Plugable USB 2.0 Sharing Switch for One-Button USB Device Port Sharing Between Two Computers (A/B Dual Computer Switch)

Die Lieferung erfolgte sehr schnell, trotz des Weihnachtsrummels. Das Ding ist einfach anzuschließen, USB Kabel sind mit dabei). Einfaches umschalten per Druckschalter auf die beiden Ports. Jeder Port hat eine eigene Leuchtdiodenfarbe, so weiss man immer mit einem Blick welcher Port eingeschaltet ist. Geräte funktionieren einwandfrei. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

I work at home 4 days /wk, and have on my home office desk, my personal home computer, wireless mouse and keyboard, printer and monitor and right next to it is my company owned computer, wireless mouse and keyboard (which I purchased), printer and 2 monitors. The desk has 1 roll out typing drawer under the top of the desk, it can hold 1 keyboard and mouse at a time. I also have both printers on the shelf above the wall. I wanted to use just 1 keyboard and mouse to use with both computers, went to 2 "box" electronic stores, and all the "experts" told me you can't use the 1 keyboard and mouse between 2 computers, so before work I put the work computers board and mouse there, then after work switch them out with my own. Then for printers, I have purchased 2 printers for my home computer, I use it so infrequently for home software, the ink usually dries out and when I go try to find ink the printer has been obsoleted and ink is only available on line at premium prices. I thought there must be a solution, then came across this little beauty. For less than $15 and free shipping, I was able to run 1 line to the companies printer , and two lines to each of my computers. Now I can do all my printing off 1 current printer with good ink. After I saw how well that worked, I bought a second one to try with keyboard and mouse....Worked perfect! Put the transmitter in the one end, and a line to each computer. This switch is fantastic, much less costly than many other models I saw. It requires no software or confusing hookups. One end has 1 USB connector you plug in the line coming from whatever you want to share, the other end has 2 connectors labelled "A" and "B". You plug one end of the supplied cables (all cables needed are INCLUDED) into the box and the other end is a USB, plug that right into the computer where you removed the old plug from. Then do the same with the other cord to the other computer, you are finished, both computers now share whatever you want. If you have multiple boxes, just keep all connections for 1 computer in the "A" plugs, and use the "B" plugs for the other computer. The easy to push switch has a light that glows green for "A" switch and blue when B switch is active, so if all switches are green, that means all the "A" plugs are active, blue would mean the "B" switches are active. No power to connect either, hate those little red lights that glow using power all day or all year? These lights only glow when computer is on, when off, they do not light. Just a fantastic product for the price....

I was surprised at the quality of this device due to it's low price. It came packaged quite securely and is a good, solid little unit. I have it connected to 2 PCs and a cheap 4-port USB hub and it all works like a charm. I can press the button to switch between computers, or if I shut one computer down it automatically switches to the other. Extremely impressed with Plugable's quality and would purchase their devices again.

Un produit simple qui fait le travail. Je partage actuellement mon clavier et ma souris (avec un hub usb en plus) avec mon pc fixe et mon macbook pro.

I've been using the USB2.0 switch for a few days now and it works as described. I think I must have a newer model as it comes in a nice box, not a clam shell package as was described by another user, and the lights are a small led, green and blue, not red and large as a previous picture showed. I have it hooked up to the AmazonBasics 4-Port USB 2.0 Ultra-Mini Hub, with a keyboard, mouse and 2 printers and everything works great. One Computer is using Win 10, the other is a multiboot system with Win7/Ubuntu 16.04/Linux Mint/Mate/KDE/XFCE/Cinnamon and again, everything just works which is really nice. I would have liked a bigger A/B switch as it's really tiny and it would have been nice if the single Port was also on the back with the other 2Ports, then I could have hidden the unit better on my desktop without the single cable sticking out the front. I think the unit is a great value though and would recommend it, worth a 5 star rating in my opinion !
