Side by Side Comparison of: Zhidong vs Sabrent vs Z.D vs suptek

This controller is awesome! Sad it doesn't work on Xbox but.. for PC it is by far my favorite! Blue lighting makes it look even better, and all the buttons are responsive and solid to the touch. The controller is a bit on the light side but still solid construction. I've put it through lots of button mashing and harsh use but it's still in perfect order and I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for a stylish PC controller. I also love that it includes an adapter for Android phones!

I was not expecting this controller to be so high-quality for the price range.I purchased this controller to replace the SteelSeries 3GC that I was using for about a year or two. I picked it up solely for the price to review ratio at the time. (Which was pretty high compared to the other controllers on sale)The Android adapter is awful and doesn't seem to be working with my LG K7 from what I've seen.The glowing effect doesn't seem to reach the left analog stick, but that's just nitpicking.The controller is a bit troublesome to disassemble and the grip is a real pain to get oriented when reassembling the controller since it likes to fall back out of the slots that holds it in place.Now to the good bits:This controller has had almost no trouble being detected by the games that I play on it unlike the SteelSeries 3GC.The build quality is excellent (better than the XBox One Elite controllers that tended to malfunction during their early releases)The controller is just the right size for the hands (even though my hands may be a bit larger than average)The directional pad is great to use compared to the SteelSeries 3GC's directional pad.The trigger buttons are analog which is something I never expected at this price range.The two motors actually function in more than a single game (unlike the SteelSeries 3GC's two motors)The whole controller is based on a single circuit board instead of two circuit boards connected with a ribbon cable.

Good controller would be better if it came with set of utilities to customize it. I really like the force feedback on it. It's nice and strong vibrations. I think it feels pretty good in hand. Nice bottom trigger buttons. Also works with tablets which was pretty neat as well. You will have to maybe get an adaptor for the larger USB end of the cable but it seems to work. I have an older Android with the Jellybean OS if that makes any difference I don't know =D.

After playing with an Xbox one controller (the best in my opinion), here are some thoughts:-Layout of buttons are natural and took no time getting used to.-Buttons are tactile, and have a really nice pulsing light.-Sticks are very responsive, D pad is also easily used and tactile.-What really made me keep this controller is the addition of a turbo features, which lets you turbo press any button at 3 different speeds.CONS-Cord is too short to reach my couch.-Accuracy of joysticks are low. Not great for competitive shooters, but still gets the job done.If you want a cheap controller (price, not quality) I would tell you to get this, or possibly its red brother.Been using for 3 months and will be updating. If no updates are present, it means this product has held up well.

Setup of the controller in Windows 7 did not go nicely the first time, which made me think there was a problem with the controller. I'm not really sure what happened, but the controls in the game controller configuration (Windows Control Panel) were all messed up.I rebooted my computer and thought "I'll try one more time." It worked.Once I got past the setup I found this controller to be a great replacement to my outdated one. It is comfortable in my hands, even for extended periods of time. I haven't had any problems. This was a well designed, quality controller for a great price.

Getting back into gaming and needed a controller that runs on Linux (preferred and Windows) and this fits the bill. Great controller for the price. Build is sturdy, buttons and d-pad are crisp, and the return springs on the analog sticks are nice and stiff. I asked the seller if this would work on Linux (I run Arch) and was told no, but for $25 I took a shot and it works fine. USB cables are long enough to be comfortable, but not too long to be a hassle. The only critique I have is that it is a little small in my hands (I am 6'4" with pretty big hands so most feel small). I would definitely recommend this controller.

Having used larger US hubs with my Raspberry Pi’s in the past (such as ones from Rosewill), this is a small USB 2.0 hub in comparison. The size is roughly that of a pack of stick gum, which is a good match for the RPi0. Sabrent offers the same exact design hub in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 flavors. As I’m just intending to use this with a RPi0, USB 2.0 will suffice as RPi’s only have onboard USB 2.0 anyway. The switches seem to work well and are a nice feature, especially if the ports are going to be used as a power source. The unit does have a 5V DC power input, if you want to power it. The input accepts male 3.5x1.35mm barrel (positive center) connectors. If powered, each of the four ports can provide up to 1A of power, so a 4A power supply would be a good match. Sabrent offers one, model PS5V4A, however it would be easy to draw power from many other sources. Construction of the device is fair enough. It is built of a hard “rubberis” material. Overall, it is a decent little hub. It should be Plug n’ Play with Windows/MacOS/Linux/etc.

I ordered the USB 4 port hub because on the front of my computer has only 2 USB ports. The rest is on back. I have a wireless mouse dongle in one of my front ports and the other I hooked up to this 4 Port USB hub. I also use wood double stick tape to mout this to the front of my computer tower. You can have USB items plugged in there and by pushing down the individual port button a blue light will glow and your item will be turned on. I am running windows 7 and this gadget works most of the time and sometimes it will not turn on. It seems like the power get to low to power up my devise. That could because my computer is older and still running half decent. I am happy with the purchase and it's a neat gadget to have if you want to have more USB front ports. I use this for my external hard drive, USB flash drive, USB desk speakers and what ever USB item I have.

Small enough to stash in a laptop bag or conceal in a PC build. The latter is actually why I bought this hub: to use with a few wireless dongles to add concealed Bluetooth and Logitech Unifying to my gaming PC. Combined with the NZXT IU01 internal USB hub, this Sabrent hub works well with the aforesaid dongles and works with any OS. I took a couple of Command strips and stuck it to the front of my case (NZXT H440) behind the vanity shroud and ran the wire inside through a conveniently placed hole to plug it into the IU01 board. That's it: that's all it takes. Now I get built-in Bluetooth and Unifying with essentially no signal loss. I like the individual power buttons -- I can disable the ports I don't need, hopefully reducing overall power draw.Probably far enough off the spec sheets to confuse the guys (and gals) at Sabrent, but I like it. :-)

I purchased this 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches & LEDs (Black) almost two years ago and it still works great. Others have mentioned in their reviews that they ran into some issues with it disconnecting their external hard drives while in use. Fortunately, I can say that although I have had this happened to me before with this device, it has only happened once or twice in the whole time I've had it. The one or two times it has disconnected or improperly ejected my drive was when I either plugged or unplugged something else into the 4-Port Hub (I believe it was during a transfer, so it seems that the connection was disrupted from the additional source added or being taken away), or when I turned pressed or depressed one of the buttons to cut power to that USB port.Because I cited either of these activities as disrupting the connection to my external drive, I just do not mess with the on/off port buttons or plug/unplug anything during a transfer just as a precaution. (Note: the drive does not disconnect every single time that things are plugged/unplugged or the button for a port is pushed, I can usually use it like normal even when my external is connected. The drive has only disconnected due to this activity those very few times mentioned).I like the ability to "turn off" the connection to specific ports by using the buttons so certain drives though ejected are "unplugged."I have a MacBook Pro so having additional USB ports was a must with only two available on my computer. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. The price is extremely good too considering the use I've gotten out of it thus far.

I recently got this hub to replace a slower, older one and to be able to leave things plugged into it while only taking up on USB port on my laptop. Once I got it, I decided to see if I could make it cry. I am impressed. I plugged in my KVM, a thumb drive, my cell phone and an external HDD just for fun. Each device either came up immediately or did so once I bounced the switch on the hub. My cell phone says it is slowly charging and recommends that I use it's charger but that is not what I connected it to the hub for. I wanted to see if I could move data back and forth between phone, laptop, external HDD and thumbdrive and yes, I was able to move a folder with it's content across all devices. Another important thing is that the external drive comes with one of those two headed USB plugs in case it needs more juice to run and I did not have to connect the power USB connector. The HDD is running fine, off the hub, with just the data cable hook up. This means I can leave stuff plugged into the hub and connect everything to me laptop with only one USB connection. The individual on-off buttons are just icing on the cake. I am buying a second unit.

I was amazed at the quality of this unit, (and I'm a gadget freak). It has solid USB connections. Nothing loose and cheesy about it. I attached it to the face of my tower PC with mounting tape. Looks and functions very solid. I'm an amateur photographer and am constantly disconnecting one-to use it for something else. Having this has saved me a great deal of frustration. I can even leave the cables plugged into the hub and just power off the L.E.D. power switches, so now I don't need to hunt for cables. I'm using it full time now for a month and have had no problems whatsoever. I'm VERY glad I got over some of the "if'y" reviews and bought this.

Great controller. When I received this product i hooked it up to my PS3 and it connected fine. It will always be the primary controller if that is an issue just hook up the others and assign them then this controller. BUT THE LEFT BUMPER DOES NOT FULLY WORK!!!!!! I noticed soon after that when I went in a certain direction (northeast) it did not respond. I would return but it is only a minor hindrance. Something to consider

To start with, this is designed to resemble the Xbox 360 controller and I personally love that design. The anchor shape really fits great in the hand and is one of the reasons that I picked up this controller. It just fits my hands like a glove. Overall, I think that the design is very good and stands out from the other competitors with the accent coloring and grippy rubbers on the handles.The buttons on the controller are very clicky and have a nice tactile response. Being my second remote of this type from the same company, the quality is still there. The buttons hold up very well and they don't really affect gaming. The triggers are very similar to the original Xbox 360 controller and there's not much feedback there in terms of clickiness, but they get the job done. Overall the experience gaming with this controller was very good.I'm only giving four stars because the first one I ordered came with a microusb cable and was pseudo wireless, whereas this one is a wired controller. But that was a mistake on my end. The connectivity with this controller and my PC was solid and I never experienced any weird stutters or latency lag during gaming. So you can rest easy knowing that this controller will not get all wonky while you're gaming.

It works pretty well. The sticks were a bit stiff at first but it just takes some breaking in. Incidentally, I had to exchange the first one I ordered because the right stick would catch when moved upward and had a significant dead zone. Yet, the exchange process was painless; I had a replacement in two days. No sense blaming the company over it it happens. And this is just about the best 3rd party controller you can get that rivals the Xbox controller for only about 3/5 the price...not have bad. It has plug in play capability too which many other 3rd party controllers lack. The LEDs in the buttons are pretty cool too.Just FYI it says in the product description that this is a PC controller only and will not work with any Xbox console so that may partially explain the price.

game controller works great.currently using it to to play rocket league and cs:go on my computer.if you're playing on the computer make sure that the first two lights are lit up in the center of the controller -- this mode is for the computer. it comes with instructions but i might as well tell you now, just in case you connect it and you're like "noooooooo, it's not working"the LB and RB are snappy and work well but at sometimes, if you're pressing from the other edge of the button, it feels like it's going to jam because you're using too much force. of course, i don't use that much force but i wanted to test to see how sturdy it was.

This worked fantastic. Amazon shipped fast. Controller has a great feel to it. Kind of soft rubber on the side grips. Buttons and triggers are responsive. Plug this baby in and let windows install.Manufacturers issue found. Appears there's an issue where the controllers cable goes into the controller itself. It has some nice rubber protection but if I hold the controller w the cable coming out the top then dropping down the back to the floor the controller keeps losing connection and turning off and on. Only fix I found was to drape the cable over the front while I play to see at connection active. Is rather not have to take this apart and solder anything myself. Hope others aren't having same issues.

My only issue with this controller is that sometimes if the micro usb port on the controller itself sometimes gets a little loose and for about a few seconds the controller is not recognized. I also have no idea how the vibration feature works and I've tried many times with many games and never got it to work. Though that is not a feature I need.I do like that it came with cable to connect to phones, but it seems as if that Android does not recognize that it's a controller. Now my phone does have controller support as my bluetooth controller works great with it. The phone recognizes there is a device is attached but when I go into a game there is no support for it. Though this could just be Androids problem and not the controller itself. I can't point down when I'm not sure if it's my phone, Android or the controllers fault here.With all that said this is an excellent feeling controller, it feels solid and feels comfortable in my hands. All the buttons feel solid and great. Over all it does not feel cheap and works great for what I want.

CONVENIENT AND EASY TO USE:I have a Surface Pro with only one USB port. I am so glad I bought this 4-port USB hub! I can attach my printer, my 10-key pad, and an external hard-drive and leave it plugged in instead of having to keep switching them out. The buttons are also convenient. When I want to eject my external hard-drive from my computer, I can simply click the button to turn off that port after ejecting it. My external hard-drive can still be attached physically, but its port is turned off.SMALL IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION:The only thing I would like to see different about this product is a longer cord. I was aware of the length at the time of purchase . But it would help if it was just a bit longer by a few more inches.OVERALL:I would buy this product again.

I'm very happy with this hub. It's nice and small and works just great. I own a Sabrent USB 3.0 hub as well, and my experience with it caused me to select Sabrent for this purchase, too.I would have given it 5 stars, but for one thing. The cable is very short, maybe a foot or so, which is great for laptops, but I'm using it on a workstation tower that is located under my desk, so I had to get an extension cable for it. No biggie, and I wouldn't let that stop you from getting this unit.NOTE: I was having trouble with my Logitech Unifying Receiver when it was plugged into the back of my tower (poor reception from mouse). I now have the receiver plugged into my Sabrent hub, which is located on my desk's work surface, and it works great!

Great product and an even better company. I purchased this 4-port USB hub solely because my Macbook only has two USB ports which put me at a disadvantage because I have multiple USB flash drives and other tools that require a USB spot. The first item I received was faulty in the sense that only one of the ports worked; however, after contacting the company they sent me a replacement which works amazing. This item is a must if you use the computer often as it allows you to have your phone, flash drives, external disk drives and even more things connected at any given moment.

I bought one, just to try it out. Well, in the end I bought three more!I didn't expect the size to be so small and when I got it, I immediately felt like it was a good purchase. It had a very modern design, travel sized, everything is necessary and nothing was over the top.It doesn't feel like a top of the notch hub, but it doesn't feel cheap either. I'd say it feels good, reliable.Second thing I like are the individual power buttons for each USB. Sometimes, you just want to keep things plugged in but turned off and it's so easy with this.Why did I buy so many? There are a LOT of people in my family.. I am usually the one that buys items and if it's good I buy a few more as gifts for my aunts/uncles and siblings, even friends. My sister has a surface pro 3 and brother with a surface pro - they both love this hub when I gave them one each.I would recommend this to anyone who needs a reliable; travel sized hub with good design.

I'm an iMac user. I love the design of the iMac, but hate that the USB ports are all rearward-facing. I figured I could remedy this with a cheap accessory like this Sabrent USB hub, which I purchased and taped with 3M double-sided tape to the underside of the iMac with the ports facing forwards.It works great! I love how you can turn on only the ports you're currently using with the touch of a button. The blue LEDs clearly indicate which slots are active (a minor complaint is that there's no way to turn the LEDs off except by disabling the port, which sucks a little bit and costs the hub 1 star, but wouldn't stop me from purchasing this item again). The transfer speeds are fast via 2.0, and my devices are always recognized in OSX. Perfect compatibility - just the way a USB hub should work. It even provides enough power to charge my iPhone 6/iPad 2.Would recommend. Perfect purchase if a) you're looking to relocate USB ports to the front of your computer or b) you just want to expand your connectivity options. Looks great, too, with excellent build construction.

Short Summary: Great USB hub concept. Truly a plug and playFeatures (9/10):It does what it state it does and simply works. Just plug and play.The switch makes it very quick to turn on/off devices. The idea is perfect when you dont' need to reach behind your computer to unplug/replugPerformance (8/10):Data speed transfer is consistent with other USB 2.0 hubs.I streamed a 10Gb mkv 1080p movie clip and also did some 1000 random file transfer and actual use is barely noticeably different from direct plug inPrice (8/10):A stellar price for the convenience provided. It's just incredible how cheap these hub get these days although you will find hubs out there without simple on/off function for similar price. You really paying for the function this time.Design(7/10):It's not a looker but it gets the job done. It will be better if the usb is more spaced out but it is not, making it difficult to plug in wider sticks. Hope they have a new revision coming for wider usb sticks.Conclusion (8/10)A very good purchase. If you have a bad back, this is one of your best friends helping you keeping it from getting worst. It's cheap and easy to use.If you find my review useful, please vote Yes. Thanks for reading!

I bought this for primary use on a PS3, as I was in the market for a new controller and prefer those with the xbox 360 layout as well as clicky buttons (the Dualshock 3 buttons and D-Pad are all too mushy in my opinion).The layout and feel of this controller is solid; each button has great feedback and it did not disappoint in the slightest. The rubberized grip seemed to be sweat resistant, if not a little rough. The L and R buttons are clicky, which may put off some users but I loved it. My only gripe, is that if you depress the face buttons very hard (mashing), the surrounding plastic will make contact with your skin which can be annoying sometimes. The turbo also works as advertised as do other command functions with a sheet on how to activate them being provided.Unfortunately, I returned my controller, as the left joystick did not always correctly work for all ps3 games (worked for many but not all), in particular when moving diagonally. I don't know if there was input lag or what, but most characters would began to move in a diagonal direction slowly for a second or two, before moving fast again. In short, not as responsive as the vanilla PS3 controller, despite far superior buttons. The cord length is also short, for when using on PS3.Everything worked perfectly on pc, and if you're the market for a pc pad, this one is excellent and highly recommended. 5 Stars for PC.

I wasn't sold on the stick layout and I won't go near a console (FAR too RESTRICTIVE for upgrades!), so I wasn't bound to something I was used to already. I bought another one from SteelSeries to compare to this one, and it's far preferable for me. This unit is quite well made, led's are centered under the buttons rather than off to the side like some of the cheaper ones (and my old MS Xbox model, for that matter), and finish is very good...I just found one to compare it to that I like better.

Short Version: This is a great (maybe even excellent) Microsoft X-Box 360 Controller for PC with 2 major flaws preventing me from giving this a 5 star rating: Constant disconnects during gameplay and shutdowns of my PC due to the disconnects.I've never been a huge fan of the X-box style controller, even if it is fairly similar to the Dreamcast controller which was one of my favorite consoles ever....though admittedly, that controller isn't great for long play sessions (comfort wise). I've always preferred the PlayStation style form factor, so I've been hesitant to buy a 360 Controller since I didn't have a Xbox 360. I've used the Logitech F310 for a while, but had problems with the trigger button placement and pressure, and the chunky size.Enter the ZD-N Controller. It has a similar, but smaller shape to the 360 Controller, X-Input, detatchable charging cable, and is usable with multiple systems. It's very comfortable and I have used this successfully with many games. The overall build has a reasonably solid feel for a cheaper off-brand. The Face keys, like the 360 controller are convex, but perhaps at a smaller radius, or maybe just flatter, so the button feels more comfortable to use and press for extended play sessions. I don't have much else to say about the rest of the controller and that's probably a good thing: A great product is so good, that you don't realize it's good, but rather don't realize anything wrong with it. The sticks move and press just as expected and don't feel loose or cheap at all. The triggers and bumpers depress just right.It has been a while since I tested this controller with racing games and fighting games, which are key to testing the D-pad, sticks and triggers. I hate the 360 D-pad shape for 2D fighters, but the ZD-N has a Plus shaped pad that extrudes from a Plus shaped hole, versus the 360's Plus shaped pad on a rocker circle shape. In actuality, the pad itself is probably almost identical to the 360's pad, but the shaped hole makes the difference in executing quarter-circle motions and charge motions in 2D fighters. Again, it has been a while since I have used this on a fighter, and I would actually plug it in and test it in, except for TWO MASSIVE FLAWS....This controller constantly disconnects itself ever so slightly from the cable. It's never enough to completely drop the cable or fall out, but it is just enough for Windows to recognize the controller as unplugged, often disabling it in game. I sit at a PC desk and the cable does hit against my desk's keyboard tray, so that is part of the problem for me. This issue will be less of a problem depending how you sit and what angle your cord is at to hit other objects or be tripped by your own legs/feet. I can't exactly call it flimsy, but it isn't nearly solid enough for gameplay if you're aren't careful about how you're holding the controller at all times. This constant disconnecting leads to a CRITICAL REASON why I can't recommend this controller...My PC will literally crash, shutdown, and restart after a few disconnects. I've had this happen many times while playing Axiom Verge and once while playing AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake - it's excellent). I'm not sure if this is some sort of failsafe of Windows or a strange power issue with the controller. My speaker will make a repetitive "drilling" sound of the last audio bit it played before the PC shuts down. I started to fear that I had power supply or power strip issues until I went back to my Logitech controller which has a standard built in cable and I never had the issue again. The detachable cable is a great feature on paper and definitely could be handy for Android devices with Bluetooth. I haven't personally tested this on PS3 or Android to tell how well they work for those systems - disconnects should be less of a problem due to wireless capabilities.I want to suggest this controller so much, because honestly, this is probably the best 3rd party controller to mimic a first person controller I've ever used - but that doesn't matter when it near literally kills the system it's being used on.

Controller is very pleasing to the eyes. I like that I can use it on PC or android devices. To its credit, it is very tough because it has pissed me off and I've given it a good squeeze. Why would this controller make a person frustrated you might wonder? Dead zone on the thumb sticks. You have to move the thumb stick about 1/3 of full lean before it registers that you're moving it. And by that point it doesn't register as finally just ever so slightly move. Its like you just tilted the joystick over 1/3 of the way. Can't do any less than that. It still works and I still use it, but I know any fine movements I'm just SOL because it almost feels like all or nothing with only a little in between. It works, just not as well as I would have liked.

I really like the fact that most games just know that I'm using it as a controller and I can automatically play with it. This doesn't work for all games but most. I originally intended to buy this controller for fighting games on the pc and it works perfectly for that. Though, the only flaw is that it is not good with precision in an fps game so you might want to shell out some more money for a better controller for games that require precise aiming.EDIT: 8/17/2016 Came to say that i have to change the position of the cord in order for it to work. If it goes out of that position, it turns off so that is a bit troublesome but other than that, it's good

My review of this product has almost completely changed. After quite a while with this product, I have several complaints. First, the cord that comes with it does not quite fit well into the controller, causing the controller to disconnect frequently. I have temporarily fixed this by using the charger cord that came with my Galaxy S4. Maybe the red version of this controller would not have that issue. Second, and most importantly, the left analog stick Does Not Work Properly. I'll attach some photos of some examples of how it doesn't work. The first (hopefully) shows what happens when I try to put the analog stick fully southeast, the second should show it working normally as I put it fully north, and the third should show it failing to register that I'ved moved it from west to west-northwest. This one problem renders the controller mostly useless. I can't use it for Dark Souls 2. I can't use it for Call of Duty Black Ops. I can only use it for games with simpler controls, such as those on my laptop and phone.The controller itself still looks and feels amazing. It is rather customizable, and I truly regret that the analog stick doesn't work. I would assume that the analog stick broke through some action of my own normally, but it has been faulty since the day I got it. It just wasn't until I tried to use it on my laptop that I was able to find out exactly what was wrong. I'm going to give this controller 3 stars because the parts of it that do work work wonderfully, but the parts that don't ruin the experience.I've also kept my original review quoted below."This product works amazingly. The feel is very similar to the Xbox 360 controller, which is great. The bumper buttons seem a little flimsy, but only if you press them from the very edge, which I can't imagine doing while actually using the controller. The cord seems a bit short, but it is probably the length advertised. Also, I'm sure you can replace the cord if you use the proper data cable, although I have yet to try this. Overall I was and continue to be truly impressed with this controller."

I bought this little hub 2 years ago because of its very informative reviews; it seemed very reliable for its cheap price. The hub was fantastic for about the first 3 months, up until two of the USB lights stopped working, while the USB connectors still worked. No big deal, just a minor annoyance. After another month or so, the cable stopped working, killing the rest of the USB ports. The product became pretty useless after 4 or so months and I could not have it returned or replaced.As for when the actual product came in, it felt rather flimsy and cheap from the get-go. The cable was a tangled mess and never got untangled over time, which may have contributed to it breaking down on me. The LED lights were very bright, which was a minor annoyance in night when I left my computer on, but I just covered it up. The plastic wasn't super durable, but unless you plan on throwing this around or sitting on it, it should be good enough. The USB ports were slightly wobbly, but nothing fell out so that was solid for me.The functionality of the HUB was standard: USB go in, USB work. One thing that didn't seem to work was my keyboard - a Cooler Master Quickfire Pro keyboard - which was half the reason why I purchased the HUB in the first place. Extreme letdown, but I plugged it into my computer's other USB port and moved on. The hub also charges incredibly slowly, so if you are here to purchase a hub that can also charge your electronics, this is likely not for you. My phone charged approximately 15% in about an hour.It was obvious that the USB hub wasn't going to last in the long run, but it served its purpose for the cheap price of $7 that I purchased it for. Other reviewers gave it very flashy and fantastic reviews, but it seemed like a 4-star product with 2-star lifespan but 5-star pricing. My experience may be on the minority side, but I would like to let people know about the potential for quality control issues this product might have.TLDR: great price for decent product that did not last for more than 4 months for me. May be better for others, but beware of quality control issues.

This thing doesn't do a fantastic job on its own. USB 1~2 standards dictate that a unit can deliver 100mA of current on average, and up to 500mA of current if the unit sends a request, and the host allows it. Now downstream if you have no power for your USB hub, you can only deliver 100mA per USB slot. So if your devices are not playing nice you may have dropouts in the USB Hub. Adding a power supply would fix this, but the power jack on the side appears to be non-standard. If you want a USB hub, I suggest spending a bit more and finding one that is powered. You will have fewer problems.

I needed a simple USB hub for my Xbox One so I could hook up more hard drives and controllers. Day 1 out of the box, my joystick was having issues when hooked up to the HUB. It would either not respond at all, or the controller would be constantly scrolling down over and over. I double checked to make sure the appropriate power button was active, and it was. Next, I tried hooking up a Rock Band guitar USB device that made the old guitars compatible with the new Rock Band. While the device works when plugged directly into a USB port, it would not work when running through the HUB. Lastly, I figured I would hook it up to my PC so I have more ports for charging USB devices to at least get SOME use from the HUB, but none of the devices responded when plugged into the HUB. After trying the USB HUB in 3 different scenarios, all with poor results, I gave up.UPDATE: The manufacturer sent me a replacement product for free, which I haven't had any issues with yet. So I've had a 50% success rate with this item.

For the price, this hub is pretty good. Read and write speeds are really great, but if you move around a lot of data, you wanna look at the USB 3.0 version. The LEDs look very cool and the hub isn't as big as it looks in the pictures. It's 8 cm long and 3 cm wide. DON'T BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO CHARGE THINGS AS WELL, IT'S A VERY SLOW CHARGER!Update: It's been over two years since I had this product. The product definitely passed the electronics shelf-life test! And for that, I'm tempted to give this product 4 out of 5 stars, but I'm hesitant because of the charging issue. I've tried to test this product with various electronics to see if perhaps it could charge them well. With the iPhone 6s plus, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, and even Bose QC20s, the devices just simply refused to be charged by this hub. Read/write speeds are also pretty mediocre. For now, this product serves as a connection hub for my laptop. By this, I mean I've connected a USB Fan (works), a wireless mouse, a wireless keyboard and my printer. I tried to use this hub to transfer files from my laptop to a USB Flashdrive, and found it ineffective and slow and rely on my laptop's USB ports instead.All in all, final recommendation. Buy this product if you're looking for extra ports to connect wireless keyboards/mice, USB Fans, printers or other peripherals. Would 100% not recommend this device for device charging or file tranfers!

This is the second switch I bought. The first was a HDMI Matrix which failed to do its job, every time I used the TV remote to raise the volume on one tv the switch would suspend the or shut off the monitor i was actively using or it would switch channels. I then decided to switch to another company for my usb switch to make my other usb switch to work properly. and it is doing the job. Had to use an extension cable as the one on the switch is really short. Also It is cheaply built the Blue leds bleed into each other. You will have to use double sided tape or velcro to strap it down. I use it as a switch for my mouse and keyboard in the living room for computer #1 and I have another keyboard in my control room to control computer #1 and #2. In the technology today they do not make a 2 in 2 out usb switch.

I was pretty thrilled w/ the idea of turning 1 usb port into 5 based on the limited inputs on my laptop. The Sabrent unit came well ahead of the projected shipping time and that was a plus. I used the hub for about the 1st week w/o any problem. After that, I noticed that the ports themselves didn't seem to always make electrical contact w/ the devices plugged in which would cause my mouse to go unresponsive or my external hard drive to disconnect. I don't feel like I was doing an unreasonable amount of moving around when this occurred either but maybe this would be better suited for a less mobile setup. Can't really complain too much because of the great price I picked this up for, but there remains the inkling that spending a few more bucks would've provided me a product that I'd be more satisfied w/.Shipping Speed: 5Quality of Construction: 3.7As Advertised: 5

This thing spazzes out. The shoulder buttons have depressed into the body of the controller. I'll have to open it up to see if it's repairable.I was using this to play rocket league on PC. Heavy button usage.Works well, currently using to play PC games and works great for that purpose. Feels better made then other controllers I have owned. Pleased overall.

Upon opening the box, I see the OTG adapter is extremely cheap. Gently, I tried putting it in my phone, but it doesn't go in, so I try on a different phone and the thing basically bends where the USB port meets the male micro USB end. The controller itself may be better quality, but I can't even try it until I replace the adaptor. it isn't worth it to even send this back for such a small thing, that will be replaced with something equally flimsy.

I usually don't write reviews, but I figured this could be useful to someone. I bought this controller for my PS3 as I cannot get used to playing with their controller (too small and the layout just doesn't agree with my gaming habits). The ZD controller does in fact look and feel like the Xbox controller when it comes to size and appearance. They even added some sort of grip to the handles for those who may get slippery hands while playing. There is no setup required and all that is needed to do is plug and play. However... Here is what the deal breaker was for me... Analog dead zone (and not just slightly). Not to mistake with actual delays (other buttons and functions seemed to be okay), but the analog sticks have barely if any responsiveness or sensitivity to movement and the dead zone is so much so that you either go all the way (right or left) or you don't go at all. I've heard some say that it can be manageable or even fine with shooting games or some fighting games, but let me be straight here. As a picky gamer (and a picky shopper I suppose), this controller does not fit my needs at all when it comes to racing games. The analog dead zone will, simply put, prevent you from being able to turn, drift, dodge (anything) properly. If you enjoy racing games and are looking into an Xbox like controller for your PS3, stay away from this item... If you are still looking for something else, I recommend you look into adapters such as Cronus Max Plus (for instance). But stay way away from this device... The analog dead zone is not worth the struggle for fellow racers.

It's a great buy at first but after 2 months of use the buttons will commence to be unresponsive even if treated with care. I'm not sure if this was due to a programming fault or normal wear.

Works mostly fine - left thumbstick isn't responsive at all until it's pushed at least half way in any given direction. Not the greatest controller if you play a lot of shooters. Worked for a few months, but thanks to a loose connecting wire (connecting to the controller itself) it now doesn't work at all.

Feels good, and easy set up - just plug in and play (Windows 7) .....BUT back-lighting flickers/doesn't work and directional controls are not very sensitive so if you are playing a FPS or RPG its near impossible to aim (or even just select locations to travel to on your map)

I bought this item solely to charge more then one phone off the same outlet. I chose this one in particular because it was cheap and had good reviews. Unfortunately it works horribly for charging. Don't get me wrong, it DOES charge. But 30 minutes to get a 9%charge is unacceptable. When I plugged the same cord directly into the wall box I got 9% in about 7 minutes. And that was with only 1 phone plugged in. I would guess that plugging in more things would slow it down even more but I'm not sure. I'm going to end up just putting this in one of our travel bags to use in hotels where we have limited outlets because it is far too slow to use on a regular basis.

When I charge my small led desk lamp, it draws the power from the light back into the unit, even when computer is shut off. A plumber would say it needs a check valve. This should not happen! Unfortunately, after I purchased this, I saw a better one that also has an Ethernet connector, which this one did not seem to like, the seperate one I had to buy gave me problems when it was plugged into this, it kept shutting down. I am using it for a fan, and a mouse, charging cell phone and the led lamp,, and no problem with them so far, except it sucks the power from the led light. Each flimsy low quality Chinese push button port has a blue light. I needed this for my new Chromebook, they only have a couple ports. Wish I would have bought the one that has the ethernet built into it.

It's pretty cheap. Within a few months the first button/port stopped working, and after a little less than a year only one port functions anymore.This is NOT with heavy use. It is in my classroom and I plug it in once at the beginning of the day and unplug once at the end. No porting it anywhere or tough use. For something that stays in the same room all the time with mild usage it certainly didn't last long.I am sure the selling point is that it is so cheap you can buy five of them for when they inevitably break, but my environmentalist heart can't get behind that practice. I'm on the lookout for something that can handle the demands of minor desk work. Sigh.

A little flaky...turn one connection on or off seems to momentarily disconnect the others. Not so good for external drives, but not a problem for keyboards and mice. Will not charge an iPad, but otherwise works fine with Mac.Updated for new model:Be aware that USB 3.0 (this xib and all other) can severely interfere with bluetooth and wifi. This is a known issue with USB 3.0 since it uses spread spectrum technology. For me, I have to plug this hub into the USB port on the left side of my MacBook Pro. When I plug it into the right side, my mouse and wifi do not work well.Another minor issue is that when used with a keyboard, the USB hub seems to go to sleep with the computer disabling the keyboard's ability to wake the computer after sleeping.

Did they really have to make it so small? I bought it with the only purpose - to be able to connect 4 thumb drives to my TV. The plan was to save my fitness videos by category to 4 separate USB flash drives and switch between them as needed. This would enable me to overcome the limitations ob the built-in player in my TV (it can see only a small number of files on a drive). Guess what? The distance between the 4 connectors is so short that USB sticks do not fit next to each other. One can only plug in 4 USB cables, but not 4 USB drives. A couple extra millimeters between the ports would've sold this problem. Now, I have to buy short extension cables to be able to achieve my goal. Why not do it right from the very beginning?Otherwise, the price is good and it is good that a hub with switches is available.

I've had this for a year now and it's starting to show signs of wear. When I connect devices they disconnect with no sign of any movement from the device or the hub. One device disconnected and then connected again while I was on the other side of the room.With my tiny Kingston jump drives it's fine, but when I connect devices via cable the hub misbehaves. I think it's just gotten very sensitive to movement, but I can't be sure.I really like the switches. Sometimes I can't tell just by the lights which one is on, but it's fairly easy to tell by looking which one is depressed, so it's all good.OK for what I paid for it, but I'm going to shop for something different this time. I would buy this one again if I couldn't find something made somewhere other than China.01/27/2015 Update: the company contacted me a couple of weeks after I wrote this review and asked for the order number. They said they would send a new one. I sent them the information and never heard from them again. Minus a star for poor service.

Barely ever used it. Moved my pc to another room. I unplugged it, set up my station, plugged it back in and it never worked again. Buy wireless.

My grandsons say it quits working right in the middle of game. Unhappy with it. First time buyer of this type of product so I wasn't sure what I was looking for.

I used it for a bit, very comfortable controller, turbo is nice, if difficult to toggle, though I didn't end up using it. One thing I noticed is that I'm pretty sure pressing down the Turbo button calls Turbo on its own button. Controller also looks very nice, exactly as advertised, light up is good, does function with both Dinput and Xinput, I had no issues with that. The only reason this review is a one star is that, within two weeks, the left thumbstick no longer functioned when pressed down (the light was also off for it), though the rest functioned. I swapped over to keyboard for that game, since that button was actually necessary, and when I plugged it in about a week later, the entire controller didn't work. The cord is fine, has no damage, the worst physical damage the controller had taken was being knocked off a stool onto carpet, but it wouldn't light up, the computer wouldn't recognize it, wouldn't even do the 'new device found' sound, and the buttons didn't work. It's a real shame, I really liked the controller, but it just barely lasted any time at all. If you want a controller, just pay the extra money for a real one. This one's got real nice features, and is great while it works, but doesn't work for very long at all. I don't particularly fancy a monthly replacement.

This controller is horrible for the fact it has huge dead zones on the analog sticks. You can't make your characters walk by slightly tilting the stick. You have to push the stick to the point where you might as well be running and you do end up shifting between walking and running. This alone was already annoying but it doesn't stop there. When I tried moving diagonally the controller would register it as a straight movement sometimes. I don't know if I had to calibrate it but I couldn't find any type of info like that in the manual. Maybe you can or can't but I wasn't going to waste my time.Although aesthetically it was nice, just invest in an official controller that you can just plug and play without issues.

Stopped working after six months

Granted I tend to push hard on controller buttons, but this thing broke on the 2nd day. The A button got permanently stuck, making it useless. I reconfigured my emulator so that the right bumper took its place, which soon after became permanently stuck as well. Looks like you have to shell out some serious cash to get a decent controller.

I bought this to use with my USB Cruzer flash drives. Unfortunately there isn't enough space between the slots to fit them. I can only use 2 - one at each end. So for my purpose this item is almost useless. The inputs should be spaced apart a little bit so you can use them. If you're using regular USB wires it'll be a tight fit but it works fine. I gave the product one star so people would know about this. If I wasn't using any flash drives, I'd give the product a 4 or 5.

I bought this because I needed a hub that would charge multiple phones at once, & it doesn't even charge one phone. The box it came in even says that I can charge multiple devices, that I can even daisy chain the hubs to charge more things, & it doesn't even charge one phone!If I have one phone attached to this hub with a cord, & plug the hub into the wall, & I run the phone all night long, the phone doesn't charge, it just stays at the same amount of battery life or even slowly loses battery life. Having that same phone plugged in the same way, but without this hub in between, & running the phone all night long, the phone charges as it should. It doesn't matter if I have the hub plugged into my computer, or directly into a wall, the result is the same. It doesn't put out enough power to charge even one phone.

Purchased the Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs (HB-UMLS). The device only worked with my flashdrive. It did not work with my keyboard and my mouse. I work on a laptop but have a mouse and keyboard that I need to connect. Anyways, the device was useless to me because it couldn't connect those devices. The product description states that accessories such as a mouse or keyboard can be connected with this hub but that is not accurate information.

Nothing plugged into this would work. Took a look at the back of the package and saw, "Some power-intense USB devices may require a AC-Powered USB hub". Well, apparently that means anything you would actually want to plug into it. Mouse, Keyboard, wireless headset receiver and three different USB thumb drives wouldn't work in any of the ports.Well, fair enough, I can see how modern devices may require more power. It has a power port, what sort of AC adapter do I need to get? There is no input/output power information on the packaging or on the device model/serial number. So an AC adapter is a no-go.I tried plugging it into different USB ports (case ports in front are powered differently than the ports on your motherboard or back of the PC) and was able to get a ping for the wireless adapter, but the device was unrecognized by windows. All other devices didn't even register in the windows Device Manager.

I originally gave this product a great review, because for the first month or so I owned it it was fine. Lately though, it's started disrupting the connection with the devices I have plugged into it. I went to a forum to troubleshoot and someone suggested that I tape it to the table so it wouldn't wiggle around so much. I thought that it was a bit ridiculous to have to do that but fine, I needed to be able to use my devices so I went ahead and did that. STILL breaks connection after 2 minutes or less. The shaking from typing on my laptop causes the connection to break. I have stopped using it altogether because I have a hard disc with a lot of data and a few other things plugged into it, and don't want my data to get corrupted....It my seem fine at first, but DO NOT get this product, it's a dud.

I Got Defective ProductI plugged in my USB but it did not show on my computerUsb Hub was plugged in for 1 minutesPlastic Started to meltI removed the plastic and the board was hotWhen i measured it with thermeter it came out as 276/268 FWhich is burning pointI burnt my finger doing this testAnd I was Able to get Refund
