Hooked up a Kensington wireless mouse and a logitech quickcam, and the mouse immediately froze up. Each device works fine by itself on other USB ports, but not on this hub. I'm taking it back.

 
great deal for powered hub for PS3
By ps3fan from stamford,ct on 2/10/2008
Pros:
Durable construction, Highly Compatible, Reliable
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use it to expand a Playstation 3 for Rock Band.

Most inexpensive usb hubs aren't powered, but depend on the usb connector back to the source. But that's only 500mA, at best. For something like Rock Band, you need 200-400mA for EACH output.

This hub works great.

An Utter Piece of Trash
By Returning it to the Store from AL on 1/27/2008
Cons:
Unreliable, Weak Connection Points
Best Uses:
Paperweight
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The problem started when I noticed a mouse hooked to the device was no longer working. Unplugging it and plugging it back in fixed the problem . . . for a little while. Alternating different USB devices through the ports, they all had the same issue. The device was working properly, but the hub was not transferring the signals to the computer.

If you purchase this product, you will be disappointed.

Does not work! I have build PC computers for years and I did everything I could to troubleshoot why it did not function. This item is useless.

Plugged it in and it worked perfectly. It immediately solved my problem with a video device that required too much power. No issues whatsoever.

Horrible for Intel-Based ...
By Mark TVerified Reviewer from Madbury on 4/17/2007

Horrible for Intel-Based MACs. Freezes up my USB and devices attached are not seen by my new iMAC. Other hubs don't give me the hassle this thing has and it is going back. I do not recommend this product.
