Product Description
IOGEAR's premium USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch enables two PCs and/or Macs to share one USB device or group of USB devices through a USB Hub on one-at-a-time base. The peripheral can be assigned to a computer either manually or with hot keys (plug-n-play). Unique advanced management is available through a Windows-based application (included) that can limit or extend the sharing capabilities between one, two, three or four computers.

5 out of 5 stars Super easy, super cheap -- just what we were looking for   July 24, 2008
C. N. Kishline (Milwaukee, WI USA)
It's amazing how few options there are for hooking up multiple computers to a single printer. This was a great alternative to all the wireless routers, wired routers, and office-appropriate megaservers that are just way too big and expensive for a home office environment. We hook it up to each laptop and use it as, essentially, a toggle switch. It's easy to install, easy to use and incredibly inexpensive. All-around satisfied customer!


5 out of 5 stars Plug-N-Play   June 16, 2008
G. Rodrigues (USA)
Just plug it in and you can use it! Very easy on Windows XP.

The only semi-negative thing is that it beeps when you turn your computer on. First time I heard it, I thought it was my motherboard telling me I had a hard drive failure.



4 out of 5 stars So far, so good; works as it is supposed to do.   June 16, 2008

The IOGEAR USB 2.0 Peripherals Sharing Switch (GUB201) has had some bad reviews like it worked for a short time and ... Well, I have been using the hub for our Epson printer, my laptop and my wife's tower system and it has always changed when toggled, and the printer works when selected. I have not tried to use it for scanning yet, but am sure it will be ok. I am pleased.

I have 2 computers and one printer. I plugged the USB2.0 switch in and it worked. You can select the computer by the switch on the top or by pressing the num lock key twice. It automatically switches to the first computer that you turn on.


5 out of 5 stars Very easy to use!   May 30, 2008

Set this up for two computers to use one printer. Took less than 5 minutest to set up. Very easy to use.
