Two-computer USB 3.0 KVM switch

This FANTEC KVM switch lets two computers share four USB 3.0 peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers and scanners. A single button toggles control between the connected PCs without unplugging cables or installing network-sharing software. The unit is driver-free and works with Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. It suits home-office users who want a tidy desk and instant switching.

Four ports at 5 Gbps with legacy support

Each of the four downstream ports delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer speed for high-bandwidth USB 3.0 devices. The switch remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 equipment so older peripherals continue to function. Bandwidth is shared across the active ports, so simultaneous heavy transfers on multiple drives will reduce per-device throughput. Users needing dedicated 5 Gbps lanes for every device will find this topology limiting.

Bundled cables enable immediate use

The package includes the KVM switch and a micro-USB cable for power or firmware updates, allowing the unit to operate straight from the box. No additional drivers, utilities or configuration tools are supplied or required. The LED indicators show which computer is active, removing guesswork during switching. Buyers who need longer cables or a remote switch must source those separately.

Questions about this item

Will the four USB 3.0 ports run at full 5Gbps speed when I connect an older USB 2.0 printer?

The switch is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, so the printer will work but at its native 2.0 speed rather than the 5Gbps maximum.

How can I confirm the KVM is actively controlling the correct computer after I press the button?

The LED indicator lights green or blue to show which of the two connected computers is currently selected.

Does the box include all cables needed to link two PCs and four peripherals, or must I buy extra leads?

The package supplies the KVM unit and a micro-USB charging cable; the two host USB cables and any peripheral cables are not included.
