How to Connect a Toggle Switch to a USB

by Daniel Hatter Google


1. Set your USB toggle switch in the desired location, and then plug in its power adapter, if it has one. Some toggle switches run on USB power only, and therefore do not need a power adapter.

2. Connect your USB device to the "USB in" port on the toggle switch, using either the device's USB cable or the USB cable that came packaged with the toggle switch.

3. Connect each computer to a "USB out" port on the toggle switch, and then press the button on the toggle switch to set it to the desired computer. Turn on the USB device to have the toggled computer recognize it. Press the button on the switch at any time to change the toggled computer.
