Although USB hubs are not usually anything sexy, this one gets the job done and looks pretty good doing it. The color fits in with the desk, it's not too big so doesn't get into my way.The cord is the right length for my use, the ports all work just fine and the USB 3.0 speeds seem to be right up there (at least as fast as my Lenovo will push them, which is real fast).The port was a great place to stick the keyboard receiver, extended range Bluetooth dongle (big antenna) and another accessory that I always had plugged in. For the occasional USB stick (to transfer files) this was the perfect place to do it, rather than having to find the computer under the desk each time.I've had this running, on a 24 hour business computer, nonstop for months now and everything is still working as expected. I really can't ask for anything more.
