UPDATE: Quit Working after the First Few Times

Switch quit working after the first few times. (not sure it ever worked) I kept thinking: "Is it me? I thought I just switched this thing". Then I realized there's an LED on the front of the switch to indicate which side is 'on'. and no; it didn't switch. UPDATE: After posting above review, I got an email from Ugreen asking if they could provide a replacement. I responded that I had scrapped the defective switch, so I would not be able to send it back for a refund. I was very impressed when they said "That's OK, we'll send you a new switch anyway" (free of charge). Based on this, I received the replacement switch and installed it this morning. Gotta say: "It works GREAT". I don't think the other one ever worked this well. I'll keep me fingers crossed and report back if it fails. If no updates, it is working as expected. Changed my rating from 2 to 5 stars

It Works

I mean this could be a two word review. You need a 2 port USB switch? Buy this. It works. Here is how Im using it: I recently got an iMac and had originally hoped to use it in Target Monitor Mode but I missed the part where Apple stopped supporting that in 2014. No big deal, I have a monitor for my Win10/Hacintosh but I wanted to use just one mouse and Keyboard for both. I use a KVM at work so I am very used to using multiple systems and multiple screens. So I started looking fo solutions and asking around. Mouse: First purchase was a Logitech Triathlon. Besides being a really nice mouse, it can connect to up to three computers. There is a side switch that lets you switch between the computers. I have the USB dongle plugged into the Win10/Hacintosh because it lacks Bluetooth. It connected to the iMac using bluetooth automatically, no action by me. Switching is easy and as long as you are logged in, you can do a lot with just the mouse. As an example, I often use the Win10 system as a YouTube player. I don't need to type anything. Keyboard: For the Keyboard I got a UGreen USB Sharing Switch. This is a simple "one in, two out" switch. I ran my Red Dragon K580 in and sent it out using the supplied USB cables. The box is about the size of a pack of playing cars, flat black with a tiny, not very bright (in a good way) blue LED that moves to indicate one of the two cables. Its simple and it just works. Very nice. So now I have both systems sharing a Keyboard and Mouse and each driving their own monitor. Its a setup I like a lot and while it would have been nice to send everything to the iMac screen, I would lose the ability to have YouTube running in one system completely independent of the other like I can now. Total cost was $55 - $33 for the mouse and $14 for the switch. You would be hard pressed to find a good KVM for $55 and you would still need a mouse. Additionally by splitting the functions like I did I can switch just the mouse or just the keyboard if I choose. Downside of course is that switching is two presses not one but I can live with it. If you need/want to share a keyboard and mouse between two systems, I recommend this setup.

Works Perfectly for Sharing a Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Between 2 Computers

I needed to share a wireless mouse and keyboard with a desktop and laptop computer. To do that, I had to manually move the USB wireless receiver between computers. While this worked, the geek in me wanted an easier solution. This devices works perfectly for what I need. I connected the USB wireless receiver to the "output" USB port on the front of the Sharing Switch, and each provided USB cable to a USB port on each computer. Now I can simply press the "Select" button on the Sharing Switch to use the keyboard and mouse with either computer. The device is small and lightweight, which is good to me. It also has a small blue indicator light that tells you which computer is actively connected. I highly recommend this device.

Works perfectly with Ubuntu Linux and Canon Printer

We like our Canon printer, but Canon does not supply drivers for wireless communication between Ubuntu Linux 16 or 18 and the printer. A USB connection works well, but we have two Ubuntu computers that both access to the printer. The switch accepts one USB cable from each computer to the switch, and one USB cable from the switch to the printer. Ugreen provides two high quality USB cables along with the switch itself. Operation is simple. The switch has two indicator lights, one for each computer. To switch from one computer to the other, press the single button on the switch. Our other computers are Windows which connect to the printer over our wireless network. Installing the switch does not interfere with wireless printing.

Great, affordable little gadget

I work from home, and have traditionally two separate computers (one work, one personal), and know several others who do the same thing. With this set up, I had been using two different sets of Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combos, and would keep both keyboards and mice on my desk at all times, manually moving one out of the way when I needed to quickly check something on my other PC. I did a little research and it looked like this could be a good solution. This is one of those things that I like so much, I almost smacked myself for not getting it sooner. All I had to do was plug one of the little Logitech USB transmitters into the front, run to each PC the two USB cords that came with this, and I can switch between my machines with a quick touch of the "select" button. It's really helped me free up some desk space.

Buy This NOW!

This product is awesome. No issues whatsoever, no drivers to install and it works perfectly. I use it in an unconventional way which is a tribute as to how well this product works. I use it for Sim Racing. I have the steering plugged in to one side and output to my PC and PS4. In the product description it doesn't claim to auto-switch sources, but for me it does just that. I have yet to press the switch even one time. HIGHLY recommend this product. It should be noted that I did try a product from IOGEAR that claimed to auto-switch and not only does it not auto-switch, it didn't even manually switch, so I returned it and got this amazing product! EDIT: This product works so well that I purchased and received a second one!

Odd behavior with my Nvidia Shield. Update: It works.

Ok so I got this so I could control my NVidia Shield and my PC via shared keyboard and mouse. So the problem is that even when I have physically switched it to the PC (and the keyboard and mice are working) seconds later it will switch to the Shield. I've tried switching cables but it still favors the Shield. Other funny thing is the physical switch takes a firm press and sometimes a couple of tries. Hey everyone, (update 7/25/18) The company reached out to me, Kelsey. She suggested I try switching USB ports and that seems to have done the trick. Now, it only takes one press of the button and it stays on the PC unlike before. Crazy-simple stuff sometimes. I'm glad I kept it and the company seems to be rock solid by reaching out and being proactive to resolve issues. Thanks bunch!!!

Awesome

I am delighted with this USB switch. At $15, it is an amazing bargain. Comes with two USB cords included. Understand that it only has one output, so to use a keyboard and a mouse (or I suppose a USB printer), requires a USB hub on the outlet side. I use mine to switch my keyboard and wireless mouse from one computer to the other and it works flawlessly. I love it. Some reviewer complained that it switches automatically to a computer that is turned on. This is probably by design, as it is needed. Otherwise the booting computer would not see a keyboard, and would post an error to that effect. Great product.

Works as described

I've been using it a little over a month now, and it works great for my needs! I use a 4-port USB hub with it so I can switch up to four devices between my work computer and personal computer. I usually only have one computer on at a time; so when I do turn it on, the switch defaults to that computer and I don't have to do anything to start using my devices. When I do have both computers on and I want to switch to the other one, I sometimes have to press the button twice before it switches. That's kind of annoying, but it still works well. Also, the "input/output" naming seems to be reversed, at least for my thinking. You plug your computers into the input side, and devices into the output side. The way I think of it, the device is the input to the switch, and the switch sends the connection out to the computer. But in the end, I don't care if it calls one side "foo" and the other side "bar", as long as it works as described--which it does!

Great Alternative To More Expensive KVM Solutions

I recently built a server and needed a way to switch between it and my home PC while still being able to use my keyboard and mouse. I didn't want to purchase an expensive KVM switch so I use this combined with the EagleTec HUB3639 USB 2.0, 4 Port Hub (Black Color, Ultra Slim Size 9mm). I connected my usb soundcard with my speakers, a keyboard, and my mouse. Now all of them switch over with the click of a button whenever I need to work on my server. It's beautiful.
