Very easy setup! Best in Computers & Accessories

This is a very simple switch to use two sources for one printer. Just connect two sources and then press the button you're typing with. I love the simplicity and I love that it's a button rather than a switch. Makes switching much easier. I'm not sure how well the picture shows the light, but it's very, very faint unless you're looking straight at it. Sometimes it's hard to tell which printer is selected. Since the printer is black on black, it's also hard to tell where the button is - it's in…

Pros
  • Something in
Cons
  • Not bad

Works as described for computer components

I've been using it for just over a month and it meets my needs perfectly! I use a 4-port USB hub so I can switch up to four devices between my work computer and my PC. Normally I only have one computer running at a time; So when I turn it on, the switch is set to This PC by default and I don't have to do anything to use my devices. When I have both computers on and want to switch to the other, I sometimes have to double tap the button before it toggles. It's a little annoying, but it still…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • New competitors

The switch never worked and the scanner died

According to the description of the UGREEN USB Sharing Switch, it is intended for use with printers and scanners (USB Device Hub for Printer Scanner). I had a CanoScan 9000F that worked flawlessly. I've used it on two computers, manually plugging the USB cable back and forth as needed. For simplicity, I figured a switch would make the process easier and more automated. I connected the scanner and two computers to the UGREEN USB Sharing Switch. The switch didn't switch from one computer to…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Limited number of applications to use

I'm reducing my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. The switch periodically interrupts the signal for a split second. It's not enough to interfere with typing or mouse pointer movement, but it's enough to thwart many tasks. This affects anything that requires you to hold down a key, but mouse click-and-hold is the most noticeable. For example, dragging a window or selecting text. It's also a big problem when trying to edit photos. This sometimes causes a single click to be read as a double click…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Damaged

The right combination of simplicity and functionality for working from home. USB Hub Extension

Works great with the right combination of simplicity and functionality at an affordable price. Bought to simplify setup for working from home to share mouse and keyboard. I specifically chose this one because it doesn't require an external power supply like some others. Switching is easy with a minimal blue LED indicator. It seems to have an automatic switch when it detects a connection to a new device and I've had no trouble getting it to work. The only thing I can think of for this product is

Pros
  • Rugged Design
Cons
  • Almost Everything
