USB 3.0 Hub 4 Ports, BYEASY Aluminum USB Hub 3.1 with Micro USB Cable, USB Type-C [Thunderbolt 3] to USB Hub with 2ft Extended Braided OTG Cord, USB Splitter for MacBook Pro, Oculus Rift S, Ps4, PS5

After trying 2 other/similar HUBs, I finally decided to try this BYEASY Hub and I’m glad I did. One of the others had ‘loose/wiggly” connections as if the USB ports were oversized to where they couldn’t hold tightly. This BYEASY Hub provided a firm connection with several devices/cables I tested. Another problem I had with both earlier units was that performance seemed to get worse with the addition of more devices. I’ve tested the BYEASY HUB hard for over three weeks now, and found no issues. I’ve stress tested it under significant load in various configurations. For example, I ran two USB PRINTERS, 1 USB-to-VGA Adapter, and one wireless receiver as the interface to both my keyboard and mouse; simultaneously. There were no hiccups noted, i.e.: no hesitation of keyboard/mouse movement, no blinking or hesitation in VGA screen graphics, and no apparent impact on printer performance. I must say that one of my suspicions with the earlier units was the possibility that my devices were demanding more current from the PC’s USB Port then the Port can supply. Readers should be aware that USB 3 Gen 1 Ports are limited to 900ma (this is only 9/10ths of 1 Amp). As such, loading a USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Port with more current/power demand then 900ma can cause various issues. These could be observed as simple functional anomalies, and/or (depending on circuit/component design quality) possibilities of heat/smoke/damage. The BYEASY HUB is supplied with a power cord that allows external power supply input; if needed. However, you will need to provide your own USB power source. I used the Amazon Basics 12W (2.4A) USB Wall Charger. Based on what I learned from this overall experience, I would never again attempt to use a 4 port hub on a USB 3 Gen 1 Port, without also providing a power source; just to be safe. On the other hand, if on a USB Gen 2 Port, there should be no issues. However Gen 2 Ports are still rare, especially on laptops. I’ve also learned not to confuse USB 3.1 with Gen 1, as USB 3.0 is also “Gen 1”, and also provides 900ma. If I had a USB-powered external HDD, I’d have tested it too, because these devices can pull 1 Amp all by themselves. But since my external power supply can provide 2.4A, and the Port can provide 900ma, the total current avail would be around 3.3A, which would be plenty: I’d never want to load this HUB at that level under typical conditions, but it’s always better to have excess power supply capacity as opposed to having barely enough. This is because demanding high (near limit) loads requires the power supply to work harder then is best for it’s health and survivability.

This USB HUB has great size and easy to use with my Macbook Pro. I can connect monitor, USB keys and HDD. The USB HUB shell looks very delicate and textured.It's kind of a frosted texture feel in your hand, really good.Its cable is also that kind of woven, very different from my previous one.This USB HUB has two ports, which makes it easy for me to connect different devices. Although the price of this product is a little bit high, but its shell and quality are pretty good. Highly recommend.

Nice hub, works well. No issues with it at this time. Liked that it has a USB C adapter on it and that it comes with a power cord. However not sure why the power cord is micro usb to usb a when most new cords and devices are usb A to usb C power supply. Power supply cord could be a little longer as well because it’s hard to have it plugged into power when your device is on your desk and your power supply is on the floor. Braided cord to connect to computer is nice and should keep wires from falling apart.

It worked perfectly for plugging everything into my PS5s back USB ports. I have my camera, psvr box, and 3d pulse wireless dongle all plugged in and they work great. Don’t use it for hard drives. There isn’t enough power. But if you plug your hard drive in one of the back ones and this one in the other, you can have everything at once without using the front ports. Set up looks great!

I use my USB hub to connect my headset and keyboard to my laptop which has a limited number of USB ports. This product took care of my issue of having to disconnect my keyboard to use my headset. Perfect solution.

It's so irritating how few USB ports there are on PCs and Laptops and how many peripherals require a USB connection. I've been using this for about 3 months now and it is working great. It's fairly unobtrusive and all my connections are working as expected.

Only had a few days, but plugged a keyboard, microphone, and audio interface into it and it worked fine. I gave it a lower rating, though, because it had no real instructions for the extra cable that came with it, something I think they call a microdata cable. One end of it plugs into the device, the other is a USB connection. When I plugged them in, none of the USB connections worked. The instructions talk about using a power supply when plugging in 2-3 hard drives. No clue as to what the power supply might be. I quote: "When connected to 2-3 hard disks, because the hard disk consumes a lot of power, please plug the charger into the Micro USB port for supply power firstly, so as to avoid the hard disk running abnormally."I've pretty much left it plugged in, charging my phone. Got it primarily for using my USB keyboard and separate audio interface, as my MacBook Air only has two USB ports, and one of them is holding my storage disk.

I used this ti connect a several external USB hard drives to a computer for a home server. There is allot of data flow and this device does the job. Good Purchase.
