Share Your Device(s) With Simplicity

The Plugable USB 3.0 Sharing Switch (USB3-SWITCH2) is the ideal solution for one-touch switching of access between two computers to a:

  • Powered USB 3.0 hub
  • USB keyboard/mouse
  • USB 3.0 graphics adapter
  • USB 3.0 docking station
  • Virtually any other USB 3.0/2.0/1.0 device

Features

One-Touch Switching

A single button press is all that's required to toggle between connected computers. Blue LED indicator lights show which connected computer has control.

Potential To Do More

Looking to provide two-computer access to a single keyboard, mouse, and display? Just attach the switch to a powered USB hub, then connect all your desired peripherals for an all-USB KVM solution.

Just Plug In And Switch Away

Switch works with any USB-enabled computer without drivers. Attached external devices will still require drivers as usual.
