Zeptari1 #1 Posted January 5, 2008 My 360 area is starting to look ugly, too many wire's up front. I tried a cheap radio shack usb 4port hub. It didn't work with my usb keyboard or my vision camera. I didn't try guitar hero with it yet. too many usb items... Question: which usb hub should i buy that work with all the items above? -rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Helmet #3 Posted January 6, 2008 I know that the powered one that comes with Rock Band works for multiple peripherals. You might just need a powered USB hub. I was thinking of adding an additional 500gb hard drive to mine off of a hub (I already have one full of movies). If you find one that works, please let me know.

If you find one that works, please let me know. maybe the members of this forum can post what usb hubs they tried. and we can post them here in a list. here's the one i tried: Radio Shack Cat. No: 26-139 illuminations Mini USB 4-Port 1.1 Hub reading that now for the first time, i see that it's only a 1.1.... I bet the 360 needs a 2.0 usb hub, Am i right? would that make a difference? -rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While the 360 controllers MIGHT be USB2, there's no sane reason to do it. They don't need even a fraction of the additional bandwidth. I'd bet they're USB1 as well.

Do most usb hub's have that? I soon as i find one that works with all my stuff ( GH, keyboard,vision camera)i'm getting it! Just found this. http://www.nyko.com/nyko/products/?i=78 anyone here own it? how about a review? -rick Edited January 7, 2008 by Zeptari1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JB #9 Posted January 8, 2008 That would be great! I wonder why it needs it's own power supply? Do most usb hub's have that? There's 2 classes of hub in the USB spec, powered and unpowered. Powered hubs are better because, when connected to the wall, they can support more curent draw than the USB host device can supply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
