Works great with computers and accessories

Switches automatically depending on which computer turns it on. So far no problems. Does exactly what I bought it for. A keyboard and mouse is used by two computers. My monitor has multiple inputs so I didn't need a KVM switch.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great little USB switch

I use this as a KVM without the video part between my work and home computers. I hadn't had a mouse or keyboard plugged in once or twice, but I've found that if I wait just 1 full second after pressing Shift, it connects every time.

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Terrible product, keeps turning on and off

Product so bad it's completely useless. If you're unfamiliar with the sound Windows 10 makes when it detects a new USB device, you'll quickly learn and hate the sound after trying to use that device. I'm not sure what the problem is, but the mouse and keyboard will disconnect and then reconnect every few seconds.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Minor issues

Works great, easy to use, takes up little space

I use this switch in conjunction with an HDMI switch and a pair of DVI to HDMI adapters to switch between two old to share Windows 10 PCs A: 1) wired USB keyboard 2) wired USB mouse 3) external USB drive (has its own power supply) 4) old DVI monitor The combo works fine. There's also no need for a power button unless you're using a more powerful USB device that isn't powered by its own adapter.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...

Great switcher, best computer components

Like many here, I was looking for a solution to share my keyboard and mouse between my home and work computers. I first looked at a Bluetooth keyboard from Logitech that connects to multiple devices. But I found the keyboard to be a bit pricey and lacking a number pad. But this switch is good! Judging by Revane's picture, I thought it was quite large. But in fact, it's even smaller than the size of your palm. The Switch also automatically detects which computer is on, so you don't have to…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Great customer service

I bought this switch to connect to my Plugable USB 3.0 docking station to switch multiple monitors, keyboards and wireless mice between work and personal laptops. I've only had one issue getting my monitors to switch properly, but I don't know if everyone will have the same issue unless they have the same setup as me (3 monitors + laptop screen). If you're just using the switch to switch between USB devices, that's great, but if you plug a USB dock into it, you might run into problems. I…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Useless features

Pros: Can switch between two computers under certain conditions. Sometimes it even switches when you don't want it to! The wires look fleshy. Cons: I totally agree that USB ports are too narrow. MY GOD. But if, like me, you don't believe the negative reviews, at least use cables you don't mind damaging. When your computer is in sleep mode or only goes into sleep mode for 1 second, it will not be activated by this switch with either mouse or keyboard. I had to plug in a second USB mouse just to…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Negative
