White 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with AC Adapter by Amazon Basics - Slim, High-Speed Hub for MacBook, Mac Pro, iMac, Surface Pro and More Review

I bought this so I can connect four Oculus Rift sensors to my desktop. While this task seems fine, I've encountered a very strange issue: it completely disables all my USB ports before even getting into the OS. I have no idea why this is, but it means I can't even choose which operating system I want to boot on my dual boot system, since my keyboard, which isn't even on that USB hub, isn't is working. (I currently have a PS/2 keyboard attached for this.) This is very strange. When I disabled…

I was looking for a 7-10 port USB 3.0 hub and saw this version of Revain Basics at a lower price than the Anker brand so I bought it. As soon as I plugged in one of my devices, I got a popup saying the device would work better if I used a USB 3.0 connection. It looks like the hub isn't actually a USB 3.0 hub as advertised.

Those who use similar devices will understand that everything I've listed uses USB ports for power and communications.

*Update* doesn't work. I had 2 things plugged in way below the power limit and the hub kept shutting down. Tested on two computers: Surface Pro 4 and Xbox Series X. Same results *End of update* I bought this in a hurry because I needed a powered USB3 hub. As I was in a hurry I didn't bother to look at the pictures, I just looked at the Amazon branded and USB3 hub. So I had no idea there were only 2 USB3 ports and the rest (useless to me) was USB3. Luckily I only needed 2 ports for external…

This is a great USB hub if you place it next to your computer. The supplied cable is not particularly long, but is used less frequently. Instead of using most hubs that use a USB a-to-b connector, this one uses a USB 3 micro-b connector. And it's not the most common cable, so getting a longer cable proved to be a noticeable additional expense to remove my hub from my computer. Also, it seems to work well as you would expect from a USB hub. It can't really be used for charging though, it's a…
