Do USB Hubs Work with Dock Keyboard USB Port?

Do USB Hubs work with dock keyboard USB port?

IF I want to plug in an external hard drive for example, IT may need 2 USB ports..

OR if I want to plug in 2 xbox controllers.

Anyone tested this?

I answered your thread on this at TFF yesterday:

USB hubs work, however....

It will only mount one USB drive if you hook 2 up to the port. It is possible to mount the 2nd, but it involved rooting and a bunch of terminal commands.

If your USB drive has 2 ports, it needs the 2nd one for power. Using a hub will not increase the power output from the single port unless it is a powered (plugged into the wall) USB port.

It may work for xbox controllers, but you will have to test it out.
