    I had previously reviewed that the switch only came with one cord. This was inaccurate: it came with two. For reasons I cant explain, I couldnt find one of them. The switch itself works fine.

    I mean this could be a two word review. You need a 2 port USB switch? Buy this. It works. Here is how Im using it: I recently got an iMac and had originally hoped to use it in Target Monitor Mode but I missed the part where Apple stopped supporting that in 2014. No big deal, I have a monitor for my Win10/Hacintosh but I wanted to use just one mouse and Keyboard for both. I use a KVM at work so I am very used to using multiple systems and multiple screens. So I started looking fo solutions and asking around. Mouse: First purchase was a Logitech Triathlon. Besides being a really nice mouse, it can connect to up to three computers. There is a side switch that lets you switch between the computers. I have the USB dongle plugged into the Win10/Hacintosh because it lacks Bluetooth. It connected to the iMac using bluetooth automatically, no action by me. Switching is easy and as long as you are logged in, you can do a lot with just the mouse. As an example, I often use the Win10 system as a YouTube player. I dont need to type anything. Keyboard: For the Keyboard I got a UGreen USB Sharing Switch. This is a simple one in, two out switch. I ran my Red Dragon K580 in and sent it out using the supplied USB cables. The box is about the size of a pack of playing cars, flat black with a tiny, not very bright (in a good way) blue LED that moves to indicate one of the two cables. Its simple and it just works. Very nice. So now I have both systems sharing a Keyboard and Mouse and each driving their own monitor. Its a setup I like a lot and while it would have been nice to send everything to the iMac screen, I would lose the ability to have YouTube running in one system completely independent of the other like I can now. Total cost was $55 - $33 for the mouse and $14 for the switch. You would be hard pressed to find a good KVM for $55 and you would still need a mouse. Additionally by splitting the functions like I did I can switch just the mouse or just the keyboard if I choose. Downside of course is that switching is two presses not one but I can live with it. If you need/want to share a keyboard and mouse between two systems, I recommend this setup.

    I had a 4x2 UGREEN switch and it worked with my MIXAMP to swap sound between my PC and xbox, so I figured Id buy this product, from the same company, but only as a 1x2 seeing how its only one device. Well, it doesnt work properly. I use this product with my mixamp and I get static audio on both devices. I use it on the original UGREEN 4x2 switch and it works just fine. Luckily I can still use this for a keyboard between my work PC and Normal PC, so its not a TOTAL loss, but honestly, IDK why their 4x2 switch would work for audio but this cant. Disappointing. 2 stars because it didnt do what I wanted it to do. If you need this for just a mouse or Keyboard - it works fine. 5 stars in that aspect. Ill just even it out and give it 3

    It works okay but its a dumb design. 2 usb cables plug in the back, and one in the front. If all 3 plugged in the back it would sit nicely on the desk with a small footprint. However one cable sticking out the front messes up the whole look. If that doesnt bother you, it works perfectly.

    I bought this switch to use at work because I was frequently having to unplug my USB headset from my computer and plug it into my desk phone (VTech/Nextiva SIP phone), or vice versa. I had some concerns that Windows and/or the phone would behave as though it was setting up a new device every time I used the switch, but that has not been the case. Both devices act like the headset remains connected. According to my coworkers, audio from the headset through the switch sounds good. Setting up the switch is simple thanks to the two included USB-A to USB-P cables. I did try connecting a Jabra headset cradle to the switch to see if it would work as well. I believe its a Jabra Pro 9450, or it looks exactly the same as that model. Unfortunately, the cradle would just click constantly and never successfully connect to the PC or desk phone. Im speculating here, but I believe it may have been due to the cradle having its own PC/desk phone switch.

    Hubby got it so we could share our hardwired printer. Saves a lot of time, with a quick click we can share without the pain of getting up or, getting a second cable.

    I have two computers hooked up my computer monitor. I change the monitor back an forth with the input buttons on the side of the monitor. I have a single wireless keyboard and mouse. I use the Ugreen USB Sharing 2-port Switch to switch the keyboard and mouse to the appropriate computer. It works perfectly. It is totally simple to use. Just push the select button on the top one time when you want to switch to the other computer. I cut a 1/8th inch wide stripe of the glue-side of a post-it note and stuck it between the two little led lights, so that I would tell which side is lit...since the box is in a dark area beside the monitor. It works totally perfectly. Ive used it for a few months. Totally reliable. Best value for the money.
