What it does and who it’s for

This USB 3.0 KVM switch lets two computers share one USB-C and three USB-A peripherals. It is aimed at users who split time between a work laptop and a personal desktop and want a single keyboard, mouse, printer or flash drive without unplugging cables. The box includes two USB-A-to-A cables, one USB-C power cable and a USB-C-to-A adapter. It draws power from the USB-C port so no separate mains adapter is needed.

The spec that decides fit

The switch provides 5 Gbps bandwidth over USB 3.0 and handles data only; it does not pass video signals or support Thunderbolt, HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA. If you need to share a monitor or deliver charging power to a laptop, this unit will not meet that need. The four downstream ports are strictly for data transfer, so high-power devices may require their own supply.

Install experience and common issues

Push buttons on the top select the active computer and LEDs show which one is connected; no drivers are required on Windows, macOS, Linux or Chrome OS. The compact 3.5 by 2.5 by 0.3 inch enclosure sits neatly on a desk. The only frequent problem is forgetting that the USB-C port supplies power to the switch itself, not to attached devices, so a busy hub may need external power.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps bandwidth mean when I connect a flash drive?

The 5 Gbps figure is the maximum theoretical speed of the USB 3.0 ports; real-world transfer rates will be lower and depend on the drive and computer.

How does the USB 3.0 interface limit what I can plug in?

The switch uses USB 3.0 for data only, so it cannot carry video signals or deliver high power to devices such as monitors or bus-powered hard drives.

Will the switch fit on a crowded desk and what cables reach the PCs?

The unit measures 3.5 by 2.5 by 0.3 inches and includes two USB-A to A cables plus one USB-C power cable for the host computers.
