-
Does it require additional software or drivers?
No additional software or drivers are needed for the switch itself. Plug-and-play USB switch compatible with any computer (Windows, macOS, Linux). However, connected devices like printers or adapters may need drivers on each computer.
-

-
Can this be used with USB-C Docks?
No, USB3-SWITCH2 is not compatible with USB-C docks or hubs, as these USB-C devices often rely on optional USB-C features such as Alt Mode and Power Delivery to function. These features are not supported on USB 3.0 Type A ports.
