USB 3.0 Switch for Sharing Printer Between 2 Computers

Built for the way you actually switch

• One button routes the connection

  A single button flips the active port. The LED for port 1 or port 2 lights up, so you never have to guess which computer holds the printer. Press, check the light, and carry on.

• Two directions, one switch

  Run it 2-in-1-out to let two computers share one printer or drive. Flip it 1-in-2-out to let one laptop reach two devices. The same small box covers both shared-desk setups, so you do not need two adapters.

• Cables that reach the desk

  Two USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-A cables, each 150 cm long, come in the box. That is enough reach for most desks, and the switch itself measures 58 mm by 47 mm, so it fits in the gap between the machines.

Less cable chasing, more printing

The daily cable shuffle

The printer lives on one desk, but the work laptop and the home PC both need it. Every switch means reaching behind a crowded desk, pulling a USB cable, and plugging it into the other machine. Each swap is another chance for a loose connection or a stalled file transfer.

One press instead

A two-port USB 3.0 switch sits between the devices. Press the button and the printer moves to the other computer. The LED for the active port lights up, so you know the connection landed before you hit print.

A cleaner desk

With both cables already in place, the desk stays calm. Nothing gets unplugged, nothing gets lost behind the monitor, and each machine gets the device it needs with a single press.

What to expect after setup

1. First use
   Connect and confirm the LED

   Plug both computers into the switch, press the button, and check that the LED moves to the port you selected. Confirm the device appears on the active computer.

2. 3 uses
   Toggling becomes routine

   After a few switches, the press and check habit takes over. You stop reaching behind the desk for cables.

3. 30 days
   The desk stays cleaner

   With the cables staying in place, the plugs see less repeated wear and the desk layout stays the same from day to day.
