January 9, 20215 yr I'm running MSFS with a Thrustmaster Hotas (throttle and T.1600m stick), each of these has its own cable with usb, its a bit cluttered at the front of my pc with these plugged in. I,m considering running a short usb extension from the back of the pc terminating with a hub on my desk. Does anyone know if this would work ok please? in.

January 9, 20215 yr I read somewhere once that these hubs can cause a delay for controls. Perhaps there are better quality ones than others? I too am interested in this, as all of my PCs ports are used right now and it would be nice to have the option of more. I have held off from a hub because I wasn't sure it would work.
January 9, 20215 yr I have a USB hub setup with the T16000M and TWCS with my gaming laptop running MSFS and no issues so far. There are many good ones on the market, mine is a Sabrent with 4 USB connections and a external power supply.

January 9, 20215 yr I have a Thrustmaster Warthog and rudder pedals (trusty Thrusty) and run the three USB control cables from my TM controls (mounted on my seat) to a USB3 hub on the top edge of my desk. No problems and I have been doing it for years.

January 9, 20215 yr I’ve used a powered USB hub for a long time (couldn’t imagine not having it actually) and have never had an issue with latency or anything else. Beyond expanding the number of devices you can plug in, it keeps them more easily within reach if you need to unplug anything (for me that’s primarily my USB headset).

January 9, 20215 yr I use a powered USB2 hub with my controllers, no issues. In fact it was required to solve noise issues that the CH products USB devices had with my motherboard ports. Any latency due to a properly working USB hub is going to be tiny. Edit: Here's some data - the "too long didn't watch" is that in over 40 hours of testing even using old junky USB2 hubs, there was no measurable delta in response time with a hub.

Works great! My hub has a seperate power supply, but I think that's just for the two ports that can be used as chargers. The rest work just fine anyway.
