Herfair Printer Cable Splitter for Two Computers Share One inkless Printers,Scanners,MacBook,HP,Canon,Brother,More

Does exactly what it should. USB 2.0; I use it for my keyboard, instead of a KVM. Works flawless. And its fast. Why Did I Buy it? I found this to work pretty well for me! and it was <12 bucks. I have a dual laptop setup on single Monitor, and also a TV. If things like G-sync don't matter to you, or your reading this and don't know what that is...then a KVM might be right for you. However; for me, 1. I R-click on the desktop Enable/disable display as needed. The Displays then auto finds the next source. 2. And I flip the switch on THIS cable. Done. Thats it. (If I forget something or whatever, I don't have to hit the KVM button ***which will Flip all Screens and Refresh, I might loose USB Wifi and all docked devices on the KVM will switch!) Instead I can just flip the switch on this cable. For me; turns out to work better then KVM, (suppose I could VNC into the other one, given various company requirements, thats not an option). I haven't Tried this on an SSD, or something that requires Power like a WiFi Dongle. Wouldn't recommend this for a USB HDD either. But for Me it works great!

Quit working just out of Amazon's return envelope. Tried everything I could find online for a fix, but nothing worked. Seller offered no warranty past 30 days. Do not buy! You can achieve the same thing with more reliability with a USB hub. UPDATE ON THIS REVIEW 4/29/2023: First let me state my apology to Herfair. I had thrown in the towel and decided to buy a second printer when saw something I had not considered during all my attempts at resolving the issue. Without a long boring dissertation about how I had missed this in all my efforts, suffice to say that I accidently that my two computers recognized the printer under different names (just an extra word difference). Now the splitter works perfectly. And I must state that just before I was about to correct this review, Herfair contacted me through Amazon asking me to get in touch with them and they would try to resolve my problem. I had not anticipated that kind of support for a relatively low cost item out of warranty. I do endorse the product and kudos to Herfair for their support!

This switch works better than USB hubs because it's not a hub. I have a USB keyboard that already functions as a hub, so adding another "hub" to switch it between two laptops just did not work well. Connectivity issues, disconnections, problems switching between laptops. This little thing does exactly what's needed. Connects my USB keyboard (that's also a hub for a USB mouse and a USB flash drive) to two laptops, allowing easy switching with a flick of a switch. Excellent, simple product with minimal physical presence. The cords are long enough to accommodate pretty much any situation I can think of on a typical work desk.

I gave it a four star, it’s does exactly what it’s suppose to do. The only thing is you have to get up, and switch the button between computers when printing.

This USB splitter worked exactly as advertised. Setup was quick and easy, and it allowed two computers to share one printer without any issues. The connection has been stable, with no noticeable lag or dropped connections. The cables feel well-made and durable, and the switch functions smoothly. It's a great, cost-effective solution for a home office or small workspace where multiple computers need access to the same USB device. Highly recommended!

easy hookup. stops the frustration of fighting with a wireless connection if you run 2 computers!

This (sort of) worked for about two weeks. I was using this splitter to split a usb microphone to switch between my work computer and personal computer. I always had an issue where the microphone would randomly disconnect and reconnect repeatedly, but it would usually resolve after a few minutes. After about two weeks though, it stopped resolving. I know this was an issue with the splitter and not the microphone because it happened while using either of the PCs, and it only happened while the microphone was plugged into this splitter. It didn't happen if it was plugged directly into the PC. Seems like a hardware malfunction in the splitter.

Started out great, worked as expected... But after a few months it just quit working one day.

Funciona como switch entre impresoras, no las 2 al mismo tiempo

Funcionó perfectamente. Para usar una impresora con 2 computadoras

Works great to hook up both our laptops to printer.

Excelente
