4-Port USB 3.0 KVM Switch

The Jansicotek switch lets two computers share four USB 3.0 peripherals with a single button press. It targets home users and small offices that want to avoid cable swapping or network-share configuration for printers, scanners, keyboards, mice or storage drives.

Bus-powered with optional 5 V input

The unit draws power from the USB bus and includes a micro-USB port for an external 5 V adapter when high-draw devices such as hard drives or SSDs are connected. No driver installation is required on Windows, macOS, Linux or Chrome OS, and LED indicators show the active computer at a glance.

USB 3.0 bandwidth shared across four ports

All four downstream ports share the single 5 Gbps upstream link, so simultaneous heavy transfers from multiple drives will contend for throughput. The switch only handles USB data; it does not pass video, audio or dedicated charging protocols, so users needing monitor switching or fast charging must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the switch use and what speed does it cap at?

The switch uses USB 3.0, capping data transfer at 5 Gbps for each of the four shared ports.

What does the unit need to fit on a desk and connect to two computers?

It needs a free USB-A port on each computer, the two supplied USB cables, and a flat surface for the compact switch housing.

How is it installed and which step do people often miss?

Plug the two USB cables into the computers, attach peripherals to the four ports, press the button to swap; the step often missed is adding a 5 V adapter to the micro-USB power port when using high-draw devices.
