I'm looking for a reliable USB switch that would allow me to quickly swap my peripherals between my gaming PC and my work laptop. I've heard the Lvl1Techs KVM is highly recommended, but at around $1000 Canadian, it's way out of my budget. Right now, I'm manually switching inputs for my display, which isn't ideal, but I really need a solution for my USB devices.
The devices I want to connect are:
- A HyperX RGB keyboard
- A G502 X wireless mouse
- A Logitech 1080p webcam
- An Audient ID4 audio interface (this one is crucial since it provides phantom power for my microphone).
Latency is a concern for me as a gamer, so I want an option that won't add delay. I realize I'll need something with external power, but I'm overwhelmed by the choices available on Amazon that all claim to be the best. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've had good luck with UGreen USB switches. You might want to check out these models:
- [UGreen USB Switch 1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8MSP967)
- [UGreen USB Switch 2](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF498RHP) (if you need more ports!). They both have solid reviews and should work well for your setup. Plus, they won’t break the bank!
Those options look great! The one with more ports sounds like the better choice for future compatibility. Have you used either of these before?
