Review on SuperSpeed 5Gbps USB C Hub - 4 Port Adapter with 1x USB-C & 3X USB-A Ports - USB Bus Powered - Portable/Laptop - USB 3.0 Hub - USB 3.1 Gen 1/USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C Hub - White (HB30C3A1CFBW) by Michael Powell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but expensive

I've been using it for a long time, I'm just connecting 1 sensor for Oculus Rift to it and at the moment there are no problems with it. As for researching why it's still 3.0, I haven't even looked into it anymore. I saw that the manufacturer tried to contact me, but I didn't even notice it on my Revain account. In general it could be incompatibility issues as the manufacturer said it is 3.1 Gen 2 and they have tested it. But I'll just take her word for it. So I'm revising my old rating and upgrading it to 4 stars. capable of 10 Gbps, which corresponds to 3.1 gen 2. But after researching and running some tests I couldn't get past 5 Gbps. Like one of the other reviewers here, he had the same results. I dug through device manager and guessed it was a 3.0 hub. Had it been truthfully advertised as a 3.0, I would have given it an overall rating of 5 out of 5. A bit pricey but all materials seem to be of high quality. And if they actually get it to work with 3.1 Gen 2, that's just icing on the cake. Unfortunately it isn't. Strongly dissatisfied. My other USB 3.1 Gen 2 expansion setup powers my 3 Oculus sensors just fine.
