Description

Two computers, one set of devices, and no more crawling behind the desk. This compact USB switch box shares a printer, keyboard, mouse and USB drives between two PCs with a single front button. Two USB-A cables set it up, and it works with Windows, Mac and Linux.

Share 4 USB devices between 2 PCs with one button press, no re-plugging

Solves
  • constantly unplugging and replugging USB devices
  • need for multiple printers, mice or keyboards per desk
  • sharing USB drives between computers

Share your desk with one press, not one more replug

Before: crawling behind your desk to swap the printer, keyboard and mouse between two computers. After: one push on the front button and every device follows you to the other PC.

One box, four ports, zero software

  • One press moves everything

    The front push button sends all four downstream USB ports to PC 1 or PC 2. The blue LED tells you which computer is in control, so you never have to guess before you type. Press once and the printer, keyboard and mouse follow you across the desk.

  • Four ports, four devices

    Plug a printer, keyboard, mouse and USB drive into the four downstream ports, and both computers can reach them. The switch handles the routing, so the devices stay plugged in and you stop pulling cables from the back of the tower.

  • Plug in, no driver

    Two USB-A cables run from the box to each computer, and nothing else needs installing. The box works with Windows, Mac and Linux systems, so the setup stays the same whichever machines sit on your desk.

Set it up in under five minutes

Questions and answers

Will my printer, keyboard, mouse and USB drive all work through the switch?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, for standard USB devices. Printers, keyboards, mice and USB drives plug into the four downstream ports and show up on whichever PC is active. Devices that draw a lot of power, such as some external hard drives, work better plugged straight into a computer.

Do both PCs need drivers or software to use it?
w
Wanelo · seller

No. The switch is plug-and-play, so there is nothing to install on either computer. Connect the two cables, plug in your devices, and press the button to change control.

Does it work with Mac and Linux as well as Windows?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The packaging lists Windows (including XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10), Mac and Linux. Mixing systems is fine, so a Windows desktop and a Mac laptop can share the same keyboard and printer.

Is the plastic housing durable for daily desk use?
w
Wanelo · seller

The housing is glossy black plastic, not metal. It is light and compact, and it sits neatly on a desk without taking much room. Keep it off the floor and away from heavy items, and it will handle daily switching without any fuss.

Is it worth buying instead of a second printer or keyboard?
w
Wanelo · seller

For most dual-PC desks, yes. A second printer or keyboard costs more and takes up desk space, while this box handles both computers with one set of devices. You get two cables and one switch, and the cost stays well under a second printer.
