2009-01-01I bought this USB hub because I needed another hub and I liked the design of the DomeHub. The fact that it came with a flexible light accessory was secondary and didnt influence my descision away from other hubs. I just thought that the light would be a good little way to provide additional illumination, specifically on my keyboard, at night when I am working at my computer.
Unfortunately, the light beam it way to conscentrated to really be usefull. If the light passed through a convex lens or something similiar to diffuse and disperse the light, it would be a lot more usefull. As it is now, the light beam is no larger than a few inches in diameter and is is very bright, then quickly drops off untill it is dark a foot or so from the center.
I can't complain about the USB hub though. It was easy to connect, it looks cool, and it provides 7 additional USB connections (including a top access port) that I desparately needed. I would buy another one or recomend this to anyone, but I would tell them to forget about the light unless improvements are made.
2008-12-26Top notch quality. Looks a feels sturdy. The USB port connections are very firm. This is worth the extra money.
2008-12-10I bought this in Sept 08 and had no problems with my laptop. It was a plug and play and was recogized without issue. Recently I noticed that some of the lights hadn't been coming on consistently. I tried plugging it into another laptop and just thought the lights went bad because it appeared that the connection was still working. But then again the things it was connected to also had wireless capablility too. So i wasnt sure. But today I relized that 4 of the 7 usb ports had stopped working. So I unplugged it and set it aside to look for my reciept and book that came with it. I then went to the kensington web page and found the customer service phone number and called it. My call was answered almost imediately by a very pleasant lady. She took my info and asked me if I had tried plugging it into another computer and I told her I tried two laptops but if she would hang on i could try my desktop. Of Course, when I plugged it in there IT WORKED!!! isnt that always the case. I asked her if from time to time it needed to be unplugged to clear and plugged back in. She said she never really heard that before but if it works then all the better. So, It is a good product. It has not had a problem connecting anything I have tried to plug into it, and if by chance you ever notice the lights go out on the front, just try unplugging it for 20 minutes and plugging it back in again. IT WORKED FOR ME. The thing I like the best about calling customer service was that (unlike many other manufacturers) I actualy got through to a live person, who was pleasant, and very intrested in helping me resolve my issue. because of that GREAT support, I would buy another product from this company.
2008-11-23I bought this USB hub for an older (2005) iMac. It certainly solves the problems of dealing with multiple USB-powered peripherals. One issue I did notice was that when I had 5-6 plugs used, my computer had dificulty starting up... in fact, it didnt start up untill I unplugged all but 1-2 devices. Certainly, I wouldn't blame the product for this. It may be my older iMac, or one of those wierd tech issues that never quite has a reason. I suppose it may be like plugging too many electrial devices into an extension cord. Whatever the case, it is simpley something to watch out for. Oh, and it isnt exactly weighted as the product blurb states. I doubt that it would tip over, but that has more to do with its shape. You aren't going to be able to plug and unplug without moving the hub - which is sort of what I expected.
2008-11-19I ordered 1 set, when I opened it, it had lots of scratches. Amazon was kind enough to send me a replacement but it came with scratches as well...
