Two-Computer USB 3.0 Sharing Switch

This Sabrent USB-SW30 switch lets a single USB peripheral set serve two computers with a single button press. No drivers are required, so setup is immediate on any system with an available USB 3.0 port. Blue LEDs indicate which computer is active. The device supports data rates up to 5Gbps.

Hub-Compatible Port Expansion

The single shared downstream port accepts a USB hub, allowing multiple peripherals such as keyboards, mice or USB graphics adapters to be swapped together. Plug-and-play operation means the hub and its connected devices move between the two hosts without re-enumeration delays. LED indicators remain visible for quick status checks.

Ideal for Dual-System Desks, Not for Video KVM

Suits users who need to share USB input devices and storage between two workstations while keeping separate displays. It does not switch video signals, so buyers who want a single monitor, keyboard and mouse controlling both computers should look at a dedicated KVM with video ports.

Questions about this item

What component of the Sabrent USB-SW30 is most likely to need replacement after extended use?

The mechanical switching button is the primary moving part and may wear out after repeated daily switching between the two connected computers.

What limit appears first when the Sabrent USB-SW30 runs continuously with active data transfers?

The USB 3.0 bandwidth ceiling of 5 Gbps is the first bottleneck when multiple high-speed peripherals share the switch simultaneously.

How much heat or noise does the Sabrent USB-SW30 produce when left running all day?

The unit has no fan and draws minimal power, so it remains silent and barely warm to the touch even during continuous operation.
