Review on πŸ’» USB Switch Selector 2x2: Connectively Share 2 USB Devices between 2 Computers | Convenient 2 Port USB 2.0 Switch for Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner, Printer | One-Click Switching Enabled | Includes 2 USB Cables by Chris Castro

Revainrating 1 out of 5

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 heavy for such a simple device, which is nice because it tends to stay on my desk.

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Some Trouble
