I love it! Yes, it is a little large - could have been smaller, but it's very nicely designed, and feels very well made. It's great to be able to switch off USB devices, saving having to pull the USB out all the time, and this fits the job perfectly. Just a little switch, and all things connected to the switch faithfully turn off.Yes, as Ralph says below, it's not like there are many USB switches like this. This is almost the only one I could find. On that basis, and supply and demand, I don't bat an eyelid at the price. It's just what i wanted.

Does what it says, cuts off power and data. It has a white led indicator. I use it to switch off my oculus rift, yes, i know you can stop the OSVR service, but i like it this way.I have no problem at all using it with my rift, i also use it with an 50cm extension, so i don't have to dig behind my pc. It's size is 45mm x 22mm x 8mm,without the metal usb connector. In the hand it feels good quality, i don't know about the inside, time will tell. I find it pricey! £2.99 + free delivery would be more reasonable.

No video review for this as it really is just an on/off switch for a USB 3.0 (and 2.0 and 1.1) device, so external hard drives or, in my case, an HDMI to USB 3.0 converter all work just great.Took a couple of days extra to get from Germany, I believe, but the quality is great and it does exactly what I want.Price is higher than I would have expected but as this is the ONLY one I could find it's all about supply & demand.So glad I found it (and via Amazon too).

I have used the short cheap leads, and for simple stuff they are fine, but for turning on / off a Roku streaming stick and a USB MIDI device, they just didn't work - either not enough power or not recognised by the computer. Though I would give this device a go, and happy to report it works in both those circumstances, so very pleased! Definitely pays to spend a bit more.

Bought this for use with a Schiit modi DAC because there’s no off switch and my pc always keeps the DAC powered on even when the pc is switched off. It has had no impact on audio quality of the DAC when plugged in to the on/off switch which is perfect and does exactly what it says.Would definitely buy another if I need a power switch for any usb powered devices.

Can now control non-switched USB devices. Switch is compact and when connected between a powerbank and device, is no wider than the powerbank itself{stick powerbanks} Unsure of current capacity,but it is a USB3 [blue insulator strip] device. Switches power lines only, although without power USB devices won't work,even if the data lines are unswitched.

Exactly what I wanted. As others have said, not the highest build quality and a bit pricey but it works fine. Wanted something to isolate my Mobile Broadband dongle when starting up my PC to stop it launching multiple versions of I.E. Couldn't find anything else on the net so I'm well pleased.

Perfect. Neat and unobtrusive. Allows me to toggle a headset on/off with ease using teh push button on the side.Bit expensive though, but was the only offering I could find so until someone comes along with a comparable product the price is unlikely to change.Would definitely buy again

.. Even with additional extension cable which usually reduces power with each .5m lengthI have tried other extension / usb power/data HUBS both 2.0 and 3.0 with no luck and not enough power for external HDD's but this one works great!

My usb distributor was draining my laptop battery even when switched off this product solved the problem .Don't forget to unmount usb drives before turning off the switch.

Exactly what I needed for my desktop microscope which otherwise had to be plugged and unplugged. That the switch has no trailing cable is ideal.

Useful (and surprisingly not widely available) gadget if a bit on the pricey side and not the quickest delivery but I'm still happy.

Excellent Switch... I use it on my fire stick to switch the USB power on and off save takin it out every time when not in use ....

The switch is compact, with a on LED showing through the silver side (Top of device) and switches data and power.Recommended!!!
