Works perfectly. A must-have for dual setups.
I use this to switch my printer between my work and personal computers. One button press, and it switches instantly. It's been reliable for months. The cable is a bit short, but that's minor.
The functionality is fine – it shares my USB device without issues. However, the button feels a little flimsy, and the device takes up desk space. Also, there's no indicator light, so you have to remember which computer you're on. Acceptable for the price, but not perfect.
This switch saved me from constantly swapping my KB and mouse between my gaming PC and work laptop. Setup was trivial, and switching is instant with the button. It's a sturdy little device. I recommend it.
I bought this to share a USB scanner between two iMacs. It works flawlessly – just click the button to switch. The only minor complaint is that the button is on the top, which is fine. Great value.
