Customer Reviews

Great design
This is a definite upgrade from my old USB hub. The old one was lighter and moved around on my desk more. This is a very sturdy design that stays in place. It is very sleek and looks very nice since I have a very dark brown desk. It is the perfect combination of functionality and style.

Totally Necessary
I've had this hub for about 3 months now, and it's made my computing so much more convenient. Switching between laptops is a breeze - I have one USB port to disconnect to instantly use my keyboard, mouse, etc. on either PC or Mac in one step.

The Almost Perfect Hub
This is a great USB Hub. It works great. Like the other reviewers, the blue light can be annoying, but if you position the hub nicely, it can add a nice glow to a dark room. It's great for traveling because you don't need to use the power adapter constantly, but when you're at home, I suggest using the power adapter as it will make the USB Hub have faster connection speeds (if you use the Hub to play Rock Band, the power adapter is a must). If you have an iPod and are using this Hub to connect it, use the power adapter as the computer might not supply enough power to the Hub to charge your iPod. A lot of my friends who needed a USB Hub bought this Hub at my suggestion and they love it too.

It's small and portable. Size might be an issue for those with large USB peripherals. On one side, there is 3 USB Ports which have ample room for whatever you need to connect, on the other side, there's 4 USB Ports which have limited space.

The dock for the Hub isn't really needed. If you do decide to mount the dock somewhere, be careful since the USB Hub slides out of it quite easily. If you don't need to grab it and go from the dock to work (or something), then some double-sided tape will help the Hub stick in place.
