4 Port USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 Hub w/GL3510 Chipset Travel Series

Good basic hub. Small, doesn’t take up much room, so perfect for travel or remote work. It would be nice to have a USB-C on it somewhere. This works really well as a dock for USB memory sticks and other accessories like wireless dongles.

Picked this up for my Raspberry PI 500, and it works wonderfully. It bumps up the default number of USB ports from 2 to 5 which is really handy when I need them, and its rather portable. Though I wouldn't complain if it had a version with a shorter cord.

This is a desktop USB hub designed to extend and multiply ports from any USB-A device to provide additional capacity in the form of four new ports: two on the top and two on the side. For the right application, this could be okay, but it disappointed me in a number of ways:- The cord that's integrated is very short - just 50cm (about 20 inches) long. It's barely long enough to reach from a desktop docking station to the center of your desk, and certainly isn't enough to reach to a computer tucked behind a monitor or on the floor. That's frustrating because my goal was to extend my computer's ports to my desktop so i didn't have to crawl around on the floor.- The cord is integrated and not replaceable, so you can't swap it out for a different length. But it's also super bulky, so this wouldn't make a great travel companion.- The hub is unpowered, so you're limited by default to devices that use a tiny amount of power like USB keys and mouse dongles. There is a Micro USB port on the back for adding more power, but this connection is outdated and requires a second cable to run alongside the first.- The hub is unweighted, so it likes to flip up while in use because the cable is rigid and tends to torque the hub. Something to help keep this down - a metal weight in the bottom of the hub, or some mounting holes or adhesive, would have been very welcome.- The gearmo logo is very prominent on the top, detracting from the aesthetics for something you'll theoretically be looking at all day every day.- The connection on the end is USB-A and not USB-C, so it's not a good companion for most laptops.This is a well-intentioned product and there's nothing wrong with it functionally or manufacturing quality wise - if a lightweight hub with a 20" fixed cable terminating in a USB-A port meets your needs, this is a good one. But if your goal is like mine was - to extend a desktop's ports so you have a convenient spot to plug in a USB key without fumbling behind your monitor - there are some practical considerations that make this less than ideal for the task.

Always nice to have extra USB connections especially with all the smart devices these days. This USB expansion connects directly to an existing USB port and allows you 4 total ports for devices such as mouse, chargers, or other USB compatible devices. I didn't notice any drop in speed or performance, the device works well and was an easy improvement to my laptop which only has 2 ports.

Works as intended. I attached this to the base of my monitor for plugging controllers into my RPi emulator PC. I can use all the ports at the same time without having to searching for an open port. As others have said the top ports are a tad tight but I keep my keyboard in there most of the time anyway. Haven't had an issues yet but will update about durability if I have any issues.

Quickly give your device additional ports with the option to add power. No software drivers necessary. The speed of its performance is acceptable. Nice length. Worth it. Great design.

With the fact that I don't have much USB space on my laptop, I needed a solution and this was it. With this usb hub I'm able to use a mouse, keyboard, wireless headphones (dongle adapter), USB webcam all in one main usb port to keep other usb ports on my laptop open to use things like my phone (file transfer) thumb drives and external hard drive or dvd/br players. The quality feels a tad cheap, but it's been working perfectly with no power issues (disconnects / reconnects) at all. It's super easy to use. Although the cord isn't the longest, it's still quite usable.

All in all, this has been a great option for me. I can also quickly plug/unplug this hub with easy and keep my other device adapters plugged into it while I'm on the go. I totally love it and it's now used all the time!

Any port in a storm, used too have a whole different meaning before computers came along, especially with the advent of USB devices. I have a variety of hubs for my desktop computer, and now unfortunately I find myself needing more and more ports when I am away from my desktop. This 4 port USB-A mini hub is really a godsend when I travel. I plug in my mouse dongle, SSD portable drive, my SD card adapter and other devices I need from time to time. You would think they would find a way to load up laptops with a plethora of USB A & C ports to help us out,, but in the mean time, hubs like this save the day.

New computer. What the hay? There are only 2 USB ports. People, not everything is wifi. This has saved my sanity so many times. It's small, inexpensive and lightweight, so if I need to I can toss it in with my laptop and there I go. Sometimes you just need more than 2 ports and this fixes the problem in an easy way.

This USB hub was ready to go right out of the box. I use it for the dongles for all of my wireless devices - keyboard, mouse, headset, etc. Everything has worked great since I connected them through the hub, which only took a couple of minutes. The hub is handy and accessible, right next to a monitor, so it's easy to use when I want to swap in a new device.
