Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

update: I have three of these. The power supply for each one makes an obnoxious noise. I assume this is a design flaw and something wrong with the electronics or wiring. Could it be a fire hazard? Could it be the reason my Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle was not getting sufficient power? These power supplies also don't work with Oculus Rift sensors. When you run the OR setup, it will reject the sensors when plugged into these hubs so I had to plug them into the motherboard directly. On the bright side, after my initial review, Anker contacted me and wanted to send me a replacement to see if it fixed my throttle issue. That's when I noticed the noise and confirmed they all make the noise but none of my other power supplies do (other brands, other devices). I will update again after I determine whether the new unit works with the throttle or OR sensor. original review: Nice, elegant design. Blue LEDs aren't overly bright or intense. However, despite being powered, there is insufficient power for a Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle. This throttle works just fine on my old Belkin USB 2.0 hub, but when plugged into this Anker hub, the LEDs flicker and it loses connection intermittently. This basically renders it unusable. I had heard of this issue over the years when people used unpowered hubs, but the solution was always to use a powered hub. This is a powered hub, yet it's behaving as if it's not. I'm seeing a green light on the unit where it plugs in, and if I unplug the power cable everything disconnects, so I assume it's not a problem with the unit receiving power. It seems to be a design flaw.
