Thumbs down! Best in Computer Accessories & Peripherals

I noticed problems immediately after using this hub. My computer didn't recognize it, so that was the problem. My IT tech said to only use it for hardware that doesn't require a direct connection. My laptop only has 2 USB ports which doesn't fit my overall investment so I was hoping this would be the solution. When it worked, the hub and everything connected to it got so hot that I thought I'd burn myself if I touched it. I got rid of it because it didn't work and was a waste of space. It would

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Useless Features

Falling apart - poor design

Some people complain that this hub doesn't have "high speed". It's USB 2.0 - and considering that, it worked great. It worked with multiple devices, powered on phones, external drives and flash cards/drives. I bought two of these, one each for me and my wife. And both met the same fate, mine is faster than theirs but I've used mine a lot more. The case separates from the cable at the point where it connects to your computer's USB port. These devices have never been abused, twisted, wrappedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Negative present

Absolutely Terrible

I don't write many reviews on websites at all - only when something is extraordinary or absolutely horrible. Unfortunately, the latter is the case. This product looks good and really has a function as it may not work if sold right? Not correct. It just doesn't work. I plugged it in and even some of the simplest products like a webcam don't even realize that this product supports USB 2.0. I could understand if I connect 4 products that consume a lot of power, but it wouldn't work with just oneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Modern

Need more and more USB ports

Using a laptop is much easier than sitting at a desk, but I keep running out of USB ports. My problem is that I need to run a cooler fan and when I needed to use my printer I had to unplug one and plug in the other and if my print took longer than usual my laptop would overheat and shut down. This was getting really annoying! When I got this port splitter things got a lot easier. I instantly had 3 more ports when my cooler was plugged in and I could use a printer at the same time or sync myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Good, but not great

It took about a month which is ok because it was mentioned when I chose economy shipping. 3 stars. The seller was good at communication. Probably from China. Also 3 stars for that. But the product is undesirable and dangerous. Got my Microsoft mouse and Logitech keyboard plugged in and plugged into a "hub". The laptop did not recognize 2 USB ports of the laptop. Connected the HUB to the 3rd port on the other side and couldn't find the correct driver. So I opened Device Manager, updated theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

I should have known better.

You have no one but yourself responsible for the fact that you bought this item. I am very disappointed but for the price paid I should have known better. This product lacks quality. It's like an octopus toy. I bought it to use with my PS3 to connect multiple devices to it. Everything was working fine until it just stopped working. I was annoyed by the fact that I had to periodically unplug and replug the 4-port USB hub from my PS3 to get it working again. Not to mention that the 4-port USBโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Nothing here
