Great solutio
After buying a new device I suddenly realised my aging pc
had run out of usb ports, this is the perfect answer to that
problem. Inexpensive and simple, works just fine.
Anker 4-port, USB 3.0, Data hub
This is USB powered, and very portable. It is working well with my USB SSD drives, and my USB flash drives. I plug my Anker 4-port data hub in to a mains-powered data hub, which is permanently plugged in to my desktop computer.
does the Job
i got fed up with trying to plug stuff into the back of my PC so i Baught this no more rumageing around the back of a PC.
the product works flawlessly i even tested it to charge up my phone and a few other items it it was fine, so far zero probs, i would recomend 100%
Anker already do quality and this is no exception. It isn’t complicated, but does what it says it will.
I think they could probably have shaved off a little more of the casing to make it slightly more compact, but I’m still happy with it. It works well with no fuss, which is what’s most important.
Does the job, no issues.
This is a fairly discreet looking product, and if you care it vaguely seems like it matches space grey (or whatever its called) macbook finish.
I have been using it for almost a year and no issues, runs a HDMI to my monitor and have the power coming in via this device, as well as a couple USB things plugged in.
I’m using this on a 2017 Macbook Pro (yes, that one which helpfully comes with only two thunderbolt-3/usb-c style ports and one of those needs to be for the power).
Seems good so fa
Bought to replace a powered USB hub that seemed to be sending current back towards the motherboard USB port…
Rejigged all the USB devices and made it so this hub now just had the lowest power drawing devices and seems to work fine.
No problem with latency using it with wireless mouse, keyboard and controller dongles as far as I can tell either.
Works well
This works well and the sockets are secure but I would have preferred a longer fly lead as I use it on an all in one . It would be ok on a laptop
Reliable brand
Great sleek design with subtle blue backlighting of the ports so easy to find in dim light. Using with my laptop which only has 2 usb ports on it – now I can charge my phone, plug in my mouse and keyboard and have my usb desk fan running! Perfect.
Works
When modern laptops don’t have enough USB ports for your desktop accessories this top quality product fixes that. All usbs ports work for all functions, charging, wireless mouse Adaptors, Bluetooth Adaptors memory sticks and external drives.
I have used for a few weeks before to leave my review, and can’t say nothing wrong. Top quality product for a ridicolous price. It works as it should do. Highly recommended. Just abl quick update. I revieed this product because the company offered a voucher of $50 for it. I havent received anything. Dont trusth them
5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good.
Fit for purpose. I will try to update if needed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice compact USB hub
Does the job perfectly for the space I have it i
5.0 out of 5 stars Handy
This is my second of these, and I’ve had the first 5+ years. Great piece of kit and clearly last well
Does the job
Works fine but the USB ports are close together and had to use alternate sockets when plugging in USB sticks – not a problem if you only want to transfer between 2 sticks.
Wonderful! Only very small issues
Works like a charm, very useful if you swap out devices alot! I’m personally using this to make sure I can always have my controller, hard-drive, and mouse can all be plugged in at once, despite my laptop only having 2 USB ports.
Only a few small issues I have to mention: Video capture devices like my capture card may need to be re-selected in program settings. When I unplugged the hub and plugged it back in the capture device was recognised as a different source. Not a major issue, but can be annoying.
One time my controller just stopped working until I plugged it into a different slot, not sure what that was about but its only happened once, just thought it should be mentioned!
Overall, still works wonderfully, no major issues!
Solution for lap tops particularly with limited USB ports. 1 Male to converts to 4 female ports
Was introduced to this by an ACER Fitter who came to sort out an interface problem between the lap top and a device and found that the female export USB on the lap-top had become damaged and not conducting data.
Two others which worked no issue but I needed the third which was dead and another, making four ports in total.
This solved the problem by making one female USB ports in to four. allowing USB connections to printers, keyboards for peoples’ hand who can’t deal with small lap-top boards, CD-ROM drives and other plug in Memory stick/drives.
Three port machine becomes a 12 port with one of these in each of the three machine’s female ports. in effect creating 9 extra ports available.
Does not like plug in wireless internet inter-faces such as “net gear” as it relies on the CD Driver being accepted by the lap top itself as a dedicated inter-face
Very good, reliable interface and back up for lap tops particularly where USB ports tend to be more fragile. Can be carried in a brief case or pocket but would suggest that it is in some sort of envelope to keep the ports dust free.
Very good value tool and emergency periphory.
I use this to connect my wireless mouse, keyboard and headset to my laptop, this is actually the second one I’ve bought as travel between mine and my parents place. I quite like that it has a small lead which means I can let it hang over the back of the table, I’ve never has any issues with the wires getting loose, if anything I’ve not been very gentle with it, it’s taken a good beating, I’ve pulled on the wire from the wrong places and it’s still functioned as well as the day I bought it. Not really sure what else to say. It’s a 4 port USB hub, probably isn’t the product for you if you need 5 ports.
Simply a fantastic product!!!
Simply fantastic product, exceeds expectations, I use it to connect my gaming equipment, using it I have experienced zero lag, even under stress, it is unrivalled, always ready to use
It did the job I wanted it for.
Had to add peripherals to a laptop. They all plugged in correctly and worked immediately. Did exactly what I wanted. Also the hub takes up only a small amount of space and is light. Perfect for waht I required.
Handy USB extender for computers with limited ports
They work and for the few months I’ve had it still works absolutely fine. I don’t move mine (i.e plug it in and out regularly) and use it for it’s extra ports to plug in my mouse/keyboards and speakers.
I don’t use it to charge anything or data transfer, I keep those tasks on the original usb port that came with the computer. Before my headset, keyboards etc were taking up those slots.
If you want the wired accessories you use with your compute to not hog up all your original ports this is a good solution.
It works for what I’ve mentioned, hasn’t broke so I’m good and happy.
Great value, small and portable
Small and portable, handy for laptops with limited usb ports.
It works well an does it’s job
Easy to use pretty much just plug it in a usb 3.0 and that’s i
4-Port USB 3.0 as described.
This Anker product works well after a couple of weeks’use. It does not get hot after being connected several hours and at the moment it did not fail at all. Looks good quality product and it does the job. Product arrived in time and well protected.
Excellent!
I needed extra USB ports for my laptop and bought the Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Ultra Slim Data Hub. It was delivered quickly at a great price and it worked perfectly. A good choice if you are looking to add extra USB ports.
plugged in to pc for cam, keyboard and mouse, so far no major issues
after getting it secure and stable it’s worked seemlessly. no noticeable lag
Worked as expected
Had to purchase this as our laptop has only one usb port and the others are usb c,this worked as expected to be able to connect a dongle and a cable for an update to one of our devices.
Perfec
It arrived very quickly and simply plugged into my computer to enhance its connectivity. Simple
Does what it's supposed to
Works well, the transfer speed for attached device isn’t affected, so it really is USB 3
Works as described
I needed this USB hub to hook up my mouse and keyboard and swap them between my WFH laptop and my main PC. This device from anker does this job, nothing remarkable, just does it without any problems. The mouse and keyboard draw 700mA @ 5V so they are withing the rated 900mA that thisbproduct claims it can deliver, so far so good.
Very useful & does the job
Bought as my new work laptop has fewer ports (connection points). Now I can use this little device to plug in to the only port on right hand side of my laptop, providing four additional ports in to which I connect my headset and mouse. If I used a keyboard, I could also connect that in as well.
Reliable, sleek USB Hub
Been using for more than an year, works well. Using it to connect a mechanical keyboard with lighting effects, and wireless mouse.
Great but wish it had more USB slots
Great, lightweight, portable and fast but its a shame its only got 4 slots, wish it had 8 or 9
All good, Anker is good
I went for Anker as they do other things I like. This is quite lightweight but Im ok with that. Its good for my sd card reader but not with additional powered HDD drive or ssd drive on an adapter, only one thing at a time. Mice and keyboards are fine
Works perfectly well
Brought this to expand the amount of USB ports on a tablet. Plugged in and works straight away.
No nonsense, no fuss. Just really solid.
Compact and quick
Does exactly as you would expect. USB 3 speeds on the devices I’ve attached and no faults found.
This device works
Not everything purporting to be a USB hub works well but this one does.
Best buy
Can not fault the product. Works great and does it’s job! Would recommend.
Handy USB hub
Arrived promptly, needed extra usb ports on a new laptop. It’s not powered, so is limited to the number of devices that require a high power draw. Max 800ma total. But ideal so I can plug in keyboard, mouse, memory stick. Working perfectly.
A simple cheap USB 3 multihub
Does exactly what it is meant too. It gives you more usb3 ports.
I recommend this produc
It’s a good buy for this price and I will recommend i
Small and ligh
Very compact and does the job well. Would have preferred a slightly longer lead otherwise perfect.
Does what it's supposed to do
Not much to say. It’s a USB hub and the transfer speeds are what you would expect from a USB3 device. No issues at all.
4 port USB hub
Got it to use with my work laptop at home, as it came with less USB ports than I had peripherals to plug into it, and it got tired quite quickly having to unplug the mouse to plug in my headset.
Works fine, no problem plugging it in and getting the mouse etc plugged in.
Money well spent.
Great little gadge
I needed more USB portals for my iMac computer as there are only 4 on the monitor. The Anker 4 port USB does the job perfectly. Plugged it in and it worked straight away when I plugged in my portable hard drive and other portable devices. It is lightweight so easily portable if required. Other people have commented on the short lead. The lead is short but adequate for my computer needs don’t like long tailing leads anyway!!! All in all a good produc
Highly recommended products
I always buy anker products as its always best quality and very study these even includes all my iphone chargers and powerbanks.Great value for money.I bought this port for my anker power banks and all working perfectly,charges fast.
Great USB Hub
I bought this as I wanted a brand I could trust from amazon so purchased an anker version. Does the job and nice and sturdy. Gets enough powerf for a graphics tablet as well as two other devices but may take more.
Brilliant compact and sturdy USB hub
Not a lot that you can say about a USB hub other than that it works.
This one is compact and sturdy – feels well made and high quality. I’ve got on well with other Anker kit that I have.
Functional and simple
Lightweight and easy to use. I have attached it to my laptop to connect mouse and webcam etc. there is a blue light which remains on even when I turn off the laptop so not sure if it is draining power from the laptop battery. Hence giving it 4*.
Stonking Little USB Hub
This is a lovely bit of kit for the price. Feels a little bit plasticky but an ideal size for modern day slimline laptops. I had to send mine back as I was trying to run too many things off it. But I would still recommend it those wanting a non powered USB hub 🙂
A handy device
.
This is an essential device for laptop users who never have enough USB ports.
.
You will be able to free up the ports on your laptop and use this USB hub for mouse, keyboard, USB sticks and ONE external hard drive.
.
This is not intended for power users but is perfect for a laptop user who just needs more USB ports.
.
Worked on the PS5
I needed more usb space on my ps5. I plugged in the camera and the vr box and it all worked fine.
Warning though , it won’t work with a wireless headset. It will work but it will cut out as that needs it own port.
Solid USB Hub From a Trusted Brand
Solid non powered USB hub, ideal for connecting keyboard, mouse, headset etc.
It has four ports and a dim blue light to say its connected.
The extension cable is nice and short so the hub doesn’t end up on the floor.
Very portable and easy to connect and remove.
Trusted brand and delivered by Amazon.
Expand the number of usb on a tv
I’ve bought a number if these to expand the number of usb ports on different brands of televisions – they are small, light and can be tucked out if the way ..and more importantly they just work !
Not the best but gets the job done ✅
Great value for money at this price and the brand is established enough to speak for itself quality-wise. Have experienced slight delays at times but generally good and reliable for your usual every day use. Definitely lightweight and portable enough to keep in your laptop bag.
Never leave home without it ...... oh and your laptop of course
Excellent piece of kit for you laptop, especially when laptops these days have less and less ports. I’ve always found Anker products good (I also have a mini speaker from them when I travel).
Less Laptop USB Ports sorted
My daughters personal laptop and work laptop don’t have enough usb ports for the things she uses. This has allowed her to now leave these items connected to this hub and when she swaps laptops its just a matter of just unplugging this usb hub and plugging it into the usb 3 port on the other laptop. Saves time and also aids her productivity.
Does the Job
As working from drags on, and devices have increased, I bought this item to accommodate a memory stick, a mouse and a headset, which is does without any problems.
Excellent value
You really can’t skimp TOO much on USB hubs, there are even cheaper ones them this I’ve tried, but this one is a happy middle ground of doing everything it should, with no extras, and not costing too much.
Any cheaper and likely you won’t be able to use every hub for hard drives (as I sometimes do) and you have to spend a lot more to get any insane bonuses like video pass through or other types of port.
Worked as expected
A handy little thing to have around for plugging in several things to your laptop. I plugged in a microphone and my mouse at the same time and it worked well. Haven’t tried using up all the ports yet. So far so good.
xmas prese
This item was a xmas present and as yet I have not had any fee back from them
Lightweight, connection quality decent - some hitches
I like how portable it is, and the quality of the build is good. Although, it is plastic. The wire rubbery, a sign of good quality. It has a LED which is nice but I personally don’t need. The ports fit in the USB Male ends good.
However, I would have liked to have a longer cable but perhaps that would have ruined the portability. When I disconnect the USB from my laptop, and connect it back again, it takes about 2-4 secs of it actually recognising my peripherals and then procedes to power them on. It has only happened once that my mouse software said my mouse wasn’t plugged in yet it was, but was easily solved by disconnecting and reconnecting it. But to be fair, I think that was my laptop’s fault.
Great little hub. Quality item.
Great little hub. Quality item.
Power drain concern not affecting me. I’m running the keyboard, webcam, and phone charging off it fine. I didn’t plug in the mouse as well, as not use all the time, so goes directly into the laptop when I do use it.
Great quality product from a well known brand.
There are cheaper USB hubs on the market however I always like to purchase from known brands when using anything to provide power to any devices. In my use case, I am using this at work to power several items, notably a Raspberry PI, Amazon Echo, and two Lightning Cables to charge instore devices. It is receiving constant power so it is important it is safe and reliable to be left on whilst nobody is present.
The design is nice and sleek. The finish of the product is smooth and ergonomic and the quality is very good. The cable length is more than adequate and can of course be extended easily enough with an extension cable if necessary. In my instance, this is fixed to a frame in a permanent setting however if you were travelling with a device and needed a portable USB hub this would be more than sufficient for your needs. It is lightweight and takes up no space at all so would easily fit in a laptop bag or a pocket with little to no impact.
The device has no mounting points. In most instances I suspect this would not be an issue but would be handy if it came with some way to mount to a desk or surface. In my permanent setting I popped the rear cover off and used two slim profile screws to attach to a frame after using a countersink to provide seating. After covering the screw heads with electrical tape I was able to pop the body of the device back onto the cover which I had screwed on allowing the unit to be permanently fixed. Although this is not ideal it suits my needs. Due to the slim profile there is little space within however the slim profile screws do not affect the functionality or contact the main board. The electrical tape is simply to remove any risk there is a risk of shorting out. Obviously, this would void any warranty on the device.
Decent hub, let down by a slightly too short cable
So I wanted to break out a USB 3 port on the docking station I use for my laptop. For space reasons, the laptop’s on a stand, the dock’s underneath the stand and if I want to plug something into it (a thumbdrive, say) temporarily, it’s a bit of a pain. So I bought this hub to put some ports where I can reach them.
Does it work? Yes. Works perfectly. Neat, slim, functional, all that.
But the cord is only a few inches long. So it emerges from under the laptop stand and because of the various legs and bits, it has to sort of stick out sideways rather than tidily flat.
Does this matter? Possibly only to me. So I’ve dropped it a star but if I could have dropped it half a star instead, I’d have done that because there’s little enough wrong with it really and I could just buy a short extension cable…
Works
Got no problems with its functionality so far, been using it for a few weeks to provide a few extra ports on my laptop for an external keyboard, mouse, and usb audio headset. The short wire is quite stiff, and the plug is sort of bulky for a usb plug. Might be annoying if it wasn’t hidden away behind my desk
Lightweight and Simple
Usually, when buying usb hubs I prefer to use active ones. However, because I know the capabilities of my usb bus, plus I know the requirements of the devices I’ll be connecting, I felt safe that this would be ok.
I must say, I’ve been very impressed so far. It’s very lightweight which makes portability easy. It is truly usb 3 compliant with backward compatibility with other usb versions too.
My usb ports have been filled with a mouse and a microphone, leaving no room to plug in and USB storage or readers, whicj is quite inconvenient.
This hub enables me to re-juggle my USB connections while still having room for more (bus power allowing).
If i had one complaint, it would be that the usb cable on the hub isn’t replaceable. The cable comes all kinked (for packaging), which of course, after time this will damage the cores, making it unusable. If only the cable was replaceable, that would be excellent!
So yes, for a passive USB Hub, this gets top marks.
Does what it has to
This has 4 ports but you can usually only use 2 due to power limitations of USB port on your PC, make sure that if you need to power more than 2 devices, you get one with separate power connector or the device itself has separate power source.
Great USB Extende
Used this extender for my HP Zbook that has mainly USB-C ports and one USB-B port. Works very well, being using for 6 months + and still working well as would be expected from and Anker product.
Beautifully made, highly recommend
This is a really high quality item, I’m delighted with it. It’s beautifully finished, and even the packaging is lovely. The sockets are a snug fit and feel really well made. It’s replacing an older lower quality hub which has sloppy sockets and loses the connection if you move it, which was causing my external USB camera to drop out during Zoom meetings. The new Anker hub connects perfectly and I have every confidence it’s going to go on working for years. Really impressed.
Great usb extensio
Upgraded my home computer and needed extra usb ports.. This fit the bill perfectly.. It’s super quick for me due to what I am using computer wise… The speed of this extension will only shine if your equipment is capable… Remember… You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear…. It’s small yet very capable… I’m well impressed.. Cheers
Perfect works a trea
Like so many now working from home and with two monitors, headset, keyboard abd mouse there was not enough lap top sockets. This has solved it all and now have ports free. No issue with any devises plugged in. So happy bought more for co-workers (how to win friends and influence lol).
Works on PS4
Bought it as ps4 slim only has 2 usb ports. Needed extra for connecting steering wheel or charging controllers along with vr and external hard drive. Recommend this if you are getting vr head set.
Does what it says on the ti
No complaints. Its a USB port extender and it works well. No feedback or connection issues with my gaming mouse or headset. I have my Bluetooth receiver connected through this and my sound is always perfect on logitech headset. My mouse has no issues every click reads.
Feels well made and durable, works grea
Great dock. Construction feels well made and durable, is portable, and I haven’t experienced any bandwidth reduction when plugging in flash drives through the dock. Handles multiple peripherals without any issues.
I think some of the negative reviews I’ve seen are unfair. The dock is within the USB-standard specifications, so it delivers upto 5V 1A which it divides between the four ports as necessary. This is normal and is how USB 3 A-Type hubs are supposed to function and it’s perfectly adequate for connecting mice, keyboards, webcams and flash drives. The reviews complaining that it doesn’t deliver more power are being silly, it can’t deliver more power then a single USB port because that’s what it’s ultimately plugged into (and this is fine for the vast majority of cases anyway).
Handy little USB hub
Bought this knowing it limitations (power limits).
So far it has worked great and allows me have multiple items connected to my Lenovo laptop (with its single USB port!). I can now copy files from my camera/video work whilst still having a mouse connected. Previously with my old usb2.0 hub it would take soo long I would have to remove the mouse just to get the full wire speed of my laptops usb3.0 port.
Great, buy one if you want a small, passive/unpowered but fast little hub.
Add USB ports to LG TV
I bought this device to add more USB ports to my LG TV. I connect a Bluetooth Keyboard and a USB Stick linked to the TV’s recording facility. The keyboard works well but recording facility is only half functional — it will playback existing recordings but is unable to record new ones.
Brilliant - powers so many items from laptop.
Excellent product. I did my research as I wanted to plug in my mouse, a camera (with ring light) and a speaker phone. Saw many others that may not be able to do what I wanted. So probably paid a little more that what I should’ve but we’ll worth it.
Quality wise, it’s good. Functionally, it’s awesome. I’ve had items plugged into all sockets and it powers them all fine from my laptop.
Would have no hesitation in recommending it.
Functional
This works well. I had a problem with using all 4 ports and 1 was to charge a power bank. That made all 4 not work when I needed one for a mouse and the other for a keyboard to be connected to a work laptop. So I guess I was pushing it. But otherwise it functions well. Idk about camera quality.
Got this for my Xbox One S
I got this for my Xbox One S. The Xbox has three USB 3.0 ports; two in the back and one on the front. I have a external HD and the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner plugged into the back. I wanted to plug in a wireless mouse and Keyboard (each on its own dongle) and leave a port free at the front for my HOTAS and other wired controllers. I have the Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Ultra Slim Data Hub plugged into one of the rear ports. The HD is plugged into the other as it needs to be powered. The Xbox One Digital TV Tuner and keyboard and mouse dongles are now plugged into the Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Ultra Slim Data Hub. All three work flawlessly with no connection problems.
Brilliant as always
Do you pay over the odds for Anker stuff? Yes.
Is it worth it? Yes.
Everything they make is so well-designed, so logical. A USB hub is the ultimate purchase where the cheapest one should be fine. But anyone who actually works with a USB hub every day will know that there is nothing more frustrating than a bad one.
This is a good one, and is well worth the premium.
A good 4-port USB hub with a blue LED showing it is powered up
It works, it was delivered in good time. It is lighweight and has a very short cable but I use it with a USB extension cable so no problem for me. It seems of at least reasonable quality but has a cheap plastic case, so may not be robust if carried around and used in different places, but for sitting on my desktop in perpetuity it is fine. It seems expensive to me but it was amongst the cheapest available when I bought it.
One thing I noticed is that when using it with a webcam (and extension cable), the webcam has to be used in the position nearest the cable, otherwise the camera shows flickering, and it is worse in slots further away even when no others are in use.
Works with PS5 and MacBook
I have two of these dongles. Currently using one with my PS5 to connect the PSVR, and the other with my MacBook. Both work with no issues. On my MacBook I have a range of devices connected including a SSD drive. Dongle is plastic but appears to be of a good quality. Came well packaged. Would recommend to other PS5 and MacBook users.
Very Good Produc
This product arrived on time and in good order. It functioned as described by the seller right away and has continued to do so since purchase.
THe reason for four star rather than five is simple. It does what it is supposed to do and nothing more that warrants a five star rating.
Highly recommended.
Great USB port for Laptops and Desktops at an affordable price
Brought this product as I needed a new updated USB hub 3.0 for my laptop. Really good product, it works really well with my 2 external hard drives, Mouse and keyboard. It also works well for transferring files from my laptop to external hard drives
I would really reccomend this product to people that just have 1 or 2 USB build in ports on their desktop computer or laptop as it recognises when you plug it in instantly to your pc and it works really well with external hardives by transferring files reallyfast, and works well with USB mouses and keyboards.
I would definitely repurchase this product if I needed a replacement USB po
High-power SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) stand alone hubs are rated at 900mA
The Anker hub is correctly rated and performs consistently and reliably well. See the photo for the power rating, keyboard and mouse plugged in, and charging an external battery pack, the hub is delivering the expected power of around 1A
To avoid misunderstanding wired USB keyboards usually draw less than 50mA a similar for a wired USB mouse. In my case both draw about 50ma in total.
Keep in mind this is a non powered hub, and connecting an external hard drive that requires power should be connected to a dedicated socket, not a hub.
Worth noting my external battery will charge at much higher than 1A using a dedicated power supply, the Anker hub charges at the exact same rate I would expect from a USB socket on a computer.
In summary, a great value product, portable & lightweight.
I note some reviews are less than impressed with the capability and they may have thought this was a powered hub, don’t make the same mistake!
###### UPDATE ######
Someone pointed out this review was most helpful and were glad they saw my review
So where you are short of USB ports then this device is exactly what I recommend to connect mouse / keyboard / camera, don’t rely on it for powering hard drives etc. as outlined above.
Small, light, well made
Like almost everything by Anker that I have owned, this is well made, looks good and does exactly what it’s supposed to. I use it on a Microsoft Surface with only one USB port and it gives me the expansion I need. Perfect!
Free's up ports on my PC for Charging
While WFH needed extra ports on my laptop use this Mouse. Headset dongle, Keyboard and PKI key, leaving ports available to charge Phone / Headphones etc. A small light cheap option. Leave all the dongles plugged into it and just connect it to the PC.
Brilliant addition to my MacBook Ai
Portable and efficient; slim compact and looks nice. Good positive connections for USB3; excellent fir use with my MacBook Air (2015) especially since export photos to ssd.
I like to use a trackball mouse so the more usb connections the better. This is a great addition, easily stored; recommended
Makes connecting faster and easie
I bought this so that when connecting my MacBook to an external monitor I don’t have to disconnect and reconnect multiple peripherals (keyboard, webcam, etc) every time I move the MacBook from its desktop cradle. Now I leave everything connected to the Anker and just plug-in its single USB output. Perfectly fit for purpose. Build quality is OK. At least one or the ports supplies power (it’s currently running my USB desk lamp). Haven’t checked speeds but all connections seem good.
Anker quality
I bought this to extend the single USB-A port on my Surface Pro 4 so I could plug in a mouse, keyboard, memory stick etc, works perfectly. Of course there are limitations with this depending on what you plan on doing. If you’re running multiple devices which draw lots of power (external HDD) then your mileage will vary, consider a powered USB extender…
It’s just handy to have one around regardless, chances are you’ll end up needing one for something else in the future.
