UGREENUSB 3.0 Switch 2 in 2 Out, USB Switcher 2 Computers Sharing Keyboard and Mouse Printer Scanner Webcam, Printer Splitter for 2 Computers, 2 Port USB Selector Switch with 2 USB3.0 Cables

I work remote as a Product Designer on a dual monitor setup (Dell U2719DC and U2719DX monitors) and I was looking for a way to easily have both of my Macbooks connected to both of my monitors (my personal laptop 2019 Macbook Pro and my work laptop 2023 Macbook Pro) to be able to switch between both laptops without the hassle of unplugging/replugging as well as being able to use ONE keyboard and trackpad/mouse for BOTH Macbooks!! (rather than switching out peripherals).After doing endless research on deciding whether or not to go with an expensive KVM switch and the possible roadblocks I may have faced including:- Two Macbooks possibly only producing a mirrored display on dual monitors- Not being able to wake my Macbook up while it's in clamshell mode (or having to never put my Macbook to sleep)I decided to go a cheaper route with investing in this Ugreen USB Switch and it works FLAWLESSLY with my setup.Switching between both of my Macbooks is pretty simple. For example, in the photo, I have my personal Macbook on the left and my work Macbook on the right.When on my work laptop, to switch over to my personal Macbook, all I have to do is change the input on both of my monitors to HDMI or DisplayPort...which ever cable you are using for each laptop.In my case my work laptop is connected using an HDMI. And my personal Macbook uses a Displayport cable. I then click the button on the USB Switch to switch my keyboard and magic trackpad (or mouse) over to my personal laptop and after a few seconds, I have the desktop of my Personal laptop displayed on both of my monitors :) Best solution if you want to easily switch between twp computers.

I have this setup so I can use one keyboard and one mouse between my personal PC and my work laptop. I work from home and something that's been annoying me is having two keyboards on my desk.My laptops have gotten progressively smaller and smaller. it was fine when I had a 10 key on the laptop but now that's gone. I needed a full keyboard to use and this little gadget lets me toggle between my machines with ease.Be sure you have power being supplied to the switch by at least ONE of the USB's. It needs power from one of the computers in order to work right. There is also a slight delay when switching. My Logitech G502 Hero has lights on top that I watch before I do anything. Once they start to glow I know that it is connected and ready for work.

This device was easy to install and works magically to switch between two computers while using one keyboard and mouse. What the product description does not state clearly enough is this: both computers must be directly connected to your monitor. My monitor can accept HDMI, VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort input cables. I connected my old computer running Windows 10 to my monitor using a DVI cable. I connected my new computer running Windows 11 to my monitor using an HDMI cable. The device switches between the old and new computer. My monitor has a button that allows me to switch between the HDMI and DVI inputs. If your monitor accepts only one computer connection, this device will NOT work for you.

I bought this because I wanted to eliminate a few cables on my desk where I commonly switch between my laptop (for work) and desktop (gaming/backup) using a keyboard that acts as a hub for a left-handed numpad and mouse. It does that, though not as effortlessly as advertised unless you understand how it works. Let me save you a few days of potential troubleshooting:1) This device has to be powered. It does not work in an unpowered USB-A slot like in some hubs or other devices that do not provide power through USB-A. HOWEVER you might not notice this at first because as long as one of the two systems this switch is plugged into provides power, it will still work (so, for example, plugging it into an unpowered USB-A hub on a laptop will work if the other side is running to a powered PC, but will not work if that PC is turned off).2) "Output" and "Input" are kind of switched. I say "kind of" because the device receives power from the computer through the "Input" device, so both sides are technically inputs. Regardless: "Output" is for keyboard/periphial inputs and "Input" is for computer outputs.3) File transfer: from the description I thought it might allow 5gbs transfer speed over networking between systems. I don't think this is the case. The 5gbs transfer speed only appears to be for connected devices (external hard drives, printers, etc.).I'm docking a star for the lousy manual that explained none of this. Still, the device is incredibly space-saving and functional once understood, which is all I really wanted it for in the first place.

Strange to use USB-A to USB-A cables, but it works just fine as a kvm switch.There is no hotkey to switch or way to switch video this works well as a device to keep next to a monitor with input switching as the single button will switch your keyboard/mouse/gamepad to the other device, it also works with game consoles which is helpful.

Does exactly as advertised, splits my KBM set between my work laptop and my personal PC.

This was perfect for switching my USB microphone between computers. It provides the phantom power for my USB microphone and I still have a USB slot that can switch between 2 different computers. This makes file sharing easy and makes my cable management easy. There is a different colored light so you know which computer has access to the USB device.

Works great right out of the box with everything you need included. I use it to switch between my gaming PC and my work laptop, and it works great.
