I had to switch to exclusively laptops at work. I missed my full-sized keyboard, mouse and dedicated printer. With this hub I need to make (or remove) only 1 connection to have all the comforts of a desktop and the portability of a laptop. Several of my friends at work were in the same situation, and for under five bucks, their problems were also solved.

            Comments about Iogear 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub:

            Works like you would expect a hub to work but there is one design flaw. The cable coming out of the male USB connector is located on the side. Once installed, it therefore blocks the neighboring female USB port on the computer. I got around the issue using a USB extension but it would have been better if the wire came out the back of the male connector instead of the side.

              I couldn't get someone to ship me a box of dirt for as cheap as this USB hub is. It works great with my Asus Zenbook, which only has 2 USB ports, and is currently connecting and powering a midi keyboard, midi control surface, a wireless mouse and an external soundcard. If you need additional USB connections, get this. Nuff said!

                I was running out of USB ports on my XP computer so I decided to buy a hub. I didn't need anything fancy and this fits the bill perfectly. The port-in has a little slack so your USB port doesn't have to be a perfect size and it doesn't require any sort of external power. For a cheap little hub I recommend this.

                    My computer has only 4 USB ports and I needed at least 2 extra for my gadgets and this little baby was just what I needed. It's about the size of a disposable lighter, has I power light and takes up no space. A great buy for under $7 bucks!

                      I thought I could use this hub so I didn't have to constantly rotate the external items I wanted to use, i.e. wireless mouse and keyboard, external drive, sound sticks, iPhone, etc. but the more you have plugged in it slows to a halt. My understanding from talking to the helpful B&H staff after I went back to return it and possibly upgrade is that there is no upgrade so although inexpensive it wasn't worth it to me. Thanks.

                      I have more devices than USB slots, so I bought this product.
                      It's cheaply made but works and does what it's suppose to do.
                      It's a little weird that the connecting wire is wrapped with foil tape.
                      Looks like a DIY repair, but who cares for the price. Maybe I'll wrap the foil with black tape, then I won't notice it. Ha !

                            I use this to connect my printer and scanner. Works fine, and the price is right.

                            My only complaint is about the connecting cable. It makes for awkward placement in the USB port - the wire should be attached to the back of the connector, not the side.

                            Its only down side is the piece that connects to the computer poorly design and cable doesn't extend far enough. It seems like the cable is going to break.

                              i needed this to use with a keyboard and mouse. It's cheap and does its job. What more do you want?

                                  This is a perfect little hub--just what I needed. Amazingly affordable, and there were no shipping fees! I don't know how these guys can make money! It arrived within a couple of days and solved my lack of USB problem! Thank you!

                                  I wanted to use this to connect both my external drives for backup purposes, but this turned out to be something the backup software couldn't deal with. Would be good for multiple devices that are independently used.

                                    I use this for my DJ/Karaoke business. I use USB ports up with audio, video, and two hard drives. This baby gives you four ports for the use of one on the computer. And the price is very reasonable. The small hookup cable is short, but folds neatly inside the unit for storing or travel. No need to run outside power as it takes power from the computer.
