Pros & Cons
Pros
The finish of the product is smooth and ergonomic. The wire is rubbery, a sign of good quality. Very compact and so good for travelling.
Solid non powered usb hub. Ideal for connecting keyboard, mouse, headset etc. Needed to connect mouse, keyboard and a desk lamp to my work laptop.
Cons
Not even heavy enough to knock out a pigeon. Ah well - nevermind. Save yourself grief and buy a powered hub.
Laptop plays a sound that demonstrates a device has been unplugged before reconnecting momrntarily. Keyboard, camera and separate mic keep cutting out. Slightest of touch and it disconnects. Very unexpected malfunctioning from this product.
Highlights
Quality
Simple plug and play, seems robust, and has thus far allowed me to use two memory sticks, a usb mouse and an external hard drive.
Great product plug and go - allows me to use printer mouse fan and keyboard board despite having one usb on laptop
Being unpowered means that the hub may not work with devices requiring more than one amp of power and cannot be used for charging.

Works exactly as intended and arrived quickly.
Very useful - should have got it sooner!

The usb cable is quite short and as such depending on how the pc is positioned may result in the hub not sitting flat
