Purpose

This bidirectional USB 3.0 switch lets two computers share one peripheral or one computer alternate between two peripherals with a single button press. It targets office workers, developers and home users who need quick manual switching without installing drivers or hunting for a power outlet.

Capacity and headroom

All three ports run at USB 3.0 specification with a maximum transfer rate of 5Gbps and remain backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. The switch handles flash drives, external hard drives, printers, keyboards, mice, scanners and webcams comfortably, but it has no external power input so high-draw devices that exceed bus power will not operate reliably.

Upgrade path

It replaces the habit of physically unplugging and replugging cables between machines, saving wear on ports and reducing desk clutter. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly move a single USB device between two computers or need one computer to access two separate storage drives in turn; it adds no benefit if you already use a network share or a powered KVM for the same task.

Questions about this item

Will the 5Gbps USB 3.0 ports on this switch work with my older USB 2.0 and 1.1 peripherals?

Yes, the three USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, so your existing peripherals will function normally.

How do I know which computer or device is currently active after I press the manual button?

The corresponding LED indicator lights up to show which channel is transmitting, giving immediate visual confirmation of the active connection.

Does the package include the cables needed to connect two computers, or must I buy them separately?

Two USB 3.0 cables are included in the box along with the switch and a user manual, so no extra cables are required for a typical two‑computer setup.
