USB 3.0 Switch Selector 4 Computers - Share 4 USB Devices Easily

In this review the USB 3.0 Switch Selector is presented as a straightforward solution for users who need to share multiple USB peripherals between several machines. It works best for small offices, mixed Windows/Linux desks, or creative workflows where a keyboard, mouse, printer and external drive must be available to four different computers without constantly swapping cables. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: it lets users switch which computer controls connected USB devices with either the top button or the included wireless remote.

Key Features

• 4-port USB 3.0 sharing: Lets four computers access up to four USB A devices without reconnecting cables, simplifying multi-system setups.
• High speed transfers: USB 3.0 ports support fast data throughput up to the USB 3.0 bandwidth for quick file access and responsiveness with compatible drives.
• Two switching methods: Offers a tactile top button and a wireless remote so the unit can be hidden while remaining easy to switch.
• External power support: Includes a Micro USB 5V power supply to reliably run high-power devices like external hard drives and printers.
• Broad device compatibility: Works with keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, flash drives, card readers, webcams and gamepads for flexible peripheral sharing.

Who It's For

The switch is ideal for small teams, home offices, or hobbyists who operate multiple computers at one desk and need to share peripherals without complex network sharing. IT technicians who test software across machines will also appreciate the quick switching and the remote control for convenience.

It is not for users who expect video switching or monitor sharing, since this is not a KVM switch and does not handle HDMI/DP/VGA signals. Also, those needing native USB driver-free plug and play on every legacy device should be prepared to wait for host systems to install drivers when devices are first connected.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Simple hardware switching between four computers removes cable swapping and speeds up workflow.
• Wireless remote keeps the desktop tidy and lets the unit be placed out of sight while remaining accessible.
• External Micro USB 5V power option stabilizes operation for high-power peripherals.
• Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices for broad use.

Cons

• Does not switch video signals or act as a KVM; monitors must be handled separately.
• Some users report occasional connectivity quirks that may require reconnecting devices or adding the supplied power supply for stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this switch video or act as a KVM?
No. This unit only switches USB devices and does not support HDMI, DP or VGA video switching.

Do I need the included power supply?
The switch works without external power for low-power devices, but the Micro USB 5V supply is recommended for stable operation with high-power peripherals like external hard drives and printers.

Does it require drivers?
Most modern systems will auto-install drivers when devices are first connected; wait for the host to recognize each device, and use the external power if a device fails to initialize reliably.
