Very good cables and connections

I bought this to switch keyboard and mouse between two computers and maybe on rare occasions more computers. It works well. My wired keyboard has a USB port (actually 2) that plugs into the wireless mouse receiver. It's nice and small too, and I like that the buttons are on the front and all the USB ports are on the back. And the price was very good. I already have a lot of good old USB AB cables, so I could pay less for a cordless device. To switch two monitors between two computers, I use anโ€ฆ

Ideal USB cables for cables and connections

Exactly what we needed! My husband and I now work from home and only have one printer. It's a lot easier than unplugging the printer cord and running it back and forth. Very easy to set up and switch from one computer to another!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Low repairability

I switch between Windows 10, macOS and Linux computers about 10 times a day. This mechanical switching of this device works great - it's like physically disconnecting it from one computer and plugging it into another. I like the tactile and audible feedback of a mechanical switch, but the noise can disturb another person trying to sleep nearby. Since only one peripheral can be connected to this device, I connect the keyboard and mouse to a USB hub and then plug in the hub. to the switch. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Modern

I wanted to be able to use my Logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad with devices in my gaming room without having to disconnect the adapter and switch between devices. With this switch I can use the keyboard for my Smart TV, Xbox One and gaming laptop that I have connected to the TV. I even connected my tablet to the box and it works on it too. The buttons for switching between devices feel solid, and I expect this metal-clad switch box will last. I also like that all connections are on the backโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Solution for Shared Printers with Multiple Computers

In the latest reality of working from home during the COVID19 pandemic, many workers are using multiple laptops or computers with a common print source. Although wireless printers are widely used, the printer is often not recognized by another computer. This leads to a terrible connection to one computer, prints your work, and then transfers it back to another. This is counterproductive, to say the least. I did some research on splitters and bought a few that didn't work. FINALLY, this splitter

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • No Color Required

Fairly heavy metal body, feels solid

Bought to switch keyboard and mouse (connected to hub) between PC. For that it works great. This is a fairly solid metal case. The buttons feel a bit cheap but seem to offer a solid connection. It's quite a low-tech device. No electricity, all connections inside are mechanical at the push of a button. A lot less mistakes.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • High price

mouse usage. No questions.

I bought one of these to test with the Logitech G700 gaming mouse. It works as described with no errors and took about 13 seconds to set up. I'm ordering another one for my keyboard. *** Don't get confused, *** The markings on the back are a bit misleading. You need one of these "per device" things. So if you want to use three input devices (mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) you need three of these switches. Each can share a USB device with up to four machines, but each switch only accepts inputโ€ฆ

Pros
  • is clear even the old
Cons
  • approx.

Highly recommended: Cables and Connections

At home I was constantly hopping from one laptop to another because one was connected to the printer and the other was connected to my work laptop. Last week, on a whim, I hooked up my printer to my work laptop, and to my surprise, it immediately recognized it and started working. Now all I had to do was find a way to avoid having to switch cables from one laptop to another every time I wanted to print something. I went to Revain looking for some kind of printer hub and found this. I literallyโ€ฆ

  • Best in Niche

Missed Target: Computers & Accessories

The build quality of the metal case is excellent as advertised. Buttons were responsive, but not always. When it worked, not all inputs worked even if the input switch was activated. This was installed in an office that uses 3 printers. DYMO label markers, Brother laser printers and Canon inkjet printers. They were all connected with brand new working cables, so I know that wasn't the cause. In the end I gave them back and went the other way.

Pros
  • A Dream Come True
Cons
  • Older Model
