High Quality and low price

I was amazed at the quality of this unit, (and I'm a gadget freak). It has solid USB connections. Nothing loose and cheesy about it. I attached it to the face of my tower PC with mounting tape. Looks and functions very solid. I'm an amateur photographer and am constantly disconnecting one-to use it for something else. Having this has saved me a great deal of frustration. I can even leave the cables plugged into the hub and just power off the L.E.D. power switches, so now I don't need to hunt for cables. I'm using it full time now for a month and have had no problems whatsoever. I'm VERY glad I got over some of the "if'y" reviews and bought this.

Got the model with the power adapter capability (YES!) and its great. I love the ability to turn the ports off indivigually. 5/5

A great little USB hub. I love the fact that it has buttons with blue light indicators to turn individual ports on and off. I was hoping to get the one with the power adapter hole and I did get that model! (Model HB-UMLS) BUT...The packaging and info included did not include any information of what kind of power adapter I'd need. The hole for it measures at 5mm but I'll have to look up what exact voltage and amperage I need. In one of my pictures (attached) I show it powering a Razor Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 keyboard and a Logitech G35 surround headset (and a scanner and a second laser mouse - which don't use that much power anyway; mostly data). Plugged my phone in with both of those going and it wouldn't even register as a data device. I disabled the other two ports with those devices in them and my phone came on as a data device and started charging. I guess it can only power one device that needs that much power. It can power more if I get the right adapter.

A great deal for those who need multiple USB ports at once

I am probably saying the same thing that at least 2610 other reviewers have stated: this thing works great for what you need. I am a passionate photographer and my computer only has four front-end USB ports. I need two for the keyboard and mouse alone, another for my phone, and another for my transfer cable from camera to computer. I got tired of having to unplug one device for another and then forgetting to plug the device back in. A blue light comes on when a USB port is active, but a button press by the port can shut that port off. This little gadget is a great deal at the current price.

Nice little standard USB 2.0 4-Port Hub. Good match for Raspberry Pi Zero.

Having used larger US hubs with my Raspberry Pi’s in the past (such as ones from Rosewill), this is a small USB 2.0 hub in comparison. The size is roughly that of a pack of stick gum, which is a good match for the RPi0. Sabrent offers the same exact design hub in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 flavors. As I’m just intending to use this with a RPi0, USB 2.0 will suffice as RPi’s only have onboard USB 2.0 anyway. The switches seem to work well and are a nice feature, especially if the ports are going to be used as a power source. The unit does have a 5V DC power input, if you want to power it. The input accepts male 3.5x1.35mm barrel (positive center) connectors. If powered, each of the four ports can provide up to 1A of power, so a 4A power supply would be a good match. Sabrent offers one, model PS5V4A, however it would be easy to draw power from many other sources. Construction of the device is fair enough. It is built of a hard “rubberis” material. Overall, it is a decent little hub. It should be Plug n’ Play with Windows/MacOS/Linux/etc.

Excellently designed USB hub for use with my XBOX One/laptop! EVEN works as a multi-charger by plugging it into a wall charger!

i purchased this device for my Xbox One because with the stock hardware, its only possible to connect/charge one device at a time (cell phones, controllers, bluetooth devices, etc.). This device has made it possible for me to charge both my controllers simultaneously, have my bluetooth keyboard remain connected 24/7, and still have room to plug a phone or tablet in if I want to import/export data to and from the console. All usb cords fit securely into the hub with no wiggle, play, or danger of them falling/slipping out. I love that each USB port lights up blue when in use and that there's a power switch button for each port so you can easily turn the power off or on to each usb cord when not in use. This is great because you never have to disconnect the usb cords in order to ensure there's no power drainage! Speaking of power, some USB devices require an external power source because the USB power output is insufficient to power the device. The makers of this device designed it so that you can plug a charger into the back of it and provide extra power to all 4 USB ports if necessary! But wait, it gets better! You can even use this as a power splitter to charge 4 devices SIMULTANEOUSLY with just one charger plugged into the back! Genius! But wait, it gets even better! You can actually support up to 127 USB devices by piggy backing multiple USB hubs off of each other! I have no idea why anyone would need to do that, but if you do you can! Crazy! Only real limitation is that none of the ports are 3.0 but if that's something your looking for, Sabrent does sell a model with that feature. I chose this one because I have no real use for USB 3.0 since it's mainly going to be used for charging my controllers and support the bluetooth keyboard. Highly recommended!

Solid option for wireless device dongles and selective ports

I bought this hub to extend the USB capabilities of my new Windows PC. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, and after reading that USB 2.0 works better with 2.4Ghz keyboards (vs. USB 3.0), I chose this hub. The main reason I've given it an excellent rating is that "it just works." I plug it in, everything works, no configuration needed. I like that I can selectively turn on ports, even though I don't really use that feature most of the time. I like that even if I don't want to unplug it entirely, I can turn off the lights for sleeping (my office doubles as our guest room). I like that the cable is long enough to reach my laptop's port even when my laptop is on a stand. As another reviewer mentioned, there isn't great light isolation; particularly when the room is dark, the light from one button bleeds through and partially illuminates its neighbors. This doesn't bother me, but if it'll bother you, it's worth noting.

FABULOUS BARGAIN

First day using this and works fabulous. I will update this review if I notice anything in the future. Price is unbelievably low vs. quality for value. I had another component from Sabrent a few years ago and was very impressed with the quality for the very low price and this motivated me to buy their components again this time. This hub component is listed on the official Sabrent site at $13. plus shipping. Product arrived in a retail presentation package and the carton was secured with seals suggesting that it was probably not a used return. The only other feature to speak about are the on/off buttons. The 4 buttons can be used as 1 or all 4 or any combination of on/off 1 thru 4 and that is convenient. Only thing I can point out that does not show up easily in advertisement is that the hub is about the size of a large pack of 10 stick chewing gum and is lighter in weight than expected so, the lightness of the hub weight will not necessarily allow it to stay lying flat on desk or table without cords flipping it over while using. However, the plugs stay in securely and it will remain connected. One must be alert and observe that moving one of the wires does not cause this hub to turn over and, then, may press against one of the 4 buttons and turn off whatever one is charging. I combined this hub with the " Sabrent 22AWG USB 2.0 extension cord 6 feet (CB-2060) ". This is available from same Amazon seller as hub. Extension cord allows hub to be behind computer and moves the clutter and chaos of wires out of the way. NOTE: Both of these items are available in an identical " USB 3.0 " from Sabrent.

Functions as advertised.

I purchased the Sabrent 4 port Hub with individual power switches because not all of the USB 2.0 ports on my older computer were functioning. It was "plug and play" and although it took a little time on my Windows 7 computer to recognize it, once it did it functions well. My grandaughter is home schooled and needs headphones and a mike as well as a camera for video conferencing. I only have three port that are either occupied or not functioning and this fills the bill. I especially like the lighted buttons that indicate which port is powered and whether the usb it is plugged into is powered when the computer is turned off. The connects seem solid and have had zero problems with how it functions. If your computer is older like mine, checking for newer drivers wouldn't hurt.

Perfect for my needs!

Its a very nice item. Seems to be well made although I have only been using it for a short time. I have a number of games that I play that require a joystick or a controller and then others that only work with the keyboard and mouse. The issue that I always ran into was that many games just won't work, control wise, with a joystick plugged in. Before seeing this product on Amazon I was forced to unplug the items that were causing havoc with game X, then having to plug them back in with game Y. As any of you can attest, the back of any PC is a nightmare of tangled wires and in some cases, games like Elite save control schemes based on the port the stick is plugged into, so not using the same port every time required the game be complete set up again. Now, its just a simple matter of turning the port on or off as needed. My only complaint is the input cord is way too short. I already owned a 6 foot USB extension so it was not a big deal. But the cord that it comes with is even too short to plug it into a port and attach the hub to the top of the tower using a Velcro strip. Improving this device with even a 3 foot cord would be an improvement.
