UGREEN USB 3.0 Switch 4-Port for 2 PCs
Product description
This USB switch from UGREEN helps you share keyboards, mice, printers and other USB devices between two computers, reducing cable clutter and speeding workflow. It supports both USB-C and USB-A connections so you can plug laptops and desktops without adapters. The main benefit is smooth device sharing with simple switching, useful when you alternate between work and personal systems.
Key features
The switch offers four USB 3.0 ports and comes with two USB 3.0 cables and a handheld controller for quick swapping. It supports up to 5 Gbps data transfer, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. Use the optional USB-C power input if you attach high-power devices like external hard drives or headsets, which helps avoid random disconnects. The unit is plug and play on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux, and it is explicitly not a KVM so it does not handle video.

Who it’s for
It makes sense if you regularly use two computers at the same desk and need to switch peripherals fast while keeping a tidy workspace. You’ll appreciate it if you use USB cameras, printers or a shared keyboard and mouse across systems. It might not suit you if you need a KVM solution with video support or if your setup relies on passive power from the host for multiple high-draw devices, because the recommendation is to use external power for stability.
Care & maintenance
Keep the switch in a ventilated spot and avoid stacking powered devices on top of it. Unplug the optional USB-C power when cleaning and reconnect firmly to prevent intermittent connections. Occasional firmware or driver updates are not required for basic plug and play operation, according to the manufacturer.
