Took a little to get it working

I have a setup that has a centralized dell hub consuming all peripheral connections (internet, audio, kvm), into a single USB-A output which I originally had to connect and disconnect between my work laptop and desktop myself. With this switch, instead of plugging and unplugging it relays the connection to the computer I have selected. For this to work as intended I had to restart both computers with the switch plugged in.
Useless and overpriced

The device is useless if you actually want to switch between devices more than once. So from A to B and back to A it works but then if you go to B again, if it will kill the USB ports on A so you can't get back into A without a reboot. I've tried with multiple systems and different combinations and always the same - kills the ports. And since all IO is USB, you have to reboot. They also advertise that it has a "remote". It doesn't in in the modern sense. Its a skinny tethered cord about 4 feet in length which won't 6 months of use. And as other are saying you also have to triple click to to get back to A from B since it tries to cycle a non existent C and D. Don't buy it - i can't remember the last time i felt so ripped off.

I currently have 3 PC's on my desk, a gaming PC, an old Mac Mini and my work laptop. This device is the perfect device for swapping my keyboard, mouse, webcam and Focusrite sound interface between them, for home use and for working from home. The button to switch between outputs is great and comes with a long, but thin cable attached. Four USB3 Type A - Type B cables are provided to connect the outputs to your PC's and are of very high quality and the switch itself is compact. It's not an inexpensive product, but it's very useful and so far has worked seamlessly. The ability to provide additional power via a micro USB is also very useful.
Lack of switch control

Unit is great however the biggest drawback is that you have to cycle thru all before going back to first. We have 2 computers connected but it does not auto detect so you have to cycle thru the 2 unused ports.

Just purchased this to share a printer between 2 computers. One is Windows 10 and the other is a Macbook Pro. The MBP shows the printer as offline and does not work while the Windows 10 machine is fine. If I plug the MBP directly into the printer it works just fine.

Nice little addition to the desk. Small enough to stay out of the way too. Great for sharing anything USB. I've got a desktop PC and a TB3 dock on my desk (used with Macbook and a Dell mobile workstation). I can switch my backup drive, scanner, and USB headset between the PC and the dock without having to get into the cabling. Serious time saver. My PC and my dock don't share video, and swapping the keyboard/mouse was a pain. So while this is NOT a KVM, nor is it designed to be one, I was easily able to share the keyboard and mouse between my PC and my dock using this USB switch. :) I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I really like the concept and design of this USB sharing switch. If you have a lot of computers and are sharing USB peripherals by moving cables around, this will allow you to connect them all together, and then with the included remote cabled switch, hide all those cables away and keep your work surface neat and tidy. One thing I did note was that for some USB Memory keys, you might need a microUSB cable to provide a little more power. This cable isn’t included and though most people have a bunch of them, it’s worth mentioning to have one handy during setup. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review

What a great device. Everything you need comes in the box. It includes a cable with a one button push to change computers accessibility to the shared devices. The led lights show which computer is active. They even included a USB Micro-B port to allow you to plug in a 5V power cable in case your peripheral requires more power than what the computer delivers through the normal USB 3.0 ports.
