USB 3.0 sharing switch for two computers

The GCROWN USB 3.0 sharing switch lets one USB 3.0 device or hub move between two computers with a single button press. LED indicators show which system currently controls the attached peripherals. It is aimed at users who share a docking station, keyboard, mouse or graphics adapter across a pair of USB-enabled machines without installing extra software.

One upstream device with two hosts

A single USB 3.0 peripheral or powered hub connects to the switch and is presented to whichever computer is active. The switch does not support USB-C or Thunderbolt docks that rely on Power Delivery or Alt Mode video, so those configurations cannot be used. Cable runs should stay under 1.8 m to the peripheral and the supplied 3.3 ft cables are recommended for the host links.

Passive operation with no driver overhead

The unit draws power from the host USB ports and adds no active cooling, so it runs silently and without measurable thermal output. Because it is a pure USB 3.0 electrical switch, there is no firmware to update and no driver load on either computer beyond what the attached devices already require. It is not suited for setups that need simultaneous access from both machines or for Thunderbolt-based docking stations.

Questions about this item

Will the GCROWN USB 3.0 Sharing Switch let me keep using my older USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse through a powered hub?

Yes, you can attach a powered USB hub with your keyboard, mouse and other peripherals, then switch the whole hub between two computers with the front button.

How do I know which computer currently controls the shared devices after I press the button?

LED indicator lights on the switch show which connected computer has control of the attached USB device or hub.

Does the box include the cables needed to connect both computers, or do I buy them separately?

The package provides two 1 m (3.3 ft) cables to link the switch to each computer; no extra cables are required for a basic two-PC setup.
