Looking for a hub to expand the ports on my laptop. Plan to plug in my wireless mouse (G304) and keyboard (G613) into this hub.

I read that there would be no difference when using a Powered USB hub and plugging directly into the PC. Can anyone confirm ?

Currently eyeing ACASIS Hub from Lazada https://www.lazada.com.my/products/free-plu...i992046823.html

I've tried using the USB ports on the monitor for the dongles, not viable due to lag.

If just for mouse keyboard then even the cheapest rm2 hub will do

dosen't work for me. I tried using my monitor USB, and also U-Green USB hub (not powered). Both will cause the mouse and keyboard to lag.

Power is not the main issue, it’s the bandwidth.

I have an Orico USB hub which is functioning fine normally but when I plug USB3 HDD/thumbdrive to it, the bandwidth will get bottlenecked and start to lag other wireless mice/keyboard.

Then propose you don't use any.
You can get a usbc to usb female converter if you have usbc

I have the TP-Link UH-720, 7-port powered hub plus 2 charging ports. Works well. I used it with my MacBook Pro and now with my Mac mini. All ports occupied. Mouse, keyboard, webcam, HD, SSD, USB mic and music keyboard.

thanks, but does it work just for the wireless mouse and keyboard ?

Are the mouse and keyboard wired or wireless ?

Low bandwidth (only a wired keyboard and a Logitech mouse receiver) worked totally fine. The hiccup only happen when I further plug other USB drives to it.

Mouse and keyboards are wired. I also use a trackpad but that's bluetooth to the Mac.
