Complete sharing kit

The basecolors Usb2sw is a USB 2.0 KVM switch sold with two matching cables so two computers can share printers, keyboards, scanners and mice without extra purchases. A manual push button selects the active system and the aluminium housing handles heat during continuous use. Mac, Windows and Linux are all supported out of the box.

Build integration

The unit needs a free USB 2.0 port on each computer and provides two downstream ports for peripherals. Bi‑directional wiring lets it work as 1‑in‑2‑out or 2‑in‑1‑out, freeing desk space by removing duplicate keyboards, mice or printers. No external power supply is required and the 3‑amp wire gauge covers typical peripheral loads.

Upgrade context

This replaces the habit of unplugging and replugging cables when moving between two machines. The jump is worth it when a keyboard, mouse, printer or scanner must stay connected to both systems simultaneously. It does not suit setups that need more than two computers or peripherals that demand bandwidth above USB 2.0.
