USB 3.0 Switch 2 Computers share 4-Port USB3.1 USB3.0 - Select 2 PC by One Panel Button, 4 USB Peripheral Hub for Mouse Keyboard Printer PC, Mac Windows Linux, 2pc USB-A Cable SW24U3L

I have a setup where I would like to share peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) and monitors between two computers: my work-provided laptop and my own computer.I have a setup for sharing monitors, so I needed a USB switch to let me quickly select which of the two computers would be connected to my peripherals. I tried a couple of other ones, but they were flimsy and would often not be recognized by the work laptop. Also, they were poorly designed, with the computer ports on one side, and the peripheral ports on the other side, making it difficult to put the switch in arm's length without also having a mess of cables right there.I bought this one because it has the two computer ports AND the keyboard and mouse port on one side - brilliant (well, you'd think this would be obvious)! There are two more peripheral ports on the opposite side - OK, so I still have a little cable mess, but much less than before.This switch is brushed metal and looks great, very high-end and much nicer than typical cheap dull plastic ones. It's also heavy enough that having several USB cables attached to it, draping off the side of my desk, doesn't constantly shift it around.And - it has a remote control! There is an infrared port right on the front of the switch, plus if you want to mount the switch under your desk or out of sight line, there is also a cabled infrared extender - you plug this into the switch, then put the little infrared receiver alone on your desk. The remote itself works perfectly. This has let me put the switch farther away so my desk surface in arm's length is that much cleaner now.So far switching between computers has been flawless, no failures to recognize peripherals and none of those annoying Windows "USB device could not be recognized" errors. Highly recommend this unit if you want to share peripherals between computers.If I could change anything about it, I would move the two remaining front USB ports to the sides, so that what I'm looking at (the front face) is uncluttered. But at least my mouse and keyboard are plugged into the back now.I would also love having hotkey support, but having the remote is good enough.Overall, strongly recommended.

Might be the only USB switch with some ports on the back of the unit. My only wish is that it would auto switch to the first detected active computer, but it's not a huge deal. I can see the IR remote being very useful though I do not use it.

Remote works beautifully, extremely low latency/overhead, and there are lots of ports to connect many devices to. I bought a USB hub, thinking I would need it, but I don't! This has all of the USB ports that I need.

This was exactly what I was looking for:- 4 usb ports for kb, m, webcam, headset- remote so i could hide switch under desk and not deal with seeing wiresIt worked fantastic for the first few days and then the connection started getting finicky. Headset would cut in and out, mouse would cut in and out. Webcam, keyboard would work fine.Then a week later it stops working completely. If you're looking for something long term this isn't it

Why does anyone think a box with cables coming out on all sides is a good idea? Finally one with all the necessary ports on the back. Uses A to A cables like many others, but they are provided. Also a remote and remote extender are provided (not currently using, but nice). Would like to have at least one shared port on the back besides the mouse and keyboard connectors.This is my third one of these USB switches. The previous two, the mouse and keyboard would quit working after switching sometimes and I'd have to push the button multiple times to get them to work. And one only supported a 3-button mouse. All 5-buttons work with this one. No problems with this one after about a month so far.

I work from home and had to find the setup that would allow me reuse my peripherals with two PCs: my personal gaming rig and the work machine. My main goals were to de clutter the desk and avoid doubling of any devices.My monitors have multiple inputs, so I just hooked both computers without a need for a KVM switch. For everything else I am using this switch.I had it for about a month and so far it’s working great. I have quite a few devices hooked up though it: A mechanical RGB keyboard, a mouse, a Stream Deck, and a Yeti Blue Microphone. I had to use a powered usb splitter, but haven’t encountered any problems.I only wish that instead of a dinky IR extension and a remote, there was an option for a physical button - on an extension cord. It feels very 90’s to be using anything IR on my PC again.

Lots of disconnecting issues with this after a month of use. I can’t recommend it based on that but when it worked well in the beginning it worked great

After battling non working KVM switchers, switched over (hey-oh) to this to manage work from home days with a Mac Mini and MbP.

I wouldn't recommend it. For about the first two months, the switch was great. Loved having the remote to switch the inputs. But since last week, it is constantly disconnecting my headphones, at seemingly random intervals, anywhere between 30s to 5mins. No change to my computer. There hasn't been any new installations, no new computer updates. I use this for my work PC's headset, so it is frustrating to have it lose audio and microphone mid conversations.

The description mentioned can connect monitor, but will not work. Don't know why written so.

Have been using for a few months to give it a good try and the keyboard drop most of the time. I have to reswitch between Host 1 and Host 2 to (sometimes) make it work again. Mouse stop working and then rework after a few second when nothing have been requested from the switcher.I do not recommand at all.
