So it is clear that the best method is to plug each high-tech gaming peripherals to its individual USB ports.

For me I use in total of 9 - 10 USB components, but because laptops are lack of USB ports, laptop users need a USB multi hub.

There is still no indication of which USB multi hub is the best. Factors from~~~

  • USB 2.0 (Black)
  • USB 3.0 (Blue)

  • USB 3.1 (Yellow, Red)
  • All combined
  • Runs via external power source or not

Also when running peripherals on multi hub, we can assume there will be some point that the devices and its features will dysfunction. Temporary fix is to reset the multi hub.

I have upgraded my motherboard, it still show that somethings just do not work 100%, maybe due to the reasons I have mentioned.

Let us face the facts; we are using our devices on Windows and other user interface OSs. How the OS handle the traffic of data through ports, motherboard, CPU is difficult to understand. This is something which individuals like us do not have control of. Unless you design your PC rig from scratch in which you have full control of. Just like Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak did.

Also when OS and hardware developer release new updates from drivers to user interfaces. Whether the updates will play a significant role of "improvement" is uncertain. Once again this is something which individuals like us do not have control of. Unless you design the software from scratch that literally works the way you want it to.

If RAZER can focus on their HyperSpeed wireless technology, then we can free up few USBs and possibly make the usb multi hubs redundant. Then again whether HyperSpeed wireless tech will face data bottlenecks and peripheral dysfunctions is something which RAZER must consider as a priority.

In the end, it is just up to all of us to try things out by experimenting what works and what does not. Whether we can tolerate minor faults, simple troubleshooting ways and other alternatives.
usb hub 3.0 is doing more better smooth expirience. with 2.0 sometimes when ur system running a lot of background it wont detect the device feels like on and off.....
