Gman109 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I can't find the thread I'd read here about USB hubs, so I'll just post and ask. What is the best USB hub that everyone uses/recommends for VR headsets and other controllers again? My D link ones I've used for a few years need replacement toute suite. Thanks in advance.

fitness88 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I use a 4 input Orico with individual on/off blue light indicator buttons. I plug it into my 1000ma USB 3.x using my Rift, j-stick, throttle and multi-purpose controller...couldn't be happier! As it is not self-powered, you will need to use a powered USB port as mentioned. Very nice not to have to do plug-in/plug-out...simply press a button. Edited September 25, 2020 by fitness88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcoat22 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I had repeated issues with a 3.0 hub, but recently bought a 3.1 powered hub and all of the issues went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburne Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I use a powered RSHTECH USB 3 Hub - 4 port - each port has individual on/off buttons. I plug my Rift S USB in it and when not in use just switch that port off. Powered meaning it has an A/C adapter to plug in.

Gman109 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 buy the reverb G2, it takes care of its own power supply... as it should be. It's not just for the G2 (I have 2 pre ordered), I have typically 2 Virpil/VKB sticks per gaming station along with one of my Virpil throttles and pedals, on top of the usual kb/mouse/etc/etc things. Aurelius, no, I don't have any new PMs in my box, I"ll go check through some old ones, sometimes the youngster units get into my main game station and check things they aren't supposed to. Thanks!

wormeaten Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 BTW guys G2 is USB 3.1 gen1. Have that in mind where you will plugged in your G2. You do not need to have type C on your MBO. HP including in box Type C to A connector. So just be sure your MBO got 3.1 gen1 USB. 3.2 gen2 will work as well but older standards could have issues.

stormrider Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Before you get an USB hub, check on your motherboard if you have any available USB port. If so, you can get a USB backplate connected directly to the motherboard. Banned by cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
