This little unit saved me $300
I saved $300 by returning a great Startech KVM switch (within return window) since this little unit enabled me to: Use my Windows work laptop & MacBook Pro – connected to one monitor. I will tell you my new monitor allows for quick switching using the remote it came with (Samsung OLED 34″ G8). The unit also let me connect 1 keyboard and one mouse wirelessly. You can also connect a USB dongle off the single-port side to connect other devices as well (additional usb or usb-c cables, chargers, etc). Been using this item for 3 weeks not with no issues.I did not want to test the KVM and hurt my changes of a return. I do wonder if switching would be quicker or connections better with the Startech. For sure the cable management would have been cleaner, but I did a good job using a cable management kit. The KVM with also has more ports but in short, this unit, for its price, works great and is not slow at all. Zero issues…even if your monitor is not the Porsche-like Monitor I just purchased, it will toggle between 2 laptops with ease.Here is the Startech unit I returned to save $300 for comparison. Hope I don’t regret it. I will update this review should I have issues; I could always buy the Startech again if I do.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3MWLCYS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1StarTech.com Dual-Laptop USB-C KVM Docking Station, Dual Monitor 4K 60Hz DisplayPort Dock, 5-Port USB Hub, GbE, 90W/45W Power Delivery to Two Laptops, Windows/Mac, 2-Host KVM Dock, TAAPS: Photos attached = “best I could do” with cable mgmt, which is the only drawback I see so far with this $18 unit vs. the $300 Startech…both of which were my picks based on spending 2 hours on the decision. Off topic, but I also spend half a Saturday before selecting the new Samsung monitor as I love the real estate it gives me for work, especially if I do a bit of work on a weekend and want a football game in the corner, or news. Finally, yes! I’m a National Champion, as you can see in one of the screen savers showing how clean my desktop is now, which was my goal.

Works as expected
Vary small, cables included, does what I need it to. Plug and play set up.

Works as expected, comes with two USB cables.
I have a single DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) interface that I wanted to use for both of my desktop computers. This allows me to switch back and forth easily, with no interruptions or error messages. It’s great because now I can use the same set of high-quality speakers on both computers without having to run additional audio cables.

works well but had slight problems after about 1 year with 25 presses a day (~10,000 presses)
Worked fine for a little over a year with about 25 presses a day (maybe 10,000 presses total).It still works now but sometimes when I press the button to go to port A there is no LED light and the switch is not responsive. I have to press the button two more times to get it to work for port A. This happens maybe once every 5 switches to port A.It would be good if the button function lasted 25,000 or 100,000 times. It would be better for the button function to be better rated than to buy this again every year or so.

Doesn’t work
Was hoping to use this to switch a USB printer between two Windows PCs, but it doesn’t work for that. When switching it to one PC, the computer it recognizes that something is connected but throws an error saying that the device could not be recognized. When switching over to the other computer nothing happens at all and the printer is listed as disconnected. When I remove the switch entirely and connect the printer directly to either computer, it is immediately recognized and I can print to it.

Great device! Does what it says it will do!
I alternate between two laptops, one for work, and one for personal use. I connect them to a Pluggable DisplayLink device that, in turn, connects the laptop to two monitors, an ethernet network cable, a printer, a mouse and a keyboard. Until finding this device, each time I needed to switch from one laptop to the other, I needed to unplug the DisplayLink USB from one laptop, and connect it to the other. The recurring plugging and unplugging eventually degraded the USB port on one of my laptops. I installed this device, and it works flawlessly. With a push of a button, it switches all of those peripherals seamlessly from one laptop to the other. Great device!

Impeccable pour brancher 1 micro/casque à 1 console + 1 PC. Au démarrage de l’une ou l’autre, le boîtier détecte automatiquement le flux, et tout fonctionne instantanément. Un clic permet de couper le flux si besoin. Sur la voix, peut-être une légère saccade de temps en temps, mais rien de particulièrement notable.

Amazing little device that works perfectly for my needs. I wanted to use wireless Apple CarPlay in my 2019 Mazda cx-5 for both my wife and I, but there is only one USB CarPlay port, and my wireless dongle doesn’t allow switching between phones easily.My solution was to use two USB wireless dongles (one for each phone) and this USB bidirectional switch to toggle between each one, and the single USB port plugged in to the car’s USB CarPlay port. Now with the press of a button the car seamlessly selects each phone wirelessly with no issues or hassle. Game changer!Another competing product I tried only confused the car’s setup. It would freeze the entertainment and navigation system because the other switcher didn’t power off the unused USB port when selecting inputs. This one works very well every time!! Highly recommend!!

After trying various different usb switches, some had power that never turned off, and some straight up didn’t work, this was the only one that did. Note however, you need really good USB type A to C cables otherwise it wont work as well.Design is very sleek with a simple to use push button that does remember where it was left off when it loses power.I highly recommend it if you are looking for a USB switch to switch between android auto/car play or even wireless android auto to wired as mine has a weird disconnect issue in some spots of where I live.
