    I have this. Works very well for my use case. My main PC is connected via display port and work laptop with HDMI. So just need to change source on monitor.

    • Romper Stomper on 30/11/2020 - 16:51

      It requires power supply via a USB-C port. Do you connect it to your main PC for 24/7 power supply?

      • Yowiefied on 30/11/2020 - 18:13

        It doesn't require a USB-C port, it's a micro-USB port and i've got it connected to a standard iphone charger.

      • turkz1 on 30/11/2020 - 18:18

        Not powering mine at all and it works fine. Devices on it are mouse, keyboard, webcam and NZXT hue lightstrip controller.

        • Romper Stomper on 30/11/2020 - 18:27

          awsome. thanks.

        • superm86 on 30/11/2020 - 20:16

          Yeah.same . No external power supply required if you are not charging devices. My mouse keyboard and headset working nicely.

  • morediscount on 30/11/2020 - 16:33

    wish it also had an hdmi .. would be awesome

    • clover on 30/11/2020 - 16:41

      Yeah, need the HDMi so I can switch between monitors too.

      Look for a KVM switch in that case.

      I have this and just change the input on my monitor from DP => HDMI, so it's two buttons without dealing with a super expensive hub.

      I believe you're looking for this: https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-Switcher-Extended-Computer-…

      • morediscount on 30/11/2020 - 17:21

        yes brilliant .. now I can switch between my work and home laptops .. cheers

      • nicki1974 on 30/11/2020 - 20:41

        I have the Ugreen to switch between my uni and work laptop. It is fantastic.

      • justtoreply on 02/12/2020 - 10:15

        Wow that's a clunker. About time they updated it.

        It genuinely has USB1 ports!
        Nothing faster than USB2!
        And I get it could be a design decision.. but.. USB-B for printers..

        All they really need to do is take the one in the OP and add HDMI to it and it would be perfect.

    • Keplaffintech on 30/11/2020 - 21:12

      Most monitors will auto detect input and switch to it.

      I have one of these and both display outputs permanently connected to my monitor. Works perfectly.

    Bought this last week to share keyboard and mouse between work pc and home pc.. works very well

  • Fergy1987 on 30/11/2020 - 16:39

    Ugh I just bought the USB 2.0 version when it was on sale on Friday - Well thats annoying.

    • Balljuice on 30/11/2020 - 16:44

      Any chance of canceling your order?

      • Fergy1987 on 30/11/2020 - 16:47

        Nah I received it this morning. Ridiculously fast shipping.

        • shiznit on 30/11/2020 - 17:02

          You could return it, if you haven't used it yet.

  • q28 on 30/11/2020 - 16:41

    Does anyone know how it compares to this: https://www.amazon.com.au/HARIBOL-Display-Docking-Station-Di…

    Seems quite similar; around the same price, but more ports.

    • Balljuice on 30/11/2020 - 16:43

      That's a docking station, this device is a USB switch

    • Fergy1987 on 30/11/2020 - 16:43

      One is a docking station and this one has a switch to switch between devices. The one you linked you would have to unplug the docking station and plug it into another computer. This deal is connected to both PCs

      • q28 on 30/11/2020 - 16:46

        Gotcha, thanks for the explanation guys

  • ClioB on 30/11/2020 - 16:55

    Same product but USB 2.0 is now AU$21.59 for Prime members, $26.99 for non-Prime members.

    I'm only using this to switch peripherals, so have ordered the cheaper (USB 2.0) version.

  • giventofly on 30/11/2020 - 16:56

    Got this one. Really good. Just wish it had a wired remote.

  • ndr2h on 30/11/2020 - 17:58

    Perfect - was on the look out for one of these. Thank you OP.

  • Yowiefied on 30/11/2020 - 18:16

    I've been using this since around March, and it works very well across all devices (a logitech webcam, a plantronics usb wireless headset, a gigabyte wireless mouse, and a wired keyboard). Has not missed a beat and would absolutely recommend anyone after a solid USB switcher to anyone. I'm not affiliated in anyway, just someone who's worked with KVM's for over 20 years now and it's nice when something works as advertised.

  • SEasternCry on 30/11/2020 - 18:25

    Whats the point of this when you can use an app or software like mouse without borders?
    edit: For your mouse and keyboard at least… still can copy and paste between devices.

    • YeboMate on 30/11/2020 - 23:16

      Because this doesn’t require both devices to be on. I switch between home desktop and work laptop and I don’t necessarily keep home desktop on when using laptop so I would assume the switch would work in my case and not the software solution.

    • happykamper on 03/12/2020 - 10:15

      Because if you're switching to work laptop, you might not be able to use that application due to your company software policy, or VPN blocking the software from working on your LAN.

  • Domingo on 30/11/2020 - 18:27

    I use one to switch a headset, webcam and desktop mic, works really well. Feels very well made and high quality.

    My only knock on it is that cables come out of both sides, so hard to mount it really neatly for cable management - but haven't seen anything better. Would be nice if all 6 USB ports were on the same side, or even if the 2 computer ports were on the sides instead of one of the long edges.

  • mrkorrupt on 30/11/2020 - 18:34

    Can you use this with docking station

    Pc1 pc2

      Switch

    Docking station

    kB mouse and monitors

    • Domingo on 30/11/2020 - 18:59

      Interesting idea, haven't tried that. You could potentially also put the kB and mouse into this and just use the docking station as a USB to video adapter

  • littlesoldier on 30/11/2020 - 19:03

    I think this will be more useful if its a KVM switch (with HDMI for example)
    most sharable devices doesn't really need USB 3.0 speed
    and most keyboards or mouse only requires USB 2.0

    This 3.0 switch is overkill in terms of USB speed
    but lacking monitor switching feature
    so in summary, it doesn't worth buying imo….

    Something like this for $21 will do the job:

    • skittlebrau on 30/11/2020 - 19:54

      It depends on the monitor and video signal you're looking to use for switching.

      If for example you're on the bleeding edge and you need DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 (eg. 4K 120Hz), then you have to spend considerably more money to get the right KVM. KVMs tend to really take a long time to be updated for newer DP/HDMI connection standards, so sometimes a USB switcher is good enough if your monitor is easy to switch sources on.

    • conan2000 on 30/11/2020 - 23:06

      Definitely depends on the devices. I have a 4k web cam, my Logitech G560 speakers, my mouse and a charger connected to it. I had to play around as this switch wasn't capable of handling my 4k webcam, and wireless headset receiver at the same time. So the USB 2.0 would handle even less.

      I instead connected my wireless headset and wireless keyboard receivers to my monitor which has a built in KVM and the others connected to this switch.

  • Kabal on 30/11/2020 - 19:23

    Sweet! had my eye on this one for a while to switch a USB audio interface + USB Mic between my iMac and my PC and now my patience is saving me a couple of dollars :D

  • scottb721 on 30/11/2020 - 20:05

    Love the ugreen brand. Have a few of their things.

  • protagonist on 30/11/2020 - 20:19

    Excellent, been waiting all covid for this, was bummed on Friday it wasn't this USB 3 version. Now I don't need to switch between work laptop and home PC!

  • tedibaba on 30/11/2020 - 22:26

    Thanks

    any ideas about this one

  • takuarc on 30/11/2020 - 22:59

    Bought the 2.0 version and returned it. Cannot get my Logitech keyboard and mouse, connected via a single unifying receiver which is plugged into a usb c dongle, to wake my MacBook after switching..
