Description

Share one USB 3.0 printer, keyboard or drive between two computers without unplugging anything. A single press on the top button hands the device to whichever machine you are using, and the LED shows which side is live. The switch is palm-sized and plug-and-play.

One-touch USB 3.0 sharing: switch one printer, keyboard or drive between two computers with a single press

Solves
  • Unplugging and replugging a printer or drive between computers
  • Desk clutter from multiple USB devices
  • Needing two sets of peripherals for two computers
  • Sharing one USB 3.0 device without re-plugging

Share one printer between two computers with a single press

Stop unplugging and replugging a shared printer or drive every time you change machines. Press once and your desk just works, on either computer.

One button, two computers, zero guesswork

  • One button, two computers

    A single press on the top button moves the shared USB 3.0 device between computer 1 and computer 2. The same switch also works the other way, letting one computer feed two devices, so a printer and a drive can sit on one machine at the same time.

  • Know which side is live

    LED 1 or LED 2 lights up to show which computer currently has the device. You never have to guess whether the printer is ready on the machine in front of you, and you never have to walk around the desk to check.

  • Plug in, print now

    Plug-and-play operation means nothing to install on either computer. Connect the two input cables, plug the device into the output, and the shared printer or drive is ready to use.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Questions and answers

Will my printer or USB drive work through the switch without installing drivers?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The switch is plug-and-play, so there is no driver or software to install on either computer. Your computer recognizes the printer or drive the same way it would if it were plugged in directly.

Does switching affect USB 3.0 speed or cause the device to disconnect?
w
Wanelo · seller

The switch is a USB 3.0 Type-A unit, so the connection stays at USB 3.0 type. Switch between jobs rather than in the middle of one. Pressing the button during a print or file copy can interrupt the transfer, so wait for it to finish first.

Is 150 cm enough for my desk layout?
w
Wanelo · seller

Each of the two included cables is 150 cm long, which covers most desks where the computers sit beside each other or one shelf away. If one computer sits across the room, you will need a longer cable.

Can I use it for a keyboard and mouse as well as a printer?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Any USB 3.0 device connected to the output port can be switched, including a keyboard, a mouse, or a USB drive. Only one computer holds the device at a time, which is the whole point of the switch.

How is this different from a regular USB hub?
w
Wanelo · seller

A standard hub adds ports to one computer. This switch moves one device between two computers with one press. Buying a second printer or a second keyboard costs far more and takes more desk space, while this unit stays the size of a palm.
