Intermittent outages

Everything seemed fine for the first month. Then magically, as soon as the 30-day return window closed, this thing started going haywire. On PC #2, the computer randomly stopped recognizing the mouse and keyboard I had attached. It reconnects after a few seconds, but when you're typing or gaming, stopping the mouse and keyboard suddenly at random times is unacceptable. We tested the ports by connecting a mouse and keyboard directly to the port. There were no problems on PC #2. So, back at the…

Gets the job done even for just one PC and one device.

I made this to try a little off-label: Simulate unplugging and plugging in bulky USB devices or drivers that sometimes need to unplug and plug the USB cable back in for it to work properly. In this case I only connected one of the Type B ports to the PC and one of the Type A ports to the device under test/development. Pressing the button will switch to a different port in the same way, so the PC will see the device disappear and then recalculate when the button is pressed again. Surprisingly…

Note that this is a simple switch that basically performs a disconnect and reconnect with the push of a button, rather than having to physically unplug and plug in the USB ports. This means that if you press to switch computers, the devices on one

Use as a KVM switch (no "V ")

I use it as a KVM switch for my 2 laptops during WFH: working MacBook Pro, personal Lenovo Win 10 box. Works fine so far. The Windows box always makes an audible notification when an input is removed/added while the Mac does not. But that's okay, a little audio feedback isn't really a bad thing. It works well in this switching function for keyboard and mouse input. Even 2 sets of cables are included: The complete package is immediately ready for use! The box is cute and small, with some weight…
