grant575 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I have now set up my system with every peripheral known to man. The thing is I have no more usb ports and have to drop one peripheral. Can anyone suggest a good USB hub, I will list my set up below. Also any suggestions on what I should not run through it would be appreciated. Trackir 5 Logitech g930 headset Cyborg RT 9 mouse Thrustmaster Warthog joy/throttle (2 inputs obviously) Its run off an ASUS G53 laptop. Cheers.
Cali Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Go to amazon.com and type in powered USB hubs, make sure it's powered. Look at the ones with the most and best reviews. I got mine there and it has been working great for me for about 8-9 months. The only thing I wish I would of did was get one with 7-8 ports instead of 4! Now I have to buy another one. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
Migo Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K33935US-PocketHub-4-Port-USB/dp/B002O0KRHA/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1313054147&sr=8-13 You can find it cheaper in other pc shops.
TulsA-10 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I'm bias to internal pci or pcie USB pcbs... I have 4 internal 4 port USB boards in my x-plane server.. Lots of go flight modules.

Watch for the fake powered ones. It must have a power brick (good). Some say powered and draw the juice via the USB (bad). Hey Cali, ya never have enough. I keep adding stuff. I use 20 USB ports (on 3x 7 port hubs) for my sim rig and I'm about to use 4 more for my MFD TFT screens in BMS.:helpsmilie: I'm bias to internal pci or pcie USB pcbs...

My TM stuff turns on and off unless on the board USB ports (or pcie ports). Edited September 8, 2011 by Icarus2
Ein Name wie kein Name Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I use a Belkin 7 Port USB 2.0 hub without using the separate power supply. It works flawlessly with the following peripherals connected: Sennheiser PC133D 2 Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs USB Mouse USB Keyboard TrackClip Pro Combat Rudders Bear @ 33rd Airbase Wing iMac i7 4x3.4 GHz | 8GB | HD 6970M w/2 GB GDDR5 | 256 GB SSD | TM Warthog | TM Cougar MFD (mounted on 21" screen) | Sennheiser PC-133D | Razer Imperator | TrackIR 5 | Windows 7 Home Pro 64bit
