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)

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!

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!

Works perfectly!

I think the cable is built well and it does work great. I bought it so that I could attach my external drive to two different computers at the same time without having to unplug and plug up every time I needed a document from the external drive. I initially did not realize that only one can work at a time. I wanted to check the description to see if it was stated somewhere and it was. The pictures can be misleading because the images show two computers plugged into one printer. I should have scrolled all the way down and check the description better than I did. So even though it was not what I initially thought it was, it is very efficient still. The toggle switch works very fast when I switch between the two. It also came with an additional printing cable that I have not used but it’s a nice addition. I read in other comments that theirs stopped working and I have not had that issue at all yet. I have not yet had the item for a month, but so far it is working much better than expected. I hope this answers any questions someone may have.

This Splitter is Awesome. It enabled me to Hook up my Printer to Two Separate Computer's.

don't know, maybe it is designed for charging, but it did not work for printer, printer didnot recognized to be connected through this cable

Started out great, worked as expected... But after a few months it just quit working one day.

Makes switching computers much easier to print now
