Kensington USB 2.0 4-Port Hub

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £19 ex-VAT, this Kensington USB 2.0 4‑port hub is a pretty sensible “just works” add-on if you need extra USB-A ports and don’t care about speed. It’s the kind of thing I’d keep in an office spares drawer for docking oddities, legacy peripherals, and situations where you’re plugging in low-bandwidth kit (keyboards, mice, dongles, printers/scanners that aren’t streaming data). Kensington is usually reliable on the “won’t disappear in Windows” front, and the brand tends to mean fewer driver/compatibility surprises.

That said, it’s USB 2.0, so I wouldn’t buy this for anything that needs throughput (external drives, card readers doing fast transfers, video capture, big backups). It’ll also feel a bit pointless in 2026 if most of your environment is USB-C focused—this is for people who have USB-A ports to spare and just need expansion. If you’re building a modern desk setup, you’ll likely get better value by stepping up to a faster hub (or at least something that matches your device mix). If your use case is “extra USB-A ports, cheap and dependable,” then this is a fair purchase.
