I have a macbook with 2 USB ports. Both work perfectly. I always have a USB port occupied using my studio monitors. I'd like to plug in my USB mouse and USB keyboard as well. My first USB hub I just found lying around and was bus powered. It worked about the same as my second one. My second is bus powered, but has the ability to plug in the wall as well.
When I plug my mouse or keyboard directly into the computer it works perfectly, but whenever I plug them both into either of the USB hubs, it takes a few tries of plugging in and waiting or trying different ports until they finally are recognized. Furthermore once they are connected and working, if I insert something new like a USB flash drive, quite often the mouse and keyboard both stop working and it takes a little bit of time and a hassle to get them working again.
I've tried the hubs in both ports and the same problem exists. I have yet to try them in someone else's computer. I feel like the hubs works fine considering the same same problem exists with both hubs.
Thanks,
Danny
