Living in my own soup, as I do, I’m familiar with these (vaguely available) facts: lack of information does not imply stupidity.

Not always and sometimes you will also find (at least with PCs) that physical connections on the PC are actually on the same host so no different than using an external hub. Things like docking stations may give actual additional ports on a different host of the chipset. Fine for all the less critical components to be connected to one hub on a port/host and then you have one which may be time-critical or want high transfer (MIDI device or hard drive) connected to the other.Īlso bear in mind that if you have a 1.1 device connected to a 2.0 hub it will force everything connected on it to run at 1.1 speed even if 2.0 devices!
But you have a choice and have to pay the difference, rather than being forced to whatever Apple have decided to release!īut still it’s only a hub, which is putting extra strain on the host that bus is connected to.
You can get USB keyboards for the PC with hubs which are 1.1 or 2.0 you just have to be aware of what you are buying. USB2.0 has been around since 2000 so that is 7 years of them doing exactly what you say they don’t! “The USB keyboard is also combined with a two-port USB hub, with the hub being USB 1.1 on older keyboards and USB 2.0 on the August 2007 model.” Up until August 2007 the hub was 1.1 so it’s not as stupid thinking as you seem to want to imply! Did I know how long you’ve owned it?
