Had been searching and saw some comments for products where people were saying they were getting lag with their wireless mouse. So wondered if there’s a product people have had luck with.

I have my USB-C ports already occupied, and would rather rely on USB-A.

Edit: USB 3.0 seems to be what has caused issues for some people, so I decided to go with a cheap USB 2.0 hub due to using it for wireless peripherals and printer as opposed to transferring data.

    I think you confused what I said- the dongle is the thing that comes with the mouse that plugs into the usb port. You were asking about hubs. I think people are saying it isn’t the hub that matters. The interference is wireless between the dongle and the mouse, not wired (between the hub and computer over usb).

    That means any hub you wanna get is probably fine. Or you could just use a usb extender cable for the dongle to free up a port on your display. Since there are MANY hubs out there, many many, I would just recommend picking one with the port and power config you want that has good ratings. There are literally too many to recommend a specific- hundreds of options.

    Personally I’d go with something that delivers decent power for charging devices and maybe a mix of type A and C connectors.

      Seen reviews for some where interference occurred. Like this hub for instance doesn’t seem good despite reviews for wireless use based on keyword search https://www.amazon.com/uni-Aluminum-Adapter-Ultra-Slim-Compatible/dp/B08M3ZY8SZ

      Seems to be when there isn’t proper shielding for usb 3.0 which is why I asked for recommendations, since would prefer to be able to stick in the 2.4 ghz dongles without needing an additional extension to the hub.

      Was why I was wondering if people had specific recommendations for products that worked for them, since some reviews have mentioned in comments that it gave them issues with their wireless peripherals, so instead of just picking some random one was just asking community for ones that had worked for them.

      Did get some suggestions of actual used products here, so will check those out.
