There are hundreds, if not thousands of USB hubs available on the market today. Some are shaped like animals, robots, or have some sort of other fancy function, like warming a cup of coffee. However, the inevitable problem that you will face has nothing to do with the functionality of the hub, but with your ability to put the male plug into the USB port right side up.
For those of us that find this horrendously frustrating, now is the time for celebration, as Buffalo has developed a hub that will never let that happen again. No more squinting to see if you’re putting it in right side up the first time or not, as this hub will take either plastic part up or down. This is really the first of its kind as far as a USB hub goes. It comes in blue, black, white, and pink, all for the rather reasonable price of $23.
