I have to use with left hand because the wireless doesn't reach 30 inches from tower over to my right hand. Very inconvenient. Will be looking for a different model with better range of wireless.

This does okay if you're connecting a mouse or flash drive. It does not work with the small portable 2.5" external hard disks (western digital nor seagate freeagent), even with the "Y cable" there is not enough juice to power the drive. I'm returning it for a refund

Wonderful product I'm still so glad I saw this. I do a lot of on call tech work anything from full system restores to the "my computer is acting funny" so I have thumb drives with different programs for different jobs card readers USB to USB data links USB WiFi. I just couldn't see lugging around a bulky USB hub to all of these jobs so I could have access to all of my tools at once. Anyway I saw it in the store bought it took it back to the office grabbed some super glue and presto 4 extra USB ports mounted securely to my laptop. Bottom line I would recommend this little hub to friends clients enemies and anyone who is looking for more USB connectivity without losing a lot of space.
