  • You’ll want to search online for a USB hub and find one in your price range with the features you want. I use Newegg for that sort of thing, and I like the Orico brand for it. I don’t have a specific recommendation because I don’t think there is much benefit from one to another.

    I will also say that most wireless peripherals are USB 2.0 speeds, so a 3.0 hub would not provide much benefit to them. That said, having more bus speed available should allow for more devices on the hub without throttling each other.

    The thing I find more important is an external power source if you’re connecting many devices. I run my mouse, keyboard, webcam, microphone, Bluetooth adapter, controller dongle, and streamdeck all through a hub mounted under the desk.

    In much the way I am aware of the Windows store: I avoid it and work to get the software directly from the source. I regularly run into the issue of software not being there or being of unknown version.

    Perhaps that is some bias from Windows following me over.

    I’m literally trying to get into Linux and one of the first things was installing software, which involves copying and running random bits of code from whatever website has the highest search result. I would say a lot of software is running code you have no idea what it does.

    Every station I have gone to with them has had the mute button labeled or at least functional. If they didn’t, I would never return.

    The only time they are useful is when they offer a coupon for something I was already going to buy, but that happens so infrequently I’d rather have my attention back.
