I bought this little hub to do more with my Raspberry Pi project. Naturally, I'm now using it for way more than that because it's a handy little device with the power of USB 3.0. You can't beat the value here! It was only $6.99 to my door—which is the cost of two or 3 cheap cups of coffee—and the quality is fantastic! For such a low price, I expected something flimsy, but this thing is solid. It's also compact an portable - so it can get lost in a pocket with the change for your next cup of coffee. The best part? It uses the classic USB-A connector. There's no fancy USB-D or USB-Z nonsense here—I don't even know if that's a thing, but I know this tried-and-true connection always fits (even if I have to flip it three times first). It's the perfect solution for modern electronics that assume you only need one port. Read more
Just got this. So simple to set up and use. It was just what I needed and works perfectly from the start plus easy a great price. Read more
I am using this USB splitter as a surface mounted USB on my DIY monitor stand. I ordered this one in particular because it was affordable and very low profile. Using some generic double sided tape, I stuck the hub to the bottom of the wooden shelf portion and connected it the PC using a 3ft USB extension cable. I previously used a different brand of USB splitter but something broke inside and was causing an error. So I replaced it with this one and have gotten great results. It works perfectly and is capable of charging as well as data transmission. I never have any lag issues when using a mouse plugged into this device. As far as I can tell, the power output is similar other USB hubs I've used. The wire on this one is super short but I did see multiple wire length options. Or you can just use a USB extension cable instead. Overall, I'm super happy with this USB hub. It works great for my needs and is super low profile. It doesn't take up any more room than needed. 10/10 product, works great and is very reasonably priced. Read more
the USB hub is working perfectly as expected, no complaint at all. Read more
In these modern times, when the multiplicity of devices clamors for attention and connection, the UGREEN USB 3.0 Hub, with its four ports, presents itself as a most commendable instrument of order. Its construction is modest yet firm, the ports accommodating a variety of implements with ease and without fuss. I have employed it with several devices—external drives, keyboards, and a host of other technological appendages—and found it to perform with admirable constancy, maintaining swift transmission of data as if it were an obedient steward attending to the whims of its master. Yet, perfection remains elusive. The hub, though competent, does not escape entirely the occasional flicker of instability under duress, and the length of its cable may, for some, impose slight inconvenience. Nevertheless, these trifles are easily outweighed by the convenience it affords, bringing order to the chaos of multiple connections. Four stars, for the device demonstrates both utility and steadfastness, a faithful companion for those who navigate the ever-growing labyrinth of modern electronics. Read more
This makes life so much more convenient. All of the ports work as they should. Its durable, portable, and high quality material. Its light weight. The slim design doesnt take up much space. The cord has some length to it so you can leave it behind, on the side, or in front of the monitor. Read more
Like it or not, USB "A" is going to be around for a long time - especially if you have a bunch of legacy devices. That leaves most of us needing to expand the number of USB ports from our laptop or other devices. Please do note that this hub is not intended for high power consumption devices or charging. It may trickle a small charge to your phone or tablet, but expect it to take a very long time. I use this for numerous devices that are primarily moving data and it handles them all efficiently. Webcam, printer, sound bar, mouse, keyboard, thumb drives, and the list goes on. I even have one with the longer cable attached to my desktop computer that has a plethora of USB ports, but many are on the back of the tower out of reach. After all, USB is about quick and easy access. So why this one? I've owned a number of USB hubs and this is the best one I've found so far. One of the biggest problems with lesser USB hubs is a poor fiit of the USB A ports that can result in sketchy connections. Not good when you're transferring critical data. This is particularly important with a laptop where the hub may be dangling or input cables may move around. Additionally it feels sturdy, its compact size helps keep my desk tidy, and I have not yet found a use case where it doesn't work although as they say, YMMV. Read more
