SABRENT USB hub 2.0, 4 port USB adapter Station, rotatable 90°/180° USB Splitter multiple extension, multiport hubs for data transfer, PS5, gaming PC, laptop, keyboard, MacBook, and more (HB-UMN4)

Perfect extension, so to speak
I have a computer that only has one USB port at the front. I should explain, I like to keep that port free to plug in other devices, so I had to put the wireless connector for my keyboard and mouse at the back of the computer tower, which has caused all manner of bad behaviour from the keyboard and sometimes the mouse too (as they are on the same dongle). To keep my sanity and for the safety of the keyboard, the wireless dongle would need to be placed at the front of the desktop tower. This lead to Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Rotatable Hub [90°/180° Degree Rotatable] (HB-UMN4) purchase, and what a choice I made. Delivered the next day I was able to resolve my keyboard issue and have room to plug in my phone, camera and even a USB memory device. Perfect doesn’t describe it, for me this is a very useful and worthwhile addition to my PC. It rotates to three fixed positions, up down and to the left side. Once plugged in you should be sure to hold the device when plugging USB appliances into the ports available. I am genuinely delighted with this brilliant little device! I’ve attached two images showing it in different positions. I think it speaks volumes that I used it to plug in my camera to upload!

Functional and light weight
Thankfully the days of devices all requiring a different connection / cable are being left behind; yet I seem to find myself in a place where just about everything is screaming out for ‘yet another’ USB connection (yes, I know, ‘First World Problems’) All my machines (albeit home desktop, laptop, etc.) have a selection of USB ports, but there’s never enough available, unless I’m prepared to swap back and forth; and it was with this in mind that the ‘Sabrent Mini 3-Port USB 3.0 Rotating Hub’ caught my eye.Yes, the name “Sabrent Mini 3-Port USB 3.0 Rotating Hub’ doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but it certainly does do exactly what it says on the tin.First, it is very light, with the main body actually turning out (what looks to be) a coated plastic, rather than alloy / aluminium (I say this, as the one I’ve received has a scratch right down one side). It might not be what I expected, but it’s actually advantageous to have something that’s very light, when it could end up in a backpack and being carried around.The ‘Source’ USB connection (the one that’ll connect the hub to a main device or outlet) does allow for click-free rotation through 180 degrees. Very handy, as unlike USB-C, I’ve found that not all the ports on my devices are orientated in the most convenient way. With the main USB socket offset to one end, this means that I can swing the 3-port hub out of the way, allowing me better access.The blue (LED) illuminates immediately when plugged into a powered source (nice simple indication that it’s working) and was ‘auto detected’ as a hub device, with no need for drivers (or updates). It’s worth noting that the LED’s actually quite bright, enough to light up the nearest USB port on the hub.All connections on the hub checked out, being nice and neat, secure and providing stable data transfer (at USB 3.0) rates to the devices that I connected (obviously, I already knew that the source was USB 3.0).My only concern is the build quality, and possible longevity, of the rotating connector. I’ve got this orientated, so that there’s some support against the case, but I’ve fortunate that there’s a ‘flap’ on my machine that allows for this. Given the plastic construction, and the way in which the source socket has to protrude, I’ll need to wait and see just how well it stands up to regular use and movement.So far though, a nice simple, in-expensive, solution, that meets my needs; offering me the functionality / expansion that I need, for both my Win/PC and Apple/iOS devices.

Wobbly fit, but compact and functional.
The item was exactly as it appears in the product illustration, its a 1:4 port hub with a rotatable 180′ connector rather than a wired lead.Bought for the PS3 to convert 1 port to 4 ports, so we can leave all the skylanders/infinity portals, memory sticks etc plugged rather than plugging and unplugging them all the time.Works OK – but, as other reviewers have noted, its a very wobbly fit into the PS3s usb socket. Reliable so far, but then again all the things plugged into it are quite stationary, not sure how reliable it would be for a mouse or wired controller where there would be a lot of movement in the connecting lead.Its so wobbly, I tried it in the XB360, the laptop PC and the desktop PC and its wobbly in all of them, so its not just a PS3 issue.

Rubbish. Hung laptop when inserted 2 x USB drives
absolutely total rubbish. as soon as I put this in the laptop it HUNG the laptop after putting 2 x usb drives in i wanted to copy. took it out everything fine. dont know whether it was the build quality but this was absolutely rubbish. I can’t even be bothered to return it so it’s now in the bin. questionable build quality IMHO. Save your money and avoid this brand as clearly no QA on the stuff.
