Comment on How many USB hubs can you daisy-chain to a single port?

Huh, that’s interesting. That might be exactly the cause of the issue I was having with them (plugging in 2.4Ghz keyboards and mice into them).

I worked around that by plugging in a usb2 extension cable that came with something I bought and placing the 2.4ghz transceiver maybe 2-3’ away from the hub. Same deal with the mouse and keyboard, they need to be a reasonable distance (some # of inches) away from USB 3 signals.

Gunna have to experiment with this, however my PC is set up next to our sofa so the distances might not work out.

I had a hub on my desk next to my monitor so I just ran the extension up the back of the monitor and fixed it in place near the top edge. That was enough distance (maybe 18-20in now that I think about it) to resolve the interference. If you play around a bit you might find that even 10in is enough distance. Try a USB 2 extension cable too, that’ll keep v3 signalling at a distance.
