/Windows/Linux Compatible - USB A/B Switch - High Speed USB Switch (HBS304A24A) by Victor Correa

I have a triple monitor setup for my Windows 10 gaming pc but wanted one of my Linux Mint 19.1 mini pc monitors for home use coding and scripting use. However, I've always wanted just a keyboard and mouse on my desk. So I searched for different types of KVM and found this USB switch! I really like this thing, it worked right out of the box for Windows and Linux Mint. It's a pretty quick switch between the two, and I have two extra USB-A ports and two extra USB-B ports. So if I wanted to expand, I could do that. and the actual plastic trim on top. The 5V connector isn't needed if you're using regular USB devices, and I think if you're plugged into the USB 3.0 ports for USB bus power, you'll be more than fine. But the presence of an additional connector and the absence of a power supply for it is very annoying. The plastic of the upper part of the product is made of glossy plastic. The rest of the product is made of matte plastic. Therefore, there were fingerprints when unpacking and scratches when wiping. Absolutely terrible design aesthetic in my opinion. Completely destroys the optics. All in all, if you're looking for a 4 PC 4 USB hub that switches quickly, then this is my recommendation. Amazing product and will no doubt buy more if I have to. Let's hope StarTech settles for the shiny plastic finish, absolutely no consumer wants shiny plastic so please stop using it.
