Easy to setup and it’s doing its job well. I like the two little green lights at the top to indicate to which output (right or left) your inputs (mouse and keyboard in my case) are going to.

The button makes switching a breeze. This is for USB switching only.

Have a workstation & gaming pc. Needed something like this to switch between them with my keyboard & mouse, works perfectly. Even have extra ports if needed.

Like a lot of people, I’m been working from home, and I share my keyboard, mouse, and monitor between my work laptop and my personal gaming PC. My monitor, like most modern ones, supports auto-switching between multiple inputs, and I’m not switching computers more than a couple of times per day, so I didn’t want to get a full KVM. This switch works perfectly as an alternative and saved me from a lot of crawling under my desk to swap around a USB hub cable.

Four USB ports that can be easily switched from one computer to the other at a click of a button.

I purchased this item so that I could share my keyboard and mouse between a couple computers. Switching between computers is quick, and Logitech software is able to still control my keyboard LEDs. I do not need additional power from the optional power input. The only issue I have with this is that the USB cables that connect to the computers are built into the unit and are short. This is an issue because my desk can adjust for a sitting or standing position. The cables just barely are long enough to accommodate the raised height of the desk, but it restricts my computer placement. USB cable extensions might work, but I haven’t tried them.

Works well and easy to set up. I only wish it was a bit prettier. Premium version with an aluminium button would be nice 🙂

I bought this product thinking it will work with my two Macs and will allow me to switch the keyboard (wired Apple Magic with num pad) and a Logi mouse. First of all, It does’t work without adding the micro USB power cord adding more cable clutter on the desk. Second, it doesn’t work with Logitech’s USB bluetooth receiver. product idea is good but the actual physical product is not that good.
