Anyone here use one of these?

I never bothered as I was always able to do personal stuff on the work laptop. That is about to change with my company's new overlords, so I'm looking to get a switch so I can use headphones, keyboard, mouse, etc, on either my personal or work, at the same time.

Basically, looking for recommendations. They seem pricey enough.

@rettucs can you ask your work to get one for you? Say it’s to facilitate safe working from home so your workspace doesn’t become too cluttered or something.

its a possibility. I'll be transitioning to a new company in July as the company I joined last month are being acquired. I have to wait to see what the craic is in the new place, but I know there's definitely some scope to get them to pay for stuff for us. I think we have a $600 budget per year, split over 6 month periods.

But I'm actually also thinking of just chancing my arm and seeing what I get away with on the work computer. The company I'm moving to is a behemoth of a company. I'm not sure they will have the time or inclination to see if I'm spending too much time on thumped or not.
