Unfortunately, the KVM switch doesn’t have a remote, so you’ll have to place the device on the desktop and use the switch button to toggle between computers. Of course, once you’ve spent your hard-earned bucks on a sleek computer setup, you don’t want the look to be ruined by big, sturdy cables. This USB splitter’s fully shielded cable is equipped with a sturdy yet flexible jacket, making it extremely resistant to daily wear and tear. The Anker 563 is more a full-on docking solution than a hub, coming with its own mains power adapter and even a power switch to turn it on and off. For this reason, some hubs will also take a signal from a micro-USB or USB-C charger, to make sure that there’s enough power to go around.

You can connect the male side of the splitter to an adapter, which can then be connected to a power supply.The Vention USB Splitter boasts high performance, a hot-swappable design, and a security chip to prevent unauthorized access to your connected devices and data. Extra power conversion is wasteful and generates heat so you'd end up with yet another brick around the same size as your original power brick. Yes, it’s possible to simultaneously use both ends of the USB splitter without any issues, but the transmission speed can decrease compared to when only using one end. Further, this device passes-through the type-C charging ports; this means it the best choice for people with one Type-C port only. But what you'll notice is that they are effectively all adapters of one type or another, and they will only ever have a single USB-C port.

Both devices communicate with each other to establish their maximum voltage and current capabilities and not every device can take the same voltage. I want to connect all of these to use at the same time, but cannot find anything that will allow that. I cannot find any that advertise multiple PD outputs (only pass through for a laptop) and this would likely need a lot of expensive power conversion to handle, see the rest of my answer below.

With its one male and two female outlets and amazing data transfer speed, this USB splitter is the top choice on our list.
