A convenient and cost-effective solution, the USB switch is bus-powered and does not require an external power supply, making it easy to position as needed.
The switch is compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems, eliminating the need to purchase duplicate peripherals regardless of operating platform.

USB 1.1 compatible only
Reviewed by Mark. Review Posted 05/09/2008
I bought this to share a scansnap scanner but it did not work. I contacted startech support (who were good and responsive). They told me that this device can only be used with USB 1.1 devices and does not support USB 2. As the descritpion does not state this I have had to return the device.
