PVBCTCSID 10Gbps USB 3.2 Switch 4 Computers Share 4 Peripherals 4 Port USB Switcher for Mouse Keyboard Printer with Remote and Cables Review

4.6 out of 5

My desk juggles a work laptop, a gaming PC, a Mac mini, and a Linux box—but only one set of peripherals. That’s exactly the scenario the PVBCTCSID USB 3.2 switch was built for: sharing a keyboard, mouse, webcam, printer, or external storage across four computers without constant plugging and unplugging. After several weeks of daily use, I’ve come away impressed by its performance and build, with a few caveats worth knowing before you buy.

Design and setup

The switch is a compact metal box that feels sturdier than most plastic USB accessories. The front panel offers four downstream device ports—three USB‑A and one USB‑C—so you can mix legacy and modern peripherals. Around back are four upstream ports to connect your computers. These are USB‑C, and the box includes both the host cables and a USB‑C–to‑A adapter so you can hook up older desktops that still rely on USB‑A. That saved me a rummage through drawers and made setup painless.

There are two ways to switch between computers: a top-mounted push button and a small wireless remote. Both worked reliably for me. The ability to tuck the box out of sight and use the remote to flip sources is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade on a crowded desk. My only nitpick is the status indicators: four small LEDs show which computer is active, but they’re not especially legible at a glance from across the desk. The labeling could be higher contrast, and the LEDs are a bit close together.

Physically, the unit is light and the underside is smooth metal. On a bare desktop it tends to slide when you press the button. A couple of stick-on rubber feet or some double-sided tape solved that instantly, but I wish grippy feet were included.

Not a KVM—and that’s by design

This is a USB switch, not a KVM. There’s no video output and no USB‑C display alt-mode; it won’t switch your monitor input, and it won’t charge your laptop (there’s no Power Delivery). If you need video switching, look for a proper KVM. If your monitor has multiple inputs or you’re content to change inputs manually, this is leaner, simpler, and less finicky than many KVMs when it comes to USB peripherals.

Ports, compatibility, and what it will power

The device presents as a single SuperSpeed hub to whichever computer is selected. It’s plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, and Linux—no drivers, no control software. I used it with Windows 11, macOS Sonoma, and Ubuntu 24.04 without issues.

Power-wise, the box can draw bus power from the connected host, but it also includes a USB‑A–to‑USB‑C power cable for feeding it 5V from a wall adapter. That’s an important detail. Lightweight peripherals—keyboard, mouse, card reader, UVC webcam—were fine without auxiliary power in my testing. As soon as I added a bus-powered NVMe SSD enclosure and a USB microphone, I started to see occasional reconnects when switching hosts and once during a sustained transfer. Plugging in a 5V adapter eliminated that entirely. If you plan to run any higher-draw devices, just budget to keep that power lead connected.

Performance

The headline spec here is USB 3.2 Gen 2, which supports up to 10 Gbps. Achieving that speed requires that your computer ports, your cables, and your devices all support Gen 2. Using the included host cables and a known-good USB‑C NVMe enclosure, I measured:

  • Sequential reads around 950 MB/s and writes around 900 MB/s on Windows and macOS, essentially identical to a direct connection to the same host.
  • No noticeable added latency for keyboard and mouse. Gaming felt indistinguishable from a direct plug-in.
  • Stable UVC video from a 1080p/60 webcam and audio from a USB interface during Zoom calls.

For more pedestrian devices—printers, scanners, MIDI controllers—everything behaved as you’d expect. The switch passes through the hub and enumerates normally on the selected host.

One practical note: switching hosts disconnects the hub from the previous machine and enumerates it on the next one. That means any in-flight copy or camera stream will stop. That’s the nature of this type of device. Don’t switch mid-transfer, and expect a one- to two-second reconnection period for peripherals to show up on the newly selected machine.

Switching experience

The switching button is crisp, and the wireless remote worked across my small home office without fuss. I liked the freedom to stash the unit under a shelf and leave the remote on the desktop. Switching itself is quick—about a second before devices are visible to the new host, a hair longer for complex devices like audio interfaces that initialize firmware. I didn’t encounter any missed presses or double-switches, and there was no perceptible difference in speed or reliability between using the button or the remote.

If you run a security key (YubiKey, FIDO2) or smart card reader, expect the OS to “re-detect” it on each switch; that’s normal and worked fine in practice.

Reliability and stability

With low-power devices, the switch was rock solid. With multiple high-draw peripherals attached, I saw a couple of brief reconnects the first day while I was stress testing—specifically with a bus-powered SSD enclosure and a condenser mic that pulls a bit more current. After I connected the included power cable to a 5V adapter, the hiccups disappeared. I left it powered for the rest of my testing and would recommend that for most users. It keeps things stable and ensures you get the full bandwidth when it matters.

I also appreciated that the box seems to handle USB 2.0 devices gracefully. A cheap barcode scanner and an older printer that enumerate at USB 2.0 never caused the 10 Gbps devices to downshift or misbehave.

Everyday use cases

  • Work-from-home setups: Share one keyboard, mouse, webcam, and headset between a personal PC and up to three work machines. Switching for meetings took a second or two, and everything just showed up.
  • Creative workflows: Move a fast external SSD between four machines without touching a cable. As long as you avoid switching mid-transfer, it’s a timesaver.
  • Test benches and labs: Handy for toggling a set of USB tools (serial adapters, programmers, debug cameras) among multiple systems.

If you need to share a monitor too, pair this with a multi-input display or a separate HDMI/DisplayPort switch. That combination remains simpler and cheaper than many all-in-one KVMs and typically gives you better peripheral compatibility.

What could be better

  • Indicator clarity: The four source LEDs are small and not the easiest to read quickly. It works, but it’s not ideal in a dim room or at a distance.
  • Desk traction: Out of the box, the smooth metal base slides around. Add your own feet or mount it out of sight and rely on the remote.
  • Power expectations: While the switch can run from host power, in real use you’ll likely want to plug in a 5V adapter, especially with any bus-powered storage or audio gear. I’d label that as a practical requirement rather than a mere option.

None of these are dealbreakers, but they’re worth factoring into your setup plan.

The bottom line

The PVBCTCSID USB 3.2 switch is a straightforward, capable way to share four USB peripherals across four computers, with true 10 Gbps performance when your gear supports it. The metal build, included host cables, and dual switching methods make it an easy device to live with. It isn’t a KVM, and it won’t charge or display anything over USB‑C—but as a USB switch, it does its job well.

Recommendation: I recommend this switch for anyone who needs to share USB peripherals among multiple machines and values speed and simplicity over all-in-one KVM convenience. It shines in mixed-OS desks, work-from-home setups, and test benches. Just plan to use the 5V power input with higher-draw devices, and consider adding some grip to the base or stashing it out of sight while you use the remote. If you require video switching or laptop charging, this isn’t the right tool—but for USB device sharing, it’s a dependable, fast, and tidy solution.



Project Ideas

Business

Hot‑Desk Coworking Peripheral Pack

Offer a premium hot-desk add‑on where members share a single high-quality keyboard, mouse, printer/scanner and ultra-fast shared SSD. Instead of buying duplicate peripherals, four desks use the USB switch to claim devices when seated. The wireless remote and front button make switching seamless for members; promote cost savings and a neater desk footprint. Recommend using the 5V power adapter for stable operation with bus-powered devices.


IT Repair / Diagnostics Workbench

Set up a multi-station repair bench where technicians can quickly connect their service laptop to the same diagnostic keyboard/mouse, USB flash-based OS installers, and external storage. Rather than moving peripherals between machines, staff remote-switches the USB hub to connect the right computer. The 10Gbps transfer speeds speed up imaging and backups; using the provided power cable keeps high-draw diagnostic tools stable.


Mobile Photo/Video Post‑Production Service

Run a field post-production service for events where you bring one set of high-speed SSDs, card readers and input devices and switch them among multiple editor laptops on-site. Fast 10Gbps transfers reduce ingest times between editors, and remote switching allows quick handoffs. Advertise faster turnaround and lower rental costs since you only need one peripheral set for multiple editors; ensure bus-powered gear is backed by the 5V adapter.


Retail Demo & POS Peripheral Sharing

For small retail or pop-up shops, share barcode scanners, receipt printers and payment terminals across multiple POS terminals using the USB switch. During peak times staff can hand control to whichever register needs it, reducing hardware costs. Note that the switch handles USB peripherals and fast data devices but not video; power the unit’s cable when peripherals require it for reliable operation.

Creative

Collaborative Music/MIDI Jam Station

Build a shared desktop for musicians where multiple computers (Windows/Mac/Linux) can take turns using a single set of MIDI controllers, audio interfaces, and external SSD sample libraries. Use the remote to switch which DAW has access to the controller and the 10Gbps SSD for sample streaming. Ideal for a band rehearsal room or classroom — no need to unplug cables between laptops. For high-power audio interfaces or bus-powered drives, plug the included power cable into a 5V adapter for stable operation.


Shared Photo Tether + Editing Booth

Create a portable photography workflow station: a high-speed USB 3.2 SSD or card reader, calibrated mouse/keyboard, and a photo scanner/printer can be shared across multiple editing laptops. Photographers can quickly switch which computer accesses the raw files at up to 10Gbps for fast previews and backups. Remote switching keeps the workspace tidy during shoots; emphasize connecting the power cable when using bus-powered storage or printers.


Maker Space Peripheral Hub

Equip a community makerspace bench with a single set of peripherals—label printer, scanner, USB microscope, and USB-C probe/logic analyzer—that four member workstations can share. The hub lets members toggle devices between their machines without swapping cables, speeding collaborative projects and demos. Useful for classes where students rotate through stations; ensure the supplied power cable is used to support higher-power devices.


Interactive Gallery/Installation Controller

Design an art installation where four different media PCs control the same set of USB devices (lighting controllers, sound triggers, camera input, storage) but only one computer needs to be active at a time. Curators can switch control remotely during performances to hand off playback or capture duties. The 10Gbps option lets large audio/video files move quickly between machines; remember the unit doesn't switch video outputs (not a KVM).
