USB 3.2 Powered 4-Port Mini Hub, 5Gbps Fast Data Transfer with ESD & Surge Protection – Durable and Mountable USB Hub

I use this above my living room PC to hold the receivers for my wireless keyboard and gamepads with a good line of sight to the couch. Very solidly built and perfect for my application. No power delivery issues due to the dedicated power supply and I noticed no reduction in speed when using an external SSD.

solid connection no noticeable input delay and provides ample power. i have stream deck, mouse charger, and camera connected no problems with stream deck and camera running at same time. would recommend. love the finish on it and easy to mount.

Update: While the ability of the one that failed had to do with it's ability to power higher watt devices I found that it still functioned as a non powered USB hub. I needed a standard non powered hub and was going to order one but decided to try this as a standard hub and it does work. So even though it failed as a power injector for my situation I still get to use it as a hub.. Thanks CoolGear....I purchased the first one 2.5 years ago and loved it for it's size and ability and for the all metal construction. It did great work for 2.5 years and then it quit being able to power my 2-4TB and 1-2TB USB drives for my PLEX server. Just could no longer put out enough power. Ordered another a week ago and first tried to see if the new power supply would fix it but it did not. So I replaced both the power supply and the main feature "the box" and I am back up and running. I like it enough that I did not even want to try a different brand. I took one star off for being a 2.5 year product. Thanks CoolGear....

Like Ringoo, I also have a simulator that’s used for iRacing, and very high-end wheel with a large display, tons of LEDs, and backlit buttons.(GSI Hyper P1 wheel.)The software for the wheel warns you against using Medium or High brightness for the LEDs and Buttons.Even set to Low brightness in the drivers and then lowered quite a bit more via Simhub (the app that drives all the lights and dashboard while racing) it was having random disconnects on various other powered hubs, or when directly connected to my Asus z790 Hero Motherboard due to requiring about 10 - 15’ of cable to reach the PC from my simulator.I bought this hub after seeing it recommended in the wheel manufacturers Discord site.I connected this hub directly to my PC motherboard via a Cable Matters 10’ USB-B to USB-A USB 3.0 cable instead of the 3’ included cable, and then mounted the hub to my simulator. My wheel connects to one of the four USB ports on it.With this hub, and ONLY this hub I am able to turn all the lights, displays and LEDs up so bright they will sear your eyeballs, & with zero USB drop out.This is AFTER trying 4 other powered USB 3.0 hubs, a powered USB-C hub, and multiple tries with different length USB-A to Female USB-A 3.0 extension cables, with and without a power cord connection or repeater, to connect the wheel to my motherboard without a hub (to USB 3.2 10gb’s ports or 3.0 ports.) No other solution worked, but this hub nails it.5/5 Stars. Now to buy two more of the 7 port version!

This USB hub is different from standard USB hubs in that it puts out enough power to quick charge a smart phone. As an initial test I plugged my Galaxy S9+ phone in to see how 'quick' it would actually charge. I gained 25% charge in less than 10 minutes. WHOA. This thing puts out some juice. I paired it with a high end cable (Amazon item # B00IOXVWL6 -- Usb 3.0 Super speed A-B Active Cable w/ built in repeater), mounted it at the front of my standing desk so now I have an easy access, out of the way power charging block & usb connection to my computer. Excellent product.

Now this is how hardware should be designed!

Had to return because the power cable was too loose and the hub would lose power. Disappointing because the build quality was good, and this unit was recognized at USB 3 by the system, which is what we were looking for.

I had a particular wheelrim for my sim rig that was very power and data throughput hungry. This hub not only delivers enough power to the wheelrim, not only deals with the data throughput issues, but is built in a very solid metal housing and is very easy to mount to a profile rig.Nothing bad to say about this product; it's fantastic.
