ABLEWE USB 3.0 Switch Selector on Amazon!
So, you might be wondering, what the heck a USB switch selector is. Well, it might be easier if I tell you what problem it solves for me instead. I bought this bad boy because my 5 year old son has recently started playing Minecraft in the last few months and he is using a mouse and keyboard that is quite compact and works great for him. Now, his school wants him to use a laptop issued by the school, so he now needs to have "his mouse and keyboard" connected to his Minecraft computer AND the school laptop. The ABLEWE switch selector lets me keep the keyboard and mouse connected to the switch, and then press a button to choose which computer the mouse and keyboard will control (it cant control both at the same time).
This device is basically a USB hub, for up to 4 devices, with a button on it that lets you connect those devices to 2 computers (1 computer at a time). It comes with two usb cables and is ready to use right out of the box. It has a micro usb connection for 5 volt power, but this is not necessary when you use standard USB devices. If your USB devices require additional power then you may need to purchase an additional Micro USB cable. So far, the switch is working well and my son can switch it on his own depending on if he is doing school work or playing Minecraft.
With over 1600 reviews (and 81% of them 4 or 5-star), the is Amazons Choice in the "printer switch"category. Users say that it "Works excellently, easy to use, small footprint, and inexpensive" and "Overall a satisfying buy." I couldn't agree more!
Some users have reported that the USB ports are a tight fit. Also, one user says that the switch will automatically switch to an active computer if the current computer goes to sleep. I have not been able to verify this operation, and haven't experienced this, that I know of. This could be a benefit if that is how you would like it to work though.
If you need to conveniently switch USB devices between two computers, then the ABLEWE Switch is the right product for you.
