Two-computer, four-device USB 2.0 switch

This KVM switch lets two computers share four USB 2.0 peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, headsets or flash drives. A single button press or the included desktop controller moves control between the machines without unplugging cables. The unit works with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Chrome OS using plug-and-play drivers. It is aimed at users who need to keep multiple peripherals connected while alternating between two systems.

Plug-and-play setup with optional power

Installation requires only connecting the supplied cables to each computer and attaching the four devices to the switch ports; no software or drivers are needed. An LED on the faceplate shows which computer is active. If a high-power peripheral such as an external hard drive, SSD or digital video camera is used, a separate 5 V adapter must be connected; otherwise the switch draws power from the USB ports. The desktop controller cable length may limit placement on larger desks.

Steady operation for everyday peripherals

Under continuous use the switch maintains a stable connection for standard USB 2.0 devices like input hardware, printers and card readers. Switching is near-instant and does not disrupt active file transfers on low-bandwidth peripherals. High-draw devices require the external adapter to avoid port brown-out during sustained transfers. The unit is not designed for charging multiple power-hungry gadgets simultaneously without that adapter.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the FOCUSTEC USB 2.0 KVM Switch is working correctly after connecting two computers and four peripherals?

The LED on the faceplate or Desktop Controller lights up to show which computer is active; press the button or use the controller to toggle and verify each connected device responds on the selected PC.

What cables and accessories are included in the box, and what must I purchase separately?

The package includes the switch unit, a Desktop Controller, and cables to link both computers; no extra driver is needed, but a 5 V power adapter must be bought separately if you attach high-power devices such as HDDs or SSDs.

Which version of this switch should I choose if I only need to share a keyboard and mouse versus four USB 2.0 devices?

This single model provides four USB 2.0 ports for sharing up to four peripherals between two computers; if you need fewer ports, you would have to select a different product not described here.
