    Had two of these, both after short while of use kept on disconnecting. Become a right pain in the neck to rewake wh8ilst in the middle of working. Reverted back to my older KBM KVM

    Did you use the external power cable? An old switch may not have been so power hungry.

    I very much doubt that this checks the state of the computer I/O before switching - so you would need to go through the "Safely remove device" on the computer before switching data storage away from it. Or corrupt files is pretty inevitable. Still, saves physically swapping cables around. Should be no worries with slow devices like keyboards and mice. You may lose the odd printed page on a printer, though.
    A shame that you can't switch/allocate ports individually though. That way, you could switch just the mouse and keyboard without taking the hard disk/flash drives with you. So you might be better, if going down this route, to buy two - one USB2 for the slow devices and keep this one just for USB storage devices.

    Can't you just have a cheaper usb hub and just have 2 cables, then switch the cable input rather than push a button?

    Yes, that is what I do for switching between work laptop and home desktop.
    I have a short USB extension on each device to plug into as it is easier to see.
    I do keep thinking about getting a decent push button solution though.

    Could you use this on holiday, when your room has one plug and you need to charge several devices?

    No, these are designed to share low powered PC peripherals and not general devices powered by USB that draw more power

    Thanks OP, ordered.

    Heat added.

    Had mine for over a year now. It's not meant really for storage or hard drives. It's more for keyboard, mouse, headphones. Just seen it for that and it works perfectly.

    A fair few worrying reviews; broke after a few months, and more bothersome, took out the rgb+media controls on his keyboard...I would be apprehensive connecting my keyboard after reading that.

    Do they do any of these with more USB ports? i have one but it is full (Keyboard Mouse Webcam Headphones)?
    Alex_H's avatar
    You should be able to plug in a USB hub if you need more ports. Should work for the lower powered usb devices you use.

    I have this exact one. I use it every day as I work from home over 1 year so far.

    It does what I need it to do. I only use this with mouse, keyboard and a printer and it works fine.

    However, it's pretty common that the mouse comes up as an unknown device and I have to unplug and replug it in. Only on switching never during use

    Might be the razor mouse is looking for software as i do not have the same issue with the keyboard (not a razor).

    Luckily the device is on my desk so it's easy enough to unplug and replug.

    I picked this over a kvm as I wanted to control the monitors separately. As my monitors support multiple sources

    Is there a docking station (one laptop, two monitors) can be used to switch between two laptops. I have two work laptops separate company. I wish to switch them from docking stations to use one set-up. Is it possible? Apologies out of deal question.
