Keyboards with USB hub
prices on 50 modelsUSB hub
— the availability of built-in ports in the case, through which you can connect a flash drive, mouse, 2.4 GHz receiver, or gadget charging cable to the PC without having to run a wire to the main unit. This kind of USB hub saves laptop ports, simplifies cable management, and is often referred to as USB pass-through, although technically it is the same mini-hub with 1-2 ports. In most models, the speed corresponds to USB 2.0, and the power is limited: connecting external SSDs and "power-hungry" accessories is not always correct; for stability, some keyboards require a second plug or USB-C with increased current. Compared to keyboards without a hub, the convenience is higher, compared to a separate desktop hub, it is more compact, but the functionality is modest. A practical example: a gaming laptop with two ports works with a mouse and flash drive through the keyboard's USB hub, and the keyboard itself remains connected to the PC with a single cable.
