I saw in other USB switching products by other brands that they were having issues with computers duplicating devices connected to the hub until it runs out of connections and doesn't connect anymore. I think that won't happen with this Anker USB hub. Whenever I switch host, this switch completely cuts power for about one second before connecting it to the other host.This comes with three USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. Internally, the top layer of the hub connects to these four links: three USB 3.0 ports and an internal USB 2.0 hub. The next layer from the internal USB 2.0 hub connects to the front and rear USB 2.0 ports. You may run into issues if you're connecting this into further daisy-chained USB hubs.All in all, it's a pretty reliable USB hub. The power-only USB port is a nice addition in case I need to connect any power-hungry devices to the hub.

Product does not work as expected, Switching between devices is intermittent and not working as expected.

Works perfect! Lightweight and little power requirement, even for USB-C and USB 3.0 transfers.

I’m not sure why this doesn’t have more reviews on it?! I’ve been using Anker products for years without any issues so when I came across this USB Switch I had to get it compared to other brands. It’s a little bit more expensive than other brands but you’re paying for the peace of mind that it works. I have my headset, mouse, keyboard, and USB C external SSD plugged into it and I love how seamless it all works between my gaming and streaming PC. The switch button itself has “PC1” & “PC2” with orange and blue colors to easily tell which PC you are connected to. When you hit the switch it takes roughly 3-4 seconds for everything to switch to the other PC. I love also that it comes with an adapter for USB C connections if you’d rather have that over USB A connections to your PCs. One final note is that on the opposite sides of the switches there is a dedicated usb slot for your keyboard/mouse for less interference.Oh also the keyboard and mouse work very fast with no latency that I can feel. Gaming feels great in competitive esport games as well as competitive FPS! I would happily buy this switch again if I ever needed another one! 5/5 stars for me

For some reason my mouse and keyboard occasionally stop working when using this switcher. But for quickly switching between 2 PCs it’s very effective.
