Review on πŸ–₯️ 4-Port USB Switch Selector: AIMOS USB KVM Switcher for Sharing 4 Computers and 4 USB Devices with One-Button Swapping - Ideal for Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, Scanner (Includes 4 USB Cables) by Hikeboy Ramey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little tool: 4 inputs and 4 outputs.

I tried different options before I landed on this device and I really like it for the following reasons: This way you can directly choose the computer you want to connect to. Only other similar devices. There is a button to switch between inputs and it's annoying when you have more than 2 computers. Also, these buttons aren't mechanical and there's a green LED to show which input is selected. Yes, there is some "bleeding" from the light, but it's not very annoying, and it becomes irrelevant if you're just using a wired remote on your desk. Optional wired remote This welcome feature lets you "hide" this device and reduce the clutter of your desk."The thing is, this device has no mounting holes, no big deal. Note that the wired remote control is detachable, so you can reduce clutter on your desk when you don't need it. - Four ports available for devices (output) This may seem like a small thing, although I believe 4 ports is the ideal number for everything you need, other similar devices only have 2 ports, forcing you to use a USB hub extension like this to use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWF5U0M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 While this may seem normal, the conn owing one of the inputs to the dock makes a difference. Good idea. This is a compact device. Even if you don't use the wired remote control that comes with this unit, it doesn't take up much space. The metal body feels solid and doesn't look cheap. Includes 4 input cables. cable and makes this element ready for use "out of the box". Other devices I tried and used before making the switch are the following: 4 in + 2 out, 4 electronic toggles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6VSFC8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc =14 inputs + 1 output, 4 mechanical buttons h: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5IXEFJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=12 inputs + 4 outputs, 1 electronic button: https :/ / www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXXQKGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Output switches 1 and 2 required the use of a USB hub to expand to 4 outputs in my case, causing problems with my connected dock - Station laptop (USB serial connection). Exit 4 was great but there were only 2 entrances and I needed 3.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
