Share Four USB 2.0 Devices Between Two Computers

The ESTONE USB 2.0 switch lets two PCs or Macs share up to four peripherals such as a printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse or flash drive. A single button toggles the active system while LEDs show which computer is connected. No drivers are required for Windows, macOS, Linux or Chrome OS, making setup immediate for home or small-office users who want to avoid cable swapping or network configuration.

Sustained Operation With Optional External Power

The switch draws power from the USB bus during normal use, which is sufficient for low-draw devices like keyboards and mice. A dedicated micro-USB port accepts a standard 5 V adapter when higher-draw peripherals such as portable hard drives or SSDs are connected, preventing disconnects during long transfers. Only a 5 V supply is supported; higher voltages will degrade performance and must not be used.

Passive Cooling And Silent Operation

With no fan or moving parts, the unit runs silently and adds negligible heat to a desk setup. Power consumption stays minimal because the circuitry only routes active USB 2.0 signals between the selected computer and the four downstream ports. The compact plastic housing requires no airflow clearance, so it can sit alongside other equipment without thermal concerns.

Questions about this item

Does the ESTONE USB 2.0 Switch draw power from the PCs or need its own adapter when running all day?

It is bus-powered from the connected computers, and a separate 5 V adapter can be added through the micro-USB port if you attach power-hungry devices such as hard drives.

Which cables must I already have to connect two computers and four peripherals?

The box includes two USB cables for the PC links and one charging cable; you only need the standard USB cables that came with your mouse, keyboard, printer or other peripherals.

Will the switch work with a Windows 7 desktop and a Mac running OS X at the same time?

Yes, the switch supports Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS X, Linux and Chrome OS simultaneously, so both systems can share the four USB 2.0 ports.
