USB 3 0 Switch Selector Bi-Directional USB Switch 2 in 1 Out 1 in 2 Out MLEEDA USB3

I am using this to share one docking station (StarTech USB, three monitors, speakers, Keyboard and Mouse) with two laptops. The transition between laptops is seemless and quick. The performance has been excellent, and it is small enough to EASILY be out of the way. The remote button is great, comes with doublesided tape for easy attachment to a monitor stand. The entire process to setup took me five minutes, very easy and straight forward. All the needed cables were included. A true one-box solution Excellent product. Expect I'll be buying more in the future! Read more

Like other reviews mentioned, there can be issues when switch 1 is selected. Both lights on the remote appear on. Switch 1 sometimes works, but often gets flakey or sends signal to output 2. My keyboard lights sometimes flicker when switch 1 is selected. I’ve tried reseating and switching the cables. When it works it’s great. The remote makes it really convenient to switch which computer my keyboard is connected to. It just only works half the time. I don’t see any good alternatives so I’m rolling the dice and getting a replacement. Update: The replacement switch works great! Read more

I really wish this device had better power management. Sharing the power between two different devices is generally a bad idea. I've been using this to switch a powered USB 3.0 dock between my work laptop and my desktop. This way I could easily switch my keyboard, mouse, headset, microphone, and other devices between the two. I really liked that this device came with the button that you could stick anywhere for easy access and was one of the primary reasons I bought this device. It worked great for a while but then I started getting issues with my connected USB devices just dropping off the hub and reconnecting. I was currently working so I just unplugged my desktop and it fixed the issue. Later when I got on my desktop the USB controller wasn't working. I had to plug into a different USB port to get it to work again. This was the only device connected to those ports for that controller so I don't see what else could have caused it to fail. I tried reinstalling the drivers and reformatting the machine and the ports still don't work. I still have plenty of ports on the back of the machine but I am disappointed it fried one of my USB controllers. I would rather have a device like this but that is self powered and isolates the different connections. I would not use this for anything mission critical. I now have to physically unplug and switch the connection between the two machines again making this product useless for me. This would have been an amazing device for the price if it wasn't for this flaw. I wanted to give more stars but considering this product is marketed for the exact use case I was doing and it did harm to my device I can't give it more. I'm just glad it didn't damage my type-c dock. Read more

Great idea and form factor but the button started failing within a few months and after 7 months the button is working poorly. I hear a click noise but nothing switches over. Seller support was excellent. Read more

I need a device like this to plug in two USB cameras in my car and be able to control it with a remote like the "Desktop Extension Switcher" included in the package. This is the newest version of the 3 models advertised and I am giving 5 stars for the following reasons: 1. It's Bi-directional technology makes connection flow flexible. 2. The USB version is 3.0. 3. It has wired remote control (It would be nice to design a push remote button that looks like an automotive OEM in future). 4. For its small size, it is heavier than what I imagined. This means the build quality is nice. 5. The buttons are hard plastic that makes a clicking sound when you push. 6. No overheating was noticed for the period of time I successfully tested it. This product is well recommended. Read more

Worked fine -- for a little less than one year. Disappointing. With so many cheap electronic products like this one, you get what you pay for. Read more
