Pros & Cons
Pros
W wedge shape makes it easy to plug in peripherals. Protects usb ports from the strain of continual plugging and unplugging. Allows you to move large files speedily between hard drives.
From a reputable brand known for its quality. Prompt response. Will definitely choose these guys above competitors.
Includes velcro attachment to affix the hub to your desk. It is not bulky. Brings my bluetooth usb out infront of the screen where it gets better signal. Tuck it behind and between my laptop and ssd.
On day one of possessing it, i am inclined to say it's the best i've ever had. Build construction is also very good.
Cons
Cable too short as well,needs to be at least 1 metre. Kind of defeats the purpose of an extender if you have to reach under the desk to use it. Unclear if anker deem insertion and removal force of over a kilo to be appropriate.
No after sale back-up or communication at all. Ended up just dumping product and putting down experience. Terrible service. Feel very let down.
