Awesome product for people who are tired of plugging and unplugging USB cords
This is legitimately one of my all-time favorite purchases. I work from home and have one monitor that I hook up to both my work laptop and my personal computer. Before purchasing this product, every time I got off work I had to go through the agonizing process of unhooking my keyboard and mouse, then feeding the cords behind my desk and individually (and blindly) plug the USB connectors in to the back of my desktop computer. And then in the morning I'd have to start the whole process all over again just so I could start work. Like I said: agonizing.Now, I just have to press a single button and everything switches over immediately to the other computer. The process is functionally instant and has been a complete game changer. I haven't experienced any issues with durability or lag and so far everything is holding up really nicely. Everything stays plugged in to slots really securely, even if the case gets shoved around my desktop by papers/notebooks/etc. I also really like how the switch button is indented into the case since it prevents accidental pushing of the button while also allowing you to find and push the button just by touch. I haven't used the remote yet, but I haven't needed to since it's so easy to locate and manually press the button. I can't speak to the lag time for things like competitive gaming, but for standard computer users or casual gamers this is an excellent product and I can't recommend it enough.

Works perfectly for switching tame USB 2.0 devices. Excellent value.
This worked perfectly for what I needed it to do. I use this to switch a small collection of USB devices between two computers (a Mac and a PC). I'm switching simple, low-speed USB 2.0 devices such as a USB printer, a USB keyboard, a Logitech wireless dongle, a USB 2.0 multichannel audio interface, etc.At the moment, I haven't tried switching high speed devices like video or external SSD disks. Each of my computers already has their own separate video outputs, network connections, and dedicated backup disks. So I don't want to switch those things. But for everything else: one USB port from each computer is plugged into the UGreen USB switcher, and then downstream from the switch I have a 10-port USB 2.0 hub, which all the shared devices are plugged into.This works perfectly, and I can switch everything between the Mac and the PC with the push of a button. The only extra thing I have to do is press the "input" buttons on my external monitor screens to switch them over to the other computer (and I only need to do this if I leave both computers on, otherwise the video would switch automatically). But no more unplugging and replugging USB cables to switch between computers.The remote button for switching the inputs works great, it has a generously long cord, and it's small enough to stick it anywhere I want on my desk with a 3M command strip. There is a USB-C power input on the UGreen switcher which is optional; I didn't need to use it, it gets enough power from the computers to do what I need it to do.For the price I paid for this switcher (about 40 USD) it is a great value. There are some things I would wish for, but at this price point, these would be extreme luxuries. My wishes would be: A larger, clearer LED indicator to tell whether it's on Input1 or Input2 (its indicator is so small you can't tell without squinting at it), a corresponding indicator on the remote button (for when the switcher box is mounted out of sight), and finally, mounting tabs on the switcher box so that you can mount it under or behind your desk. But I'm able to work around these things easily: I can tell whether it's on the correct input simply by trying to type something on my USB keyboard, and I strapped it behind my desk with some velcro.All in all, pleasantly surprised by how well this worked.

Works well but indicators are small
The media could not be loaded. Was using my 10yo KVM when the magic smoke escaped. I used it toggle between work laptops. Saw this one on Amazon and had it the next day.It's small and sleek. The on-device button has a nice feel and is easy to find and toggle. Functionally, it's working great!I have one complaint: the indicators are small. I included both a picture and a close-up video of the toggle. A small blue bar moves from one location to the other. On my old kvm, these indicators were not only much larger, they were also different colors making it obvious which state you were in with a quick glance. This one requires a much closer look.The transition is also a little slower than my prior one (maybe a second), but that's no real issue for me. Just wanted you to be aware it's not an instantaneous switch.All in all, it works well for me--just wish the indicators did a better job of indicating.
