Powered USB Hub ikuai 7-Port USB 3 2 USB C Hub with 3 10Gbps Data Ports 2 USB-C

I bought this hub because it has both usb and usbc connections. The build quality is excellent as has been connectivity with my computer. I have experienced no problems with it so far and it works well with my McBook Air M3. While I suppose the buttons are handy for some I have found they are not really necessary for my applications. Also, when I use them on my storage devices, I receive the dreaded “disk not properly ejected” message. However, this is a Mac issue and not a problem with the hub. I also understand I can turn off that messaging, which I may do to eliminate that irritation. In retrospect, I wish it had more usb outlets. I was surprised at how quickly you can fill up 7 ports when your computer only has 2 and one of them has to receive the usb hub. These are minor complaints and really not related to the quality of the hub, but I wanted to give a heads-up to MacBook Air owners who are considering this purchase. I rate it excellent as is, and the combination of usb and usbc connections can’t be beat by the other hubs I was looking at. However, if another hub had the same array but more outlets, I would probably go that route. I also think that if you tend to shut your computer down after using it the buttons are not really necessary, although I thought I wanted them at the time I bought the hub. One irritation I found was that it is easy to unknowing turn off buttons when unplugging a device. (It’s necessary to hold the button slightly longer when turning it off, but I found this can easily happen when unplugging devices. Granted, it has led lights to alert you to this and in the end it’s no big deal once you discover why something isn’t working, but it’s also something to consider when buying any hub with buttons. I also suggest buying a hub where the buttons are on the opposite side of where you reach across the hub to unplug devices. Again, excellent hub but I wish they offered a larger hub with the same mixed usb array and gave you the option of buttons or no buttons or at least having units with buttons on either side so when you place the device for your purposes you aren’t reaching across the buttons to unplug your devices.

I'm happy with this USB hub: plenty of power, jacks, different USB interfaces, and protocol support to accommodate any USB need. Great for both data and power/recharging. The button toggles are a nifty touch too. I've had it for months now, no issues at all. Read more

09/26/2024 This seems to be a fairly new product as there aren't too many reviews yet. But i'm one day in and it's not a disappointment. Product description checks off all my needs for my particular setup at a decent low-to-mid-range price. Nice design over most similar products. It's a lot smaller than it looks in the photos, but it doesn't look or feel cheap. The touch sensitive power buttons are fancy. Instant on, but you have to touch and hold to turn them off which is a great feature. Now when i first plugged this in, it did a good job at charging my phone, powering lights and webcam, but it wasn't reading any hard drives i tried to connect. I tested every port onto every port and it still wasn't reading any drives. I almost returned and gave a one-star review, but turned out the usb-c cable wasn't in all the way lol. Everything's great so far. All ports function properly. Hasn't given off any heat so far. And I've always been confused about how marketing covers port functionality. Are they charging ports only, or can they also transfer data? Now i know the answer is yes, all ports can charge and transfer data. Also good to know my system doesn't need the AC power supply but it's nice to have it just in case. Will give an update if anything happens to it. For now, very happy with this product. UPDATE 07/01/2025 Everything's still good! I'm just updating this to ask Ikuai to make more hubs like this, but with an added ethernet port, please! lol. Others out there either don't have enough USB ports, or they have unnecessary HDMI ports and SD card readers etc. I just want one with a ton of USB ports and an ethernet port Read more

Works great, just one of the USB ports may be defective, I am not able to plug a USB into that one, but everything else is fine Read more
