Ya simple solution: don't buy no-name chinesium crap regardless of the storefront and you won't be disappointed

Search for a desk mounted USB hub. They're all cheap junk and none are to spec. I looked at well over 200 listings and most were white label.

So it like, screws to your desk? I too am in search of a quality high powered fast data transfer USB hub that does not cost a kidney, and have not had any luck yet

And if you go to Best Buy, staples, Walmart, target… what is different? I’m actually close to a microcenter and they’re also no different.

Where do you go for a desk mounted USB hub?

Best buy had one that met the USB 3.1 spec
