Easy Plug and Play
on January 9, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple and easy,
Plugged it in and plug-and-play, no installation require.
I connected different hardware to the hub, including an Audio mixer, and it runs without any issues.
I found a problem where a Pioneer Dj controller required more power and was freezing. In this case, I connected the micro USB power to a block, and the extra 4.5W kicked in, and then it stopped freezing,(the micro USB cable is sold separately).
If you need extra USB ports that don't require additional power, this is your guy.
It is small and easy to carry.

Reliable additional USB ports!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My laptop is equipped with various accessories that I can attach to it. I have never been concerned about the speed of the connection with this device. The hub has additional USB ports, so I can connect a keyboard, mouse, headphones, and webcam. Also, I enjoy leaving the USB peripherals and USB memory keys attached to them when I leave my office. An auxiliary power input is used when additional power is required, such as when connecting high-powered USB devices like SSD drives.
This device is an OS-independent device that supports all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android. Once it is connected to a host computer, such as an Apple MacBook, Windows, or Chrome laptop, the Hub automatically detects, configures, and installs itself in a matter of seconds. I highly recommend this product and am completely satisfied with it.
