Herfair USB Splitter 1 in 2 Out Printer Cable Splitter for Two Computers to One Printer USB Female to Dual Male Adapter Cord for Scanner/Fax Machine/Computer Peripherals (Both 5FT)

Q: Usb headset/mic. i want to use it for my two laptops at once without having to pull out the usb & plug it into the other. will it work?

It should work. I'm using it for 1 webcam connected to 2 pc's and it works without any issues.

Q: Splitter only has on/off (—/O) setting. How do you switch between computers?

I bought this splitter in order to use one mouse for both computers. I plug the usb end of the mouse into the cable. Then I plug one usb cable into each computer. In order to switch the mouse from one computer to the other, you have to use the off/on switch. You'll know when to switch because the mouse works on one computer just fine, but it won't work on the other one until you use the switch and turn it off or on, depending on what position it is in for the computer where the mouse is working. If you are trying to use it for something else, I can test that, but I'd have to know what that is. Hope this helps.

Q: Can I use this switch for two led light strips? I have one white and one blue. I want to alternate.

Though I have not had the experience of doing exactly what you want to do, these are some things to consider: 1. The manufacturer only mentions it's use for computers equipments or accessories such as printers, flash drives, etc. In my case I used it to connect on camera to two separate PCs, and it work. 2. It can only access one at a time, in your case, if it works it can only light one at a time. 3. Since I don't know how many LED light the strip have, make sure you calculate the total voltage for one whole strip, keeping in mind that each USB provides 5 volts maximum. Also I'm assuming that you are using a power plug connected to the house electricity while this is intended to use a PC USB power. You may want to contact customer support of the manufacturer for that specific purpose, or if the seller has that specific use before you buy it. But besides the voltage and do think it may work, but it'll be for it wasn't intended.

Q: I connected the computer cable to the splitter and then connected each of the leads to usb ports on each computer. Is this correct?

I used the splitter cable to connect two computers to a single printer. TheUSB end of the printer cable connected to the single end of the splitter cable and then I plugged in the two USB heads into the computers. Worked very well.

Quit working after a little over a month! UPDATE: Works fine, my fault!

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!

Excellent and Works great

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!

Simple solution for a simple problem

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.

Works some of the time.

Cuts in and out. Going to have to return this.(edit - I'm redoing my review, after the seller contacted me and issued me a full refund.) Hopefully I just got a bad one and im the fluke. Thanks again for making this right.
