Two-PC USB sharing hub

This USB 3.0 switch connects two USB-C computers to four downstream ports, one USB-C and three USB-A. It lets a keyboard, mouse, headset and other peripherals move between a work laptop and a personal machine without replugging cables. No video routing is included, so monitors stay connected directly to each host. The unit draws optional power through a USB-C port for stable operation of bus-powered drives.

Suited for dual-computer desks.

Users who alternate between two laptops or a laptop and a desktop will appreciate the instant peripheral hand-off via button or remote. The switch supports Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux without drivers. Buyers who need to share a display between the same two hosts must add a separate video switch or KVM, because this device handles only USB data and power.

Sustained 5 Gbps throughput

Under continuous load the four USB 3.0 ports maintain up to 5 Gbps per port and remain backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. The optional USB-C power input keeps high-draw peripherals such as portable hard drives stable during long transfers, preventing the voltage drops that can occur on bus power alone. Switching is instant whether triggered by the front button or the handheld remote.

Questions about this item

Which cables must I already have to connect my two computers to the switch?

The switch includes two USB-C data cables, so you only need each computer to provide a USB-C port; no extra cables are required for the upstream links.

Can I still use my USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse through the 5Gbps ports?

Yes, the four USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0, so older keyboards, mice and other peripherals work without any speed penalty.

How do I confirm the active computer after pressing the remote or front button?

The front-panel LED shows which of the two upstream ports is currently selected, giving immediate visual confirmation that the switch has changed over.
