This product was exactly what I needed. I'm shocked that no one else sells a KM switch with independent switches. This is the only product I could find anywhere to do this. Does exactly what the product states. The switching process takes instant to about 3 seconds before the other device responds. For anyone interested, this device works great with consoles. We paired a mouse, keyboard, and dac with a headset attached between a windows pc and a xbox one x. The switch worked perfectly. Also this device comes with a power cable which is awesome. Most devices you find require you to supply your own power if its needed. Another pro is the design. Most KM switches have the in ports on one side, and out ports on the other side. This device has them all on one side so it looks clean on your desk. Also having a dedicated usb port for each device on the left and right sides is actually really useful. As I said, no one out there is selling something like this. I hope these people don't stop either. I want them to place this on major sites like Newegg and Amazon so more people can find it. I do have a few minor gripes about the product. The major one is the buttons used for switching. The buttons are a little specific on where you have to press to have it work. Mine make me have to press on the lip of the button, and with a little more pressure than I prefer. It works fine but I'd just like some tweaks on that. Next problem is that this is usb 2.0. Its not their fault and I don't count this as a issue with the device, but I want to mention it so they may decide to create a new version that uses 3.0. Other than that I understand this is meant for office spaces and corporate locations, but as a consumer I'd like to see a more modern design on it. Still, all these problems, are extremely minor. The product is amazing and works as needed. tl:dr - Product works perfectly, with a few extremely minor tweaks I wish it had. I wish there were more KMs like this out there.

Product is a great value for the money. For a couple of reasons I am only using the manual switching vs software control. The Sharing Switch was a breeze to hookup and worked great straight out of the box. Sharing a printer, scanner and memory stick between my work laptop and my home computer.

Exactly what I needed and arrived very quickly! The product was of a noticeably high build quality and does exactly what I expected. I was suffering from my USB accessories failing from poor power issues and this switcher allows me to use my work laptop with my existing keyboard/mouse/monitors that are connected to my desktop machine. I love it!
