UGREEN USB Sharing Switch USB 2.0 Peripheral Switcher Adapter Box 2 Computer Share 1 USB Device Hub for Printer Scanner with 2 Pack USB 2.0 Male Cable

Ive had two of these USB switches, which are a great value compared with a KVM. I had an older model that only last for a year and a half, but I contacted UGREEN and they sent me a replacement free of charge. I appreciate the great customer service that they offer!

We work from home and my printer stopped working. Bought the switch to share my husbands printer. Works great.

Edit, they saw my review and immediately offered are placement, which arrived within a couple days. Really great customer service, and Ill continue to use the replacement device, and report back if there are any further issues. Raising from 2 to 4 stars because of the great customer service. Original: Worked for 4 months, then the switching button just stopped switching.

I needed to share a wireless mouse and keyboard with a desktop and laptop computer. To do that, I had to manually move the USB wireless receiver between computers. While this worked, the geek in me wanted an easier solution. This devices works perfectly for what I need. I connected the USB wireless receiver to the output USB port on the front of the Sharing Switch, and each provided USB cable to a USB port on each computer. Now I can simply press the Select button on the Sharing Switch to use the keyboard and mouse with either computer. The device is small and lightweight, which is good to me. It also has a small blue indicator light that tells you which computer is actively connected. I highly recommend this device.

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.

This product does exactly as intended, no fuss or frills. I connected a wireless keyboard-mouse combo receiver to the input, and have each output connected to a different computer. All I have to do is push the button and it switches effortlessly to the other machine. It was plug-and-play on my Windows 10 machines. There is a little blue indicator button, but unless you memorize which device is associated with the marks 1 or 2 that wont help you much except to see that the inputs have changed. But thats not a problem for my uses, so I wont knock the product for that.

This is a switch, for USB, , ,not a very glamorous or expensive item, , ,And when I put it in my system, Im sure it will work quite well, , ,However, whoever packaged the item meant for it to be found intact by a future archaeologist!, , ,It took a screwdriver and a pair of scissors to extract the item from the box, , ,Someday an engineer will stand proudly and say, I designed that switch but the packaging guy will be called up on stage for an Oscar, , ,

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.
