Does what it supposed to do

The basic purpose of this device in my use case was to use this as a KVM for my keyboard, mouse, Bluetooth adapter and USB drive. I was able to share all of these devices with my IMac and Windows PC. I did notice that there is a slight flicker in backlit keyboards but a quick push on the KVM switch resolved the flickering. I was using a corsair k90 as my keyboard and plan on switching to a newer on once I identify the right one.

Good little Switch

I really like this switch because it is small and doesn't take up much space and is 3.0. It works great. I have an older computer that I wanted to use the same keyboard as my new computer. I have some programs on the old computer that I didn't want to move to the new one but still want to use occasionally. I also needed to transfer files back and forth but win10 wouldn't let me connect to the old computer for who knows what reason. I plugged in a thumb drive to one of the ports and it switches the keyboard and the thumb drive when I want to use the old computer. Problem solved!!

The Magic Button

Got this for my wife, who has to change between two laptops and really just wanted an old style KVM with a physical switch or button. This checked all those boxes, and it's been working like a champ. Plugged a USB -> HDMI splitter, and the two laptops are both now happily using her dual monitor setup. My sole design complaint is that the cables are on opposite sides of the box, which means there's never a place you can put it so there aren't cables sticking out. Ideally, I would have loved it if they were all in the back, so the button could look nice on the desk, but that's just a nice to have - it works in all the ways that matter.

Exactly what I needed

I switch between my work computer and my fun computer all the time. I hated having to click on my monitors and then move all the usbs I need from one place to the next. It was mega annoying. With this, I use the Dell Monitor Manager and just put one button and all my flash drives, peripherals and monitors switch over. It's fantastic.

Great little USB switch

This is a great little USB switch. The monitor that I have has a built in KVM or USB switch, just like this, but this is so much easier to use and I don't think it's worth using the one on the monitor. This also allows me to use USB 3.0 which is so much faster when it comes to transferring files and actually utilizing the same USB devices for multiple computers. All in all well worth the money and I'm happy to have it.

Decent KVM For the Price

I was looking for a KVM for the times that I have my laptop docked to the same station as my desktop. I tried a software solution that works over network, but have come to dislike it. Sometimes the software connects my two devices (sharing keyboard and mouse) when I'm in another room. So I opted for this as a solution to share my Logitech G910 (Mechanical RGB keyboard) between my desktop and my laptop. I am extremely satisfied. I have noticed others complaining of a "whine" but I hear nothing out of mine. Coils seem fine. Pros: USB 3.0 support. If I wanted to connect my USB 3.0 storage drive to swap files between computers without having to fiddle with network shares, this is the way to go! Transition between devices is (almost) seamless. Because it's a digital switch, it takes a second to switch between devices. I only have this device connected to corresponding USB 3.0 ports on my desktop and laptop dock. Between them both, there seems to be enough power for my keyboard, mouse, and storage drive. I would recommend this product. I also recommend sticking it down with some decent 2-sided sticky tape or glue to prevent it from sliding around.

My homemade docking station

I have a workstation at home that has a big wide screen, a really nice mechanical, backlit keyboard, my favorite mouse, and a camera. I wanted to use those peripherals with my laptop. With the Soho KVM switch, I'm able to plug a USB cable and an HDMI cable into my laptop, press the button on my switch, and presto, my workstation's keyboard, mouse, screen, and camera now work with the laptop! The switch worked perfectly right out of the box. Also, it's a nice-looking switch.

Great product, USB3.0, easy to use!

This was exactly what I was looking for, a device that can move multiple USB devices between two different computers. Package includes USB KVM Switch, and 2 USB cables to plug into two different devices. From the back of the KVM switch you run the two included USB cables, one to each of your computers (or other device), then on the front of the KVM switch you can plug up to 4 USB devices that you want to share. There is a button on the top that you press to move all 4 USB devices either from computer 1 to computer 2, or from computer 2 to computer 1. I have a single USB device plugged into the front and it works great. There is an option Micro USB power that I recommend using if the device(s) you plug into the front require additional power. It does with with USB 2.0 ports, so if you don't have USB 3.0, don't worry!

Perfect solution for using gaming keyboards/mice on multiple devices

I have a desktop for personal use and a laptop for work at home. I was trying to find a way to use my gaming keyboard and mouse for both devices without losing functionality (unlike my other kvm). This thing has worked perfectly. It does disconnect from the unselected device, but that has not caused me any issues. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to share USB devices between two computers.

Yep, it works

So, I figure for the price why not. I need a new switch box for my setup and this got good reviews. Ordered it and it appears the next day at the door. Unbox it and hook it up, works great once you get it in place. It’s pretty small, for some reason I thought it would be bigger. Down side, you have cords coming out the front and back but other than that it seems to just work. Yes I abused the button for 5 minutes and it was fine. Yes there is no power cord and for me I didn’t need it. Just a switch for a keyboard and trackball. So yes, this thing works for me . . . . . . Also there was a thank you card, made me smile on that one.
