🔁 USB 3.0 Switch Selector: Share 4 USB Devices between 2 Computers with Hotkey and Mouse Switching - Includes 2 Pack USB Cable Review

I bought a JideTech USB 3.0 switch due to an issue with my existing hub and it fixed everything. My existing hub is on the right and I will continue to use it alongside the new Switch for a number of reasons, but as I said the Switch does exactly what I need it to do. I don't use a keyboard or mouse over the hub, so I can't test this feature, and that's why I disabled the "Hotkeys" feature on the Switch. I have a JideTech KVM that I use and it was KVM that made me buy their switch. I also found

I use this switch to connect a mechanical keyboard to both a custom Windows 10 PC case and a 2020 Mac Mini and neither machine has trouble connecting recognizing keystrokes. I'm thankful that this little device has a hotkey feature that seems rare among other switches sold on Revain. No doubt I know I'd get tired of using a physical button to switch ports, especially since I tend to start both machines at the same time, so the hotkey feature was a must. That being said, the little guide that…

I recently bought this switch because I work from home and my work computer is just for work. So I have to use the second computer for everything else. Having two keyboards on my desk caused me to stretch my arms between them and I developed neurological symptoms in my hands. When I finally realized that I decided to buy a switch. I use this switch to connect a wired keyboard to a Windows 10 computer and an old Windows 8 ThinkPad laptop I got from work. Both machines recognize keystrokes. I…

Good product after a few days of use. Responsive, helpful customer support. Bought to switch between work laptop and personal desktop/gaming gear. Switches to no-hotkeys mode quickly and easily. Unfortunately, my Logitech G910/G400 keyboard/mouse combo is not compatible with the hotkey toggle feature. The Logitech Gaming Software no longer recognizes the G910 keyboard. The Logitech G400 mouse showed tracking issues when detected. Fortunately, hotkey toggling can be disabled with a switch on the

I use this switch to share a WD Passport USB 3.0 portable drive and various USB drives between Linux Ubuntu desktop and Mac OS Catalina desktop sharing. Switching between them works fine (I use the button above). There are a few things to consider. External power supply needs to be added for the portable hard drive to work. The switch comes with a USB/cylinder power cable, so you only need to provide a power supply with a minimum output current of 2.0A. There is also a slight delay when…

I'm using this with a Windows 10 PC and a 2019 16" MacBook with a Kinesis mechanical keyboard, 2 Logitech mice with their separate receivers (on purpose), and webcam, all bus powered. Now everything works fine after the replacement from the seller. The first Switch had an issue where the mouse and keyboard would behave strangely after every 2 or 3 attempts to switch, causing ghost input. The seller said it was a firmware problem and sent me a new unit - no problems since. I mostly use the…

I bought it because I wanted to use the hotkey function. But hotkeys are Ctrl+F4 or Shift+Numlock etc. Hotkeys are a series of keys that you press simultaneously to trigger a function. To do this, you need to press Ctrl, then press Ctrl, press 1 or 2, and then press Enter. This is a series of keystrokes, NOT a hotkey. And why would you create a hotkey function that requires 4 keystrokes, at this point you might as well use a physical button. So if you are looking for a switch with HOTKEY, skip…

I have some problems with the product. Using the button seems to work, but the keyboard shortcut doesn't work for me. Sometimes the keyboard won't connect to the target computer without disconnecting and reconnecting. I was able to change the settings on the device and experiment with different options. I arranged a return with the seller and he contacted me and even sent me a new one with a different firmware. We went back and forth many times trying to solve the problem but to no avail. I…
