Review on ABLEWE 4-Port USB Switch Selector: KVM Switcher for Mouse, πŸ”€ Keyboard, Scanner, Printer - Includes One-Button Switch and 2 USB Cables by Matt Buchanan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Intermittently restarts and/or changes randomly

At first it seemed like a nice little device. The USB connectors are a bit tight as other reviews have mentioned, but they loosen up a bit after three or four insertions. I used the USB headphone switch and noticed that the music occasionally cut out for a second or two. It was an unpredictable interval when he switched off; Sometimes it was 10 minutes, sometimes a few hours. At first I thought it would be a different spec (the headphones were new too, and I had a few other new gadgets on the way too), but after trying different configurations I was able to confirm the rest of the spec. worked correctly and therefore concluded that it must be a USB switch. Removing the switch from the equation solved the problem. My guess is that either the switch reset or spontaneously switched to a different input for about a second and then switched back. Needless to say, I didn't touch the button on the USB switch when this happened. This might not be too much of a problem for some types of USB hardware like a printer, but it's not the best option for music. I gave it 3 stars (rather than 1) because A) I don't know if I have a bad block or if it's a design flaw, and B) given the high quality of other aspects of the switch, I don't know if it is is a design flaw and The fact that the block can be useful in other situations seemed like 1 star wasn't enough. difficult. Just be careful - if you want to listen to music via USB, this device may not be for you.
