Hiya!

I am slowly transitioning to a wireless desktop setup and I am looking for a simple and suitable usb hub which can accommodate, at least, a wireless mouse and keyboard.

I am having trouble finding what I am looking for, so here I am hoping that you guys/gals can help me.

Why I think I need a hub; I want to keep the wireless dongles as far away from the pc/other devices and other cables to limit the distance and interference. The back usb slots are quite full with cables for an audio stack, gamepad, gamecontroller stream deck and (sometimes) a webcam. I am also rocking a Fractal Torrent case, which has deep incline to where the back slots are, making a clear “line of sight” from dongle to device impossible.

What I would like is a simple, minimal hub with just a couple of usb3.0 ports and nothing else and with high data transfer speed, as I figure that would be most beneficial for two input devices.

I can only find either articles about wireless devices and hubs or hubs with also hdmi/dp, Ethernet, SD card slots etc.

Does anyone have a recommendation or advice?

Thanks in advance!

    I found a 4-in-1 usb hub from Anker with the warning that wireless devices may not function properly, so thats what made me think it might be an issue.

    The razer deatheradder v2 x hyperspeed I use does have some issues when the dongle is in the back of the pc though, but that might just be a “Razer” thing…

    Never heard of the usb 2.0 thing though, thanks for the info!
