Excellent hub, useful design

Darn good stuff, this is: a high-speed USB 2 hub with 7 ports.

The cool little LED fly light, and a USB extension cable just add to the value of this hub. The hub itself is fairly heavy, a bonus when you have a half-dozen USB cable gadgets hanging off of it. My previous hub, a small cigaret-pack size, was always sliding around on the desktop.... sometimes it ended up hanging halfway to the floor. With the Kensington, that's a thing of the past.

I also like the LED light... I often work at night when it's quiet, and entering my AV editing room/office it's very possible to step on (or trip over) any number of cables, instruments, what have you. With this little lamp lighting up the room dimly, I can see well enough to navigate around the obstacles. I often aim it at the keyboard so I can still glance at the keys to make out the characters... my monitor doesn't really illuminate the keyboard from its position on the desk. so it's been handy. I like that.

The attached USB cable concerned me at first. I thought it was wimpy (it's quite thin). However, it has not failed me after months and months of service, so no complaint there.

The ports are arranged at slight angles to one another, so USB cables and gadgets don't exactly plug in parallel to one another. They "fan out" some, so the hub requires a bit more desktop space (behind itself) than its own footprint. Plugging in cables takes a bit of getting used to because of the slight angles, but the connectors feel solid and I've had no troubles there.

The 7th port is on top of the dome, which is handy if you have PDAs or MP3 players; it's also a good spot for the fly light!

Sweet little compact dome that sits on your desk taking up little space, but providing lots of ports for all your needed connections!

This is a great little hub, heavy enough that it stays where you put it, it also comes with a small flexible light. I am very happy with this product.

great hub in almost every aspect, except that ...

there is no way I can figure out the polarity of the DC power supply plug!!!!

--- I lost the orginal power adapter and need to get a replacement, but in the tiny jack where you plug in the power supply, there is no mark of either voltage or polarity! (of course, searching their website or through the web didn't produce any thing.)

Darn!

So if you are forwarned to take note of the power adapter specs, just in case you might need it some day later.
