Review on 🔁 Plugable USB 2.0 Switch for Easy One-Button USB Device Port Sharing Between Two Computers (AB Switch) - Enhanced SEO by Mac Quigley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works great with a shared USB stick. Instantly switches between sources.

I'm using this to share a USB sound card between my PC and my PS4. I use a Sound Blaster X G6 in combination with Beyerdynamic Custom Game headphones. Before making this switch, I was using the Plugable USB Switch 3.0, which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Sharing-One-Button- Swapping-Computers/dp/B00JX3Q28Y/ref=pd_yo_rr_psims_2/133- 2274799- 0834266 ?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00JX3Q28Y&pd_rd_r=4db5db57-8c04-44f2-a6db-a554972551a4&pd_rd_w=6i679&pd_rd_wg=cYwMR&pf_rd_p=93e0e08e-a359-4b83-8c36-9a937f08616e&pf_rd_r=61H06XC0B5DJXJ02AJNH&psc= 1&refRID=61H06XC0B5DJXJ02AJNHПроблема с этим заключалась в том, что когда я переключался между ПК и PS4 (and vice versa), it took a few seconds before it actually switched because for some reason the sound card was turning off and on again. it turns on again every time. This means that the switchover is instantaneous. When I press the toggle button, it takes about 2 seconds for the system (PC or PS4) to recognize the sound card. Also, the sound card never turns off and you can use it with PS4 while listening to your PC. . Conversely, you can have it on your PC and still listen to your PS4 (e.g. you can play some PS4 games while listening to music on your PC). However, you need to switch it to PS4 if you want to use the mic! Overall this is an amazing product and works flawlessly for what I wanted. I would imagine this would work just as well for any other device.
