Economical solution - USB cable

At the time of purchase, this set of two switches was cheaper than a set of similar products from other manufacturers. Note that this switch can transfer data - other cheaper switches can only transfer power - buyers beware, you get what you want for the right purpose. As a "built-in" switch, it functions exactly as expected. I use this for my webcam and have never had connection issues, lag or any other video/audio issues, while the 'off' position completely disables the camera which provides…

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • So far so good

Background ========== As far as my situation is concerned, I have several poorly performing USB mice where the USB receiver is controlled more by software than hardware is and can be disabled by Ghost's USB Selective Suspend. Therefore, with some occasional reboots/power outages etc, it may take a long time for the mouse to be recognized. It's more reliable when connected to a hub, and claims to be even better when the hub is powered by its own power supply. But the waiting and waiting can be a

Pros
  • Handy Thing
Cons
  • Exorbitant Price

Doesn't turn the device off completely

I don't know how this device is connected, but I can tell you for sure that the switch does NOT turn the device off completely - ie. behaves as if someone had unplugged the device's USB cable. Works on some devices. On others, like my camera, it goes into a zombie state which crashes the camera and causes it to lose its settings. With others I get errors in the operating system. Since each package comes with two switches, I don't think it's a faulty switch as both switches behave the same.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Very expensive

WILL NOT WORK for my webcam

I bought this for one purpose: to disable my webcam when not in use. This is the webcam I bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091FP22HQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details When this webcam is connected to this RIITOP USB extension cable with ON/OFF switch, rotates look at yourself but Windows 10 shows an error message and the camera does not and cannot work when connected to the RIITOP USB Extension Cable with ON/OFF Switch. This USB cable may work for other applications, but it…

Pros
  • . Specification: 28 AWG, Length: 3ft / 1.0m, USB Male to Switch: 2.48ft, Switch to USB Female: 0.36ft. Supports 5V, 2A Max
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Like many people, I currently work from home. While I don't call myself paranoid, I felt a little strange installing Teams (and the rest of the Office 365 suite) on my _personal_ desktop. Teams has access to your camera, microphone, and screen. Apparently these things aren't kept under wraps, but I thought it best not to risk it. I just turned off my UV camera and headset when not in use. Well it's a pain. What is better? RIITOP USB Extension Cable with ON/OFF Switch (Data and Power 2-Pack)…

Pros
  • Note: 1. It cannot support high-power electrical appliances. 2. When USB 3.0 or high version USB cable is connected, it can still run at USB 2.0 speed. Scope of delivery: 2x USB on/off cable
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Doesn't do what it says, no change

My MAME Arcade has an error in my Raspberry Pi 4 that forces me to remove a few USB cables or the USB controller for Dragon's Lair isn't working. (The Pi has four USB ports.) We all know that by constantly plugging and unplugging cables, you end up damaging something. My intention was to install these cables in such a way that I no longer have to remove/insert these cables. Instead, I could just turn off that switch and simulate the cable being disconnected from the Pi. Unfortunately, these…

Pros
  • Usage: pressing the switch to "-" disconnects the cable, pressing the switch to the other side with no sign connects the cable.
Cons
  • Doubtful
