The design is a very good idea. It did not fit my countertop due to the top thickness.I got it to work anyways after I removed the rubber pad attached to the thumb screw. My countertop is a standard thickness for an office desk and this device almost did not work The instructions are all but worthless. I'm an engineer by trade, which helped me determine the fix. Anyone who is not able to figure this out would be upset that it did not fit a standard desk. Beyond that I still gave 5 stars because I like the concept and the quality of the product. I just think the designers need to get a better feel for what their products should actually fit. This tells me they did not research the end users existing countertops. Read more
I didn't know these were made. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed it. And I was right. It works great. The connectivity has no problems and the clamp is very secure. Solid metal construction is a plus. Great value but I attached an extension to the short cord. Read more
Fantastic usb hub. Clamps on my computer desk and stays out of the way. I keep computers for a long time and usually wear out the case usb ports. This makes it easy to avoid using them and when it wears out, I will just buy another one. Read more
The ORICO USB 3.0 Hub shines with its innovative clamp design, which is a breath of fresh air in the realm of desktop organization. This design choice is not only a space saver but also a robust alternative to the traditional hub that occupies valuable desk real estate. The hub's build quality is commendable, with a strong aluminum body that promises durability. When it comes to performance, it delivers the expected USB 3.0 speeds efficiently, making data transfer swift and reliable. The additional power supply port is a thoughtful inclusion for devices that may require more juice. However, the product does have room for improvement. Its clamp may struggle to fit some monitors or desks, suggesting a need for a more adaptable design. Different size screw-on clamps, a telescopic clamp, or just a wider clamp with various-sized spacers would be great alternatives. Additionally, various sized screw lengths and the ability to adjust the height of the screw would significantly improve its compatibility and versatility. The hub's blue power LED presents a visual distraction, as it emanates from the USB ports—a clear oversight. Ideally, this lighting should be discreet and functional without impacting the device's aesthetic. A redesign to confine the illumination would enhance the hub's sleek appearance. In terms of connectivity, the hub's reliance on USB Type-A and Micro USB feels a step behind in the era of USB Type-C's dominance. The absence of Type-C ports limits its utility for newer devices. Further, the decision to exclude a power cable in some models may be a significant inconvenience for some users, and the hub's failure to support the latest USB standards could deter those seeking top-tier performance. Taking all these factors into account, this hub is a solid choice for those looking for USB 3.0 speeds and a clutter-free desk, but it may not satisfy those in need of the latest connectivity options or with plans to mount on wider surfaces. That said, I find myself quite satisfied with the ORICO USB 3.0 Hub and have made the decision to retain it as a part of my tech ensemble. Nonetheless, my quest for an ideal hub that addresses the current model's minor flaws while maintaining its strengths shall continue. Read more

Simple and easy hookup. Just plug it in to any USB 3.0 or above port and have at it! Extend your speed. I always recommend you plug these extenders into any backside port on your computer for consistent power and speed. I attached mine to the lower part of my monitor facing me so I have instantaneous access as needed. The difference in speed from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 is 2-3 times faster for uploads and downloads making this seem like a turbocharged add-on worthy of it's cost. Read more
