About this item
Product details
The USB221SS 2-to-1 USB 3.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch lets you share a single USB 3.0 peripheral with 2 different computer systems, avoiding the cost of purchasing duplicate peripherals or the hassle of swapping cables from one system to another.
The USB sharing switch delivers speed and flexibility, with simple push-button controls for switching between computers, and support for SuperSpeed USB bandwidth (up to 5 Gbps) ensuring fast data transfers to/from your shared peripheral device. The switch is also backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 (480Mbps, 12Mbps respectively), so you don't have to worry about your computer or older peripherals not performing.
The 2-port USB switch can also be connected to a USB hub, to expand the number of devices you can share between the two connected systems, or to a USB drive enclosure or docking station, for a shared external storage solution.
The switch features a compact design that takes up minimal desk space and is USB-powered, so it doesn't require an AC wall outlet.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Great for switching my keyboard and mouse between two systems
A solution for Home Office
I bought this yesterday to allow me to switch a poawerd USB hub hosting 4 displays, a keyboard and Mouse and a Webcam between my personal laptop and my organisation work laptop. I used to have to unplug USB from one and plug in the other to switch computer, but now I can, with the push of a button, switch easily and without wear and tear to the USB Ports. This was easy to install, and worked first time straight out of the box.
