such as a keyboard, to either or both of the two USB Type A inputs. Devices can be connected either to a hub or directly to
the Switch. The total number of active devices is limited to two. If more than two devices are connected, the additional devices
will not be recognized by the Switch. In such a case, if the excess devices are unplugged, the remaining two devices will
become operational.
