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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as it should. As long as there are no problems. DISABLE USB selective suspend settings!

*** MAKE SURE YOU PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY. ****** MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT USB Lenovo p1 laptop and gaming desktop (ASUS motherboard). Connection cable: - I use 2 cables Apple MacBook Pro 2 meters Type C - Type C. Power supply: - Type-C cable included - Apple Type-C charger. Mouse: both Logitech RGB devices First initialization: The first time the device took a few seconds to recognize the connected devices once everything was loaded in the operating system. I let the operating system see everything. Disconnect and switch between computers: I can disconnect and reconnect the cables from the switch when the computer is on or off, no problem. Switching takes the usual time for the operating system to recognize the keyboard and mouse, witching may take a few seconds, the time depends on the speed of the computer. CONS: The BIG con is the lack of power adapter and connection cables! I suspect you need an efficient power supply and reliable connection cables. I'm not sure how much power is required for it to work properly, so I went with the Apple power adapter and connection cables. Conclusion I am very satisfied with the product and have not found any problems so far. The remote control is a BIG PLUS, just no feedback on what computer it is connected to. As a workaround, I have two different RGB settings between the two computers, so my keyboard doesn't light up the same way. I love this product.

Pros
  • Over Current Protection
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
