Cons: -really, really cheaply made-feels like it may break easily (but has not yet)-LED is really annoying
Pros: -_tiny_-includes built-in USB cable-4 ports Comment:
It cost only $5, and it has 4 USB ports. What can I say? The only other place you can get a $5 4-port USB is from those Chinese online retailers who generally take 3-4 weeks to deliver and also can't guarantee you're even getting the genuine product.This little thing gives my 2-port USB compact notebook an extra 3 ports, more than doubling what I had. On top of that it's very compact and comes with its own cable (which stows away nicely). Easy to tote around, and also a great mini phone charging station for those weekend trips with friends (when paired with a AC-USB 3A wall wart).Recently bought a 2nd unit during boxing day sale. This one was DOA, but successfully RMA'd in-store shortly after.For the price, you almost can't go wrong. |

Cons: doesn't work long
Pros: cheap, small Comment:
worked ok at first. After using one for maybe 2 months, it keeps stopping, i only have a keyboard and a mouse plugged in, and every 10 minutes or so, it does as if i unplugged them. Needs to be pulled off, then plugged in again, very frustrating when using a usb memory stick, even more when its in the middle of a copy and it says it was not removed correctly. |

Cons: Not good for charging phones etc.
Pros: Cheap, good hub for unpowered devices Comment:
Price matched to $4. Use it to connect my power external hard drives, printers, and mouse. Works great for those. Doesn't work great for charging Blackberries and the like though. |

Cons: -gaming mice and keyboards don't get enough power (power adapter port included, but no adapter)
Pros: -cheap-does what its supposed to do Comment:
Needed more ports on my laptop as i use multiple external hdds. It does not seem to provide enough power on its own to power gaming mice and keyboard, however it does come with a power adapter port so those that are desperate can use a power adatper |

Cons: Cable is Fragile, be careful
Pros: Blue Led (not very noticeable though)Build qualityUsefulWorks WellSmall footprintLong Cable Comment:
Works without issues, usb ports are well placed and intelligently spaced with each other giving you the opportunity to plug in a bulky usb key without eating the other usb port sitting next to it.If you're looking for a multi-usb hub, this is the only you're most likely to like the most. |

Cons:
-none really
Pros: -price-4 more ports!-wire length Comment:
I wanted one for my new ps3 slim, since it only has 2 usb ports. That bugged me so I bought one of these and it works fine, no power supply needed though it does have a hole for an adapter it seems. got it for 6$, good product. |

Cons:
It's a cheap USB hub
Pros: It's a cheap USB hubCompact Comment:
A cheap, light USB hub. Hub is encased in clear plastic, with one or two blue LEDs inside that shine through. Compact with a groove built into the bottom of it to hide the USB dongle when in storage. Doesn't need an external power source, but does have a port for a power adapter. Works fine, no complaints. |

Cons: cord length - either too long or too short
Pros: cheeepfunctional Comment:
Great price on sale. No problems handling keyboard and mouse, recognize no problem by XP. Port placement is a little awkward, but the cable is the odd part. Not quite long enough to reach from ground to desk, and long enough to present annoying loops.But I would buy it again anyway. |

Cons: none. Perhaps the 12" cord might be but seems long enough for most uses.
Pros: compact, connections on 3 sides (2, 1, 1 & then cord), price Comment:
compact with 2 connection on one side, then 1, then 1. blue light is not too bright to be annoying but handy for plugging in, price (especially when on sale), works well. |

Cons: 12" cord (but it's in the descripition) but can be expandable (Separate cost of cable of A/B cable of course). This is not an issue for me, actually I wanted this size!This is passive meaning no external power hookup so if you have a device that needs more juice..be careful.Blue subdued LED lights inside the unit...if ya like that kind of thing...I'm not fussy.
Pros: Price, 4 ports, Small Size. Comment:
Since each port is separate on each side this is perfect for larger USB devices since some ports that have ports all on one side can hinder the use of a port beside it.It's fast, simple and 10 bucks! Woot! This review was modfied by poster @ 11-28-09 12:01 AM |

Cons: none
Pros: Have wireless keyboard, ir reciever, hdd, and mp3 player connected without problems. cheap and small. Comment:
It has an extremely short cord. It's a pro for me, seeing as how it has to be plugged into a ten foot extension anyway(my workstation is less cluttered this way). It may be a con for someone plugging into the back of a desktop though. |
