USB 2.0 sharing switch

This Jansicotek USB 2.0 switch connects four peripheral ports to two computers with a single-button swap. No driver installation is required on Windows, macOS, Linux or Chrome OS. The unit draws power from the USB bus and includes a micro-USB port for an optional 5 V adapter when driving higher-draw devices. LED indicators show which system is active.

Home and small-office users sharing peripherals

The switch suits anyone who wants to share a printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse or flash drive between two PCs or Macs without unplugging cables. Buyers who need to connect more than two computers or who require USB 3.0 or higher transfer rates should choose a different device. It also does not support video or audio switching.

Four USB 2.0 ports shared between two systems

The decisive specification is the four USB 2.0 downstream ports that are switched between two upstream computer connections. This fixed 4-to-2 topology determines whether the device matches the user's peripheral count and host count.

Which cables do I need to connect this KVM switch to both computers?

Two USB 2.0 cables with standard Type-A connectors are required to link the switch to each computer.
