What customers say
This four port USB hub is highly valued by experienced Raspberry Pi Zero users for expanding connectivity while preserving the device's small size. It successfully transforms the single micro USB port into four usable connections, proving essential for multi-peripheral projects like gaming setups or IoT servers. Users praise its reliability once integrated. However, the primary drawback is the installation. Connecting directly to test points requires precise soldering or pogo pins, creating a significant barrier for beginners. Furthermore, while it handles low-draw devices well, external power is often necessary for peripherals that draw more current, adding a layer of setup complexity. It is a powerful niche solution, provided the user can navigate the technical setup.
