cesium Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I am getting a K95 back in RMA in a few days, and I will be without my desktop for a few weeks so am using my Surface Pro 3 as my main computer. There's only one USB port (3.0) in the machine, and so I am wondering: 1. is there is a USB hub or expander that is known to work well with the K95? 2. as I'm looking, is it necessary to get a powered USB hub? 3. should I avoid USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's best to ask Corsair Technical Support and see what they say. It's probably better to get a powered USB hub as the keyboard will probably use most of the USB port's power but see what the representative says. You can call them using Skype by calling their toll-free number on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesium Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Unfortunately Corsair support was not of any help. I went ahead and purchased a USB 3.0 hub (3 port with Ethernet), and it works perfectly fine with the K95. I have my mouse plugged into the K95 as well, and there are no issues. This is the hub I bought: http://www.amazon.com/HooToo%C2%AE-Ethernet-Converter-Indicator-HT-UE01/dp/B00CKIFPQY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
