Is there a USB hub alternative??
I aimed to be finished for the weekend ready for my week away but after reading a few threads I noticed a lot of people saying there hubs were not recognising keyboards?
Thought I better check mine and I have the same problem
Anyway does anyone have any ideas why so many are not working is it purely a compatibility issue or could it be they need more power? I wondered if it was wired direct to the power boost, would this help or am I wasting my time?
I have ordered one recommended off the wiki but that won't turn up for a few weeks so looks like I'm not going to have my gameboy for my hols unless someone has any ideas???

I'm wondering are people using a wired keyboard or a wireless one? I'm wondering if a wireless keyboard might be more compatible.

Re: Is there a USB hub alternative??
I thinks the problem is more specific. A lot of USB hubs do work in general (e.g. WLAN Dongle or USB Stick), but as soon as a wired keyboard is connected, this device won't. Are all of the hubs mentioned in the wiki confirmed to work with wired keyboards?Fleder wrote:As always, the Wiki is your friend:

Re: Is there a USB hub alternative??
Maybe it's dependent on the OS, Retropi or RecalBox. Is anyone one having problems using one of these 2?

Re: Is there a USB hub alternative??
Which one do you have? It would be nice to maybe get a list of known working wired/wireless keyboards and mice so people can get something compatible. You know how about a bluetooth module? and a bluetooth keyboard?
