What is the Switch for? Do you also often encounter the problem that you want to turn off connected USB devices, but there is no power switch on the device? Lamps & fans that can only be switched off by pulling off? External hard drives that run and run and are not needed? And for pulling them off, you may even have to crawl under the desk? Additionally, USB ports wear out. Now, we have the solution: A USB Switch! Simply plug it between the computer and the USB device and you can turn it on and off whenever needed. A LED signal indicates the activity of the connected device. The USB Switch works with any USB 3.0 and 2.0 accessories. Many devices can be used with the switch, such as: external hard drives, lights, lamps, CD- DVD- Blue-ray- drives, speakers / loud speakers, headphones, fans, memory stick, WLAN stick, Bluetooth stick, USB stick, sound cards, HUB, router, NAS, server, PC, laptop, netbook, Arduino Controller, Rasberry PI, chip card reader, keyboard, mouse, HDD, printers, scanners and many more.

Works great, make sure you get a USB A to ...
Got this to use for an ON/OFF switch with my Blue Snowball microphone. Works great, make sure you get a USB A to B adapter (flat to square)

On/Off Pushbutton - easy to use
I'm using this for connecting a Flash Drive containing MP3 music in my car. It lets me turn the music on or off as desired, by a push of the button.Many USB switches disconnect only the power lines, not the data lines, when turned off. This one does both, which is what I need. I tried a different product first, but the on/off switch on that one was very small and hard to use, especially while driving and not wanting to take my eyes off the road. This one has a push button that is easy to feel with my fingers, without having to look down at it.Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't need an On/Off switch for controlling the music in the car. But due to some idiosyncrasy of the flash drive I'm using, without the switch, the music would start playing automatically each time I start up the car.

Simple, inexpensive, works as expected. PERFECT
This switch worked perfectly for my purpose. I put it inline on the headset I use with Skype. Then, I can effectively unplug the headset by turning the USB switch off. When I want to use the headset, instead of plugging it in, I flip the switch.

Excellent purchase
This USB switch is a great buy. I bought 2, and have them attached to my smart tv's. No more moving the tv to find the usb port in the back of the tv.

The best data\power switch for wired PlayStation 4 controller setups.
Awesome switch. I use it for my wired PlayStation 4 controllers that I have ran throughout my house. They are low profile and work great on the end of a 50 foot run of active USB cables. I have no issues with a Titan one or the playstation 4 controller being plugged into it. I have one in every room in my house, with no problems...... This is the data/power switch that you need!

very useful
The on-off switch is what I've been looking for, to plug a flexible IKEA LED lamp into my laptop. Works perfectly. The thickness of the switch housing means that if it is plugged directly into one of the two adjacent USB sockets on my MacBook Pro, the other one can't be used. This is more of an issue with the Mac tan this switch though. I had to connect the supplied long and heavy-duty cable to the laptop and plug the lamp into the other end. I then bought some small clamps to secure the lamp to a document holder on my desk. Quite a contraption but it all works perfectly..

Saves wear and tear on usb sockets
I bought this after being delighted to find out it exists. Basically how I use it is, I have it connected between my PC and Headphones so that when I decide to use them or have an incoming voip call I can just use the switch to turn my Headphones on, as oppossed to to continously plugging in and unplugging them. This is great in my book as it saves uneccessary wear and tear on both the usb socket and plug.Im also considering a second one to put between my pc and webcam so that it can be disabled when not in use, without the need to unplug it or replug it everytime. Great product, really can't recommend it enough.

Works for Power AND Data - excellent
I was looking for an in-line USB switch for power and data. the cheaper ones seem to be designed for switching USB powered devices and don't seem to switch data as well. This does both.
