Bi-Directional USB 3.0 KVM Switch

This aluminium KVM switch lets two computers share a single USB 3.0 peripheral or lets one computer toggle between two USB devices. No external power supply or driver installation is required. A single button swaps the active connection while blue LEDs show which port is live. The metal shell resists fingerprints and helps dissipate heat during extended use.

5 Gbps bandwidth with USB 2.0 and 1.1 fallback

The switch supports up to 5 Gbps data throughput and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. It comfortably handles keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, card readers, flash drives, external hard disks and webcams. The connection is purely for USB data; video or HDMI signals are not supported, so displays must be wired separately.

Replaces manual cable swapping for dual-PC desks

Users who currently unplug and replug USB gear when moving between two computers gain instant one-button switching. The upgrade is worthwhile when peripherals are shared several times a day and driver-free operation across Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS is needed. It does not suit setups that require simultaneous access from both machines or any video routing.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link still run at full speed if I connect a USB 2.0 printer or scanner?

Yes, the switch is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, so older peripherals work normally while newer devices keep their 5 Gbps rate.

How do I know which computer is active after I press the button?

A blue LED on the aluminium housing lights up to show the currently selected computer.

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

Two USB 3.0 cables are supplied in the box, so you can connect both computers straight away.
