usb hub that works

[notrub]

After trying a number of hubs including a couple of powered ones that do not work I bought a plain Hoco 4 socket usb hub for less than 200 baht delivered and it works.

What works depends a lot on what you connect.

If you have a hub without external power then you can't connect and use several devices which all need power at the same time.

Also be aware of cable length. A long cable plus a hub plus more long cables are a bad idea!

I have the Anker USB hub that I bought online. So far I have no complaints about it.

Thanks.  I bought a couple of HOCO 4 socket usb hubs from Lazada for less than 200 baht and they have been working well.  Their cables work too and are equally inexpensive.

Same here.  The expensive ones with external supplies, had no luck with them.  Tried them on multiple computers, but...

I have a 4-port USB 3.0 for maybe 2 years now, use it for wireless keyboard and mouse and syncing, so far so good.

Kind of looking forward to USB-C as I'm a little clumsy and tend to screw up my USB ports when plugging/unplugging.
