Solves
- Constantly unplugging and replugging printers, keyboards, mice and USB drives
- Need for multiple devices per desk when sharing among PCs
- Wear on ports from frequent cable swapping
Four computers, one set of devices, switched with a push
Right now your printer and drives get unplugged and replugged every time you change machines. With this 4-in, 4-out USB 3.0 switcher, every computer reaches the same four devices at 5Gbps, with no driver install.
Four computers, four shared USB 3.0 ports
- Four computers, one device set
Four input ports take four computers, and four shared USB 3.0 outputs carry your printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse and flash drives. One printer serves the whole desk, and nothing gets carried from room to room.
- 5Gbps USB 3.0 speed
The shared ports run on the USB 3.0 standard at 5Gbps, which suits external drives and printers that need more bandwidth than USB 2.0 offers. The switcher works with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, Mac and Linux.
- Press a button, switch instantly
Four push buttons each carry an LED. The lit button tells you which computer holds the shared devices. No driver install is needed on any machine, so you press once and start working.

Questions and answers
Does it work with my Windows XP, 7, 10, Mac or Linux machines?
w
Wanelo · seller
Yes. The switcher is listed for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, plus Mac and Linux. Mixed setups work because the switching happens in the unit, not in software on each computer.
Do I need to install drivers on each computer?
w
Wanelo · seller
No. The switcher is driver free. Connect the four computers with the included A-to-A cables, plug your devices into the output side, and each machine detects them as usual.
Will it work with my printer, scanner or USB drive?
w
Wanelo · seller
If the device runs on a standard USB connection, it will route through the switcher. Plug the printer, scanner or flash drive into one of the shared output ports, then press the button for the computer that needs it.
Does switching cause disconnects or lost print jobs?
w
Wanelo · seller
Switch when nothing is running. Changing the active computer in the middle of a print or file transfer can interrupt that job. Wait for the transfer to finish, press the next button, and the device moves over.
Is a switcher worth it compared with a second printer or a hub?
w
Wanelo · seller
A second printer or drive costs more than the switcher, and a USB hub still needs you to re-plug devices into each computer. Four shared ports and one button press replace the cable trips and protect your ports from repeated swapping.
