Sharing a keyboard, mouse, and external hard drive between a work PC and a personal computer usually means swapping cables or keeping two sets of peripherals. This USB3.2 switch aims to solve that by letting two computers share the same USB devices through a compact switch, and it's priced at $13.92.
Quick verdict
If you want a simple way to share wired and wireless USB peripherals across two computers, this switch delivers the essentials. It has four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports running at up to 10 Gbps, and you can toggle between computers with a panel button or a 1.5-meter wired remote. It won't handle video, so it's not a KVM switch.
Who it suits
This fits anyone with a work laptop and a personal desktop who wants to use one keyboard, mouse, printer, or external drive across both machines. Wireless keyboard and mouse users are covered too, since the switch supports wireless peripherals. If you need to switch a monitor as well, a separate KVM solution is required.
Notable features
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports support speeds up to 10 Gbps and are backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 gear. The included cables and wired remote make the switch easy to place, and an LED indicator shows which computer is active.
USB3.2 Switch - 2 Computers - 10 Gbps - Cables and Wired Remote
This compact switch connects to two computers and lets you share your USB peripherals. It includes a wired remote (1.5m) and the cables you need to get started. The switch uses a USB-C connection, so it's best matched with computers that have USB-C ports.
Meaningful trade-offs
The main limitation is that it doesn't support a monitor, so video switching is out of the picture. It also shares only four USB devices, which covers a typical keyboard, mouse, printer, and one drive, but not a fully loaded setup. Because it relies on USB-C, older computers without USB-C ports may need an adapter, and the speed you actually get depends on your devices and cables.
Bottom line
At $13.92, this USB3.2 switch is a low-cost, focused solution for sharing USB peripherals between two computers. It offers fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a handy remote, and a straightforward switching mechanism. Just keep in mind that it only handles USB sharing, not video.
