How do USB Powered hubs decide to share loads between hosts and PSU?

<< < (3/3)

Musclor:
Taking it apart is actually a brilliant idea, because I've stopped using in prod anyways as it was behaving badly:
a) at each button press to switch hosts, it would power off and on each device, meaning that for devices like the vortex pok3r LED or programmable mice, it was back to 'profile #1' and having to do a little dance each time i switched hosts
b) despite grabbing FAR LESS than it could from each host, and FAR , FAR less than it could from the PSUs, it would actually turn off power to the pok3r led keyboard and rapidly turn it off and on for no reason, and that can't be good under any scenario

Very disappointing product considering how expensive it was, I've given up completely on USB hubs now and am using NX to type this on my mac remoting from my kali install. Much nice setup with a stable power supply to each device.
