Greater than one weekI bought this hub less than a year ago. I was plugging in a USB plug into one of ports and noticed one of the LEDs was off so i thought the switch was turned off. Turns out it was a bad LED. The port still works. I use the hub with a HDMI to USB adapters and i need to turn the port off when not in use because they stay warm even when the mirrorless camera connected to it is off. So seeing the status of the hub ports is needed for other devices as well. I contacted the seller and they sent me a brand new one. Thank you very much for the great customer service! As for the hub itself, it works with no issues other than one led not working. I have one at work that still going strong as well. I like that it is small and not bulky.

> 3 dayIve had this unit for 9 months now, so my review is for normal use daily with minimal on and off cycles with the buttons, but used every one in a while. When needing a lot more ports, mainly some I could turn on and off, I picked this one up along with its USB3 cousin. Both units worked great and had no issues. The other reviews are right and charging from this is not ideal without the charging power cord, but its not meant as a charger without that and USB 2.0 is generally limited in its power output by its standard, that being 500ma at 5v. With the power adapter, all 4 can pull 500ma without issue. After testing that, this particular hub was set to running my Keyboard, Mouse, and adapter for a controller. Works exactly as Id expect it to. Now as a note, a big reason for the 5 stars is the Sabrent customer service. I had one of the buttons go out, it just wouldnt stay activated anymore. This one was a rarely used button for the controller, but it did eventually fail. After reaching out, they had a new one in my hands in 2 days. They checked in, kept in touch throughout, checked in again after it was marked received to make sure it worked. Absolutely stellar as far as customer service goes. As far as the unit goes, it would be a 4 star unit, because of the failure and because its clearly built to the $ with plastics being the most prominent thing.

> 3 dayMy new laptop has only two usb ports so it was a constant struggle to use a mouse, camera and headphones together. This hub works fine when I use it for my mouse and headphones, but the camera begins to flicker when I have headphones plugged in as well. To be fair it was problem with my old hub as well.

> 3 dayVery helpful little gadget. The on/off switch is a very nice touch and useful for things like completely turning off your camera when not in use. The chord itself is short: I used it with my laptop so it wasnt really a problem but I can see it being a problem for desktop computers (trying to connect it to the back ports would be uncomfortable).

> 3 dayAs a USB switching device, this works great. I use three of the ports: one for speakers, one for camera, and one for microphone. That way, I can be sure that my work PC stays out of my home environment, except when Ive got a call or need to hear something from the speakers. (The laptop microphone is a bit trickier to disable, but were getting there.) There are two problems, though: 1) The lights have already started fading, so its tough to tell which ports are actually on 2) The lights are all the same color. This switch would be SO much more useful if each port were a different color. It amazes me how many pointless LED controls I have for my desktop components that I cant even see, but setting colors for something useful seems to be a major challenge.

Greater than one weekI really like this data hub and it works for my personal needs, im very satisfied. I have a sound bar, mouse and external drive plugged in and it works awesome.. Bonus, you can tell whats on by the blue lights & you can turn off what you dont need by pressing that button.. Anyways, no complaints for this product or the pricing.. Thanks

> 3 dayThis USB hub has worked great until a bit over a week ago. Whenever I share my screen in any application, all of the USB connections connected to this stop working every few seconds. Which, as you could probably assume, is very annoying.
