Nice and easy, it's very light but is aluminium, couldn't be happier with it and is very solid and great for what I needed it for

I deal with a common issue, limited desktop space.This little switch adds one cable to the problem not a whole keyboard and mouse set!The shell is pretty good ABS plastic mixed design, full cable set is included.

This device is well-made with a sturdy metal case. It comes with two nice quality USB-C to USB-C cables and a remote switch which is connected via a 1m cable allowing you to hide the cabling and unit out of the way with just a discrete switch on your desk. The switch is connected by a 3.5mm jack-to-jack cable so, if necessary, you could use a longer lead and locate it even further away.I have a couple of gripes with the product. It is also supplied with a USB-A to USB-C power-only cable to provide additional power to peripherals if the connected computers can't provide enough. In my testing, this lead wasn't needed but if they had not saved a few pennies and supplied a fully connected USB-A to USB-C cable it could also have been used to connect older PCs to the switch. I tested this with a properly connected USB-A to USB-C cable and it worked fine.Also, the LEDs that indicate which computer is connected are the wrong way around. When the left LED is lit, the right-hand port is active and vice-versa. It is minor but annoying and confusing.It may be a fairly niche product as it is not a full KVM, but if you have an appropriate use it is a good product. I have not seen it listed with a price but, if the price is right, I would recommend it.

Finally a switch box that uses USB C inputs from the computer. It comes with two USB C to USB C cables to connect to your computers, if you don't have a USB C port on your computer then you'll need an adapter. The cables a pretty heafty so a clearly designed for USB 3.2 and the high 10Gbps data rate.On the front are four USB ports, one USB C and three USB A. All should be USB 3.2 capeable. It is fairly small and lightweight, it has a bit of weight to it thanks to the metal case.Interestingly it has a USB C power connection and the supplied USB A to USB C cable for that. However it doesn't actually need that power to work. It can function purely from the power from the computers. Although be aware that you may need to connect the power if you're attaching more power hungry devices to it.Switching is by the button on top or via the remote button. You can see which computer is connected via a blue LED on top. The design for that is terrible, they are both blue LEDs and are both quite close to each other. So you can't really tell at a glance which computer is selected. You end up having to press the button so you know if the left or right LED is illuminated. Probably with lots of use you'll learn, but it could have been better designed.There are no feet or attachments to keep it in place. It has a smooth metal body that will just slide around on a desk. So be aware that you'll either want to just hide it away and use the remote button, or stick it down to the desk to prevent it sliding around.Overall a decent product with a couple of minor improvements it would be even better.
