Best USB hub to buy?
Best USB hub to buy?
So, with so many USB hubs out there, which hubs work/are the best? Please only include ones that can ship to the US.
Re: Best USB hub to buy?
I had quite some difficulty sourcing a cheap and small 4 port USB hub. The issue is that the Raspberry Pi Zero seems to be quite picky when it comes to USB hubs. It detects the hubs I got earlier fine but as soon as you connect a keyboard via the hub it just does not show up at all (no output in dmesg or lsusb). However when connecting the same hub to my laptop it worked fine. I found a hub based upon the FE1.1s USB hub IC by Terminus Technology Inc that works really well and does not have the keyboard issue. I removed all the USB plugs on the hub to save space and placed one of these connectors in the ext. connector port in the case.
This is the one I used:

Same as above, my hubs I thought worked didn't work with a keyboard, I also bought the above hub in wiki due to price and it works fine!
