I have a keyboard (PS/2 plugged into a USB converter) and a jog/shuttle controller plugged into mine. It is then connected through a Belkin USB KVM to PCs running Win XP and Linux. Sometimes, I also connect a USB flash drive or my MP3 player (Sansa e200 series). from Amazon.com The Belkin 4 port hub is economical and reliable. It is designed for easy access and sits on the desk rather than in the wire bundle at the back of the computer tower. from Amazon.com I had a need for more plugins for more USB equipment, on my MAC computor, so this Belkin F5U234-APL-S 4 really filled the bill. from Amazon.com After a day or two, it dropped its connection to the computer, and I had to unplug the USB connection to get it to be recognized again. I borrowed a cheap USB 2.0 hub from a friend, and it worked fine, so I realized that the problem was caused by this hub and was not a computer problem. Belkin's only advice was that this hub might work if it wasn't connected to a surge suppressor. The explanation simply didn't jive with the facts, and removing a safety device seemed to be a ludicrous solution, anyway. from Amazon.com I purchased the Belkin F5U234 USB hub yesterday and have been very pleased with how it painlessly connected all of my USB devices. I have a Mac Mini with two high-speed (480 MBps) ports. from Amazon.com Difficulty detecting USB devices on hub. Had to unplug and plug everything repeatedly. Had a lot of poor product performance from multiple Belkin products. Will not purchase Belkin again. from Amazon.com I have been using the Belkin USB 2.0 stackable hub for about two years. It works great but does have a problem. from Amazon.com Did everything possible to get it to work, but no go. Nobody on Apple's discussion site have had success. I took it back, but stayed with Belkin and used their 7 port USB hub instead and it worked like a charm and is also stackable. from Amazon.com I got this F5U234 as a Belkin warranty replacement for an F5U224 that died after four months. Upon opening the package, I discovered that Belkin now uses a NONSTANDARD USB connector on the hub output (instead of the familiar flat "A" type or squarish "B" type). from Amazon.com No headaches with them. Yet. Between this and the failure of a slightly older one at home, I am now sworn off any Belkin electronics. from Amazon.com
