USB C Switch for 2 Computers - Share 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C Peripherals

In this review the USB C Switch for 2 Computers is evaluated for users who need to share multiple data peripherals between two hosts without swapping cables. The bottom line: it is a focused, no-frills solution for people who want reliable high-speed data switching for keyboards, mice, printers, and external drives. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of 10Gbps data transfer and a convenient remote control that keeps a tidy desk and makes switching nearly effortless.

Key Features

• Data-only switching: Designed strictly for data devices, this switch guarantees predictable peripheral behavior because it does not attempt video or host charging functions.
• Four-port sharing: The unit shares two USB-A and two USB-C peripherals between two computers, removing the need for multiple cables and repeated plugging.
• 10Gbps ports: High-speed USB 3.0 rated ports mean large files on external SSDs and other high-bandwidth devices move quickly between host systems.
• Remote control and button switching: An RF remote plus a local button let you switch hosts from across the room, so the switch can be tucked out of sight.
• Wake support: The switch supports system wake-up from keyboard or mouse on multiple operating systems, helping maintain a seamless workflow when switching back to a sleeping machine.
• Optional power port: A separate power input is available to stabilize connections for power-hungry drives, reducing the chance of disconnects when host power is limited.

Who It's For

This product is best for dual-computer workstations where only data peripherals need to be shared, for example an office that alternates between a laptop and a desktop or a home studio switching storage and input devices. It suits users who value fast data transfer and a cleaner desk with fewer cable changes.

It is not appropriate for users who need video switching, host charging, or compatibility with phones, Android tablets, USB-C monitors, or video adapters. Users requiring iOS, Android, or Ubuntu guarantees should look elsewhere because functionality on those platforms is not supported or guaranteed.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable high-speed performance with 10Gbps ports for fast access to external storage.
• Convenient remote control and local button make switching quick and keep the unit out of sight.
• Supports wake-from-keyboard or mouse across operating systems for quick resume after switching.
• Optional power port helps with power-hungry peripherals and reduces disconnections.

Cons

• No video support or host charging, so it will not replace a full KVM for video or power needs.
• Compatibility is limited; phones, Android tablets, some operating systems, and USB-C monitors are not supported.
