Two-Computer USB Switch

The iDsonix U3S02 lets two computers share a single USB device such as a printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse or flash drive. A front-panel button toggles the active host instantly, and a blue LED shows which computer is connected. The compact black plastic housing keeps the desk tidy, and the unit works without drivers on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Two 3.3ft USB 3.0 cables are included for immediate setup.

Ideal For Single-Device Sharing

This switch suits home or office users who need to alternate one peripheral between two PCs, laptops or a computer and a phone. It also works for swapping a webcam, speakers or headset on a single machine. Buyers who must connect multiple devices simultaneously, or who need more than one upstream port, should consider a hub instead.

One USB 3.0 Upstream Port

The key specification is the single USB 3.0 host port running at 5 Gbps, paired with three USB 2.0 downstream ports. This layout supports one active device at a time and up to 127 USB devices in a daisy-chain topology. Verify that your peripheral does not require more than one upstream connection before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the model with one USB 3.0 port and three USB 2.0 ports or a different port mix?

This switch provides exactly one USB 3.0 port and three USB 2.0 ports; no other port configuration is offered for this model.

What does the 5 Gbps transfer rate deliver when I connect a flash drive?

The 5 Gbps rate is the USB 3.0 link speed; actual file-copy throughput will be lower and depends on the drive and host controller.

Does the USB 3.0 interface limit the number of devices I can daisy-chain?

The switch supports up to 127 USB devices and 63 FireWire devices across the bus, so the interface itself does not restrict typical peripheral counts.
