My old PC died and I wanted to copy some of the files from the HDD to the new machine this is a simple plug and play device that allows you to do just that.Yo do need a power supply near by however for the secondary power cable as well as the connector to your second machine.
My current setup is: 2 screens and 3 computers. I am using this hub to switch my keyboard and mouse from all 3 computers (2 work computers and 1 personal computer)Pros:* Simple to setup and to make work (plug and play)* Works for both Linux and Windows out of the box.* No more 3 keyboards and 3 mouses* Allows to plug a micro usb cable to give more current.Cons:* Seems like there is an error / race condition if you switch too fast / come back too fast while clicking that triggers a blue screen on Windows.* Sometimes the signal does not seem to trigger correctly and not all usb are working, which requires clicking on the button to switch again and again until all usb works.* Sometimes Windows doesn't want anything to do with the device, then you reboot and all is good.Neutral:* Since it is not mandatory for it to work, it's not a negative but if you need more power there's a possibility to plug micro usb to give more power. However the cable is not included.

Funktioniert ansich schon, musste aber feststellen das es die 5V von einem Computer zum Anderen schickt.Das nennt sich Rückspeisung, ist eine Designfehler den leider viele solche Switches haben und kann zu Funktionsfehlern bei den PCs bis hin zu dauerhaft beschädigter USB-Port-Elektronik führen.Ich werde es nicht mehr benutzen und kann es auch keinesfalls empfehlen.Ich habe jetzt eins von Digitus ( B07HC8QZPH ), kaum teurer und keine Rückspeisung.
Dead handy this.I use to easily switch my steering wheel and headset between my PS5 and PC. Saves messing about moving cables etc.The leads out the back are long, so don't need to worry about that.Only change I would make, the USB leads come out the back but so does the lead with the switch on.Makes cabke management a little but more tricky
