I cursed it until I discovered it had an on/off button. It is working just fine.

For many years, I have been purchasing 4-port USB Hubs that were a lot less expensive; however, when I plugged the mouse’s Nano into one of these types of Hubs commands from the mouse would all too often go unrecognized. I’ve been told by computer savvy people that these types of Nanos get confused from a laptop cooling fan and other flash drives, etc. being simultaneously plugged into those types of Hubs. I have also found that the less expensive Hubs have a relatively short life span and I don’t know what causes this. The cable on this Xcellon USB-4311B 4-port USB 3.1 Hub is much thicker than the bargain hubs. As the product’s description suggests, it has a 3.1 functionality and many newer computers these days have one or more 3.1 ports. I really did not know how this product would perform; however, now that I’ve been using it for hours already, it has not missed a beat when it comes to my laptop recognizing each and every action that the wireless mouse generates. One tip that I will offer is to make certain that the blue LED light is illuminated when this Xcellon USB 3.1 Hub is in use and if it is not there is an on off button near the opposing end of the Hub’s body. The LED light turns off automatically when the computer shuts down.

We needed for a laptop that has a usb-c output since the laptop only had 2 regular usbs. Works great. Connected a usb wireless mouse and an external hdd.

Most hubs require power but this is bus powered and recognizes all drives that I’ve plugged in. I managed to plug this into a NAS usb port and it recognizes that also – with four drives plugged in.

My desktop system is a MAC Mini and 27 monitor. With external CD, tiny 1TB drive, Card reader, printer, and backup drive, I ran out of ports. 4 of those could use USB3, so this came in very handy and an inexpensive solution.

my Apple wireless mouse got all jumpy and out of control when I plug this in. Had to unplug it. Now what, I don’t know? It works. I would not recommend unless I figured a workaround. Why would a hard wired device interfere with a wireless device?

I sometimes get cheap when it comes to purchasing dongles. Not anymore after having used this brand. I would no doubt go for it again. First, in terms of construction, the quality of this thing is incredible: you can feel where your money went, and be happy about it. Then there is the quality of the internals: speed rates are as advertised, you can plug cameras for streaming 4K, ssds for editing multiple streams of 4K prores raw video, mics, and everything will work just fine. The cable that is coming with this device is long enough as for you to extend it below your desk and hide all of your connections there, while having a nice neat single cable from there to your laptop. Beautiful.

I bought this hub to hook up four external hard drives at once. I hooked everything up the first time and it worked great. That is, until I ejected a drive. I went through the normal procedure of ejecting the drive from my mac, but when I unplugged the drive from the hub, all of my drives on the hub were disconnected from the mac. I got three warnings that the disks had been improperly ejected, even though they were all still very much connected. This problem persists, so I am unable to swap out drives mid-stream, so to speak. This is limiting and unnecessary. The build quality seems fine, and as long as I don’t try to swap out drives one at a time, it does its job admirably. But that ejecting problem is a deal breaker.

This is a must have for anyone looking to add USB ports to their MacBook Pro. I used this as a stopgap measure before a hub with more versatility arrived, but it was exactly what I needed, arrived quickly, and was very reasonable in cost.

Neat Gadget. Makes accessing multiple USB drives a snap

Since I use a gaming laptop without a dvd player/recorder for video editing and recording, this external 4 port usb adapter makes it super for adding the dvd player. My laptop ports are already in use for other devices and gadgets. The expansion with added usb ports is very helpful.
