usb

I have an Acer Aspire 5 (model N18Q13), and I would like to use two monitors with it. However, I ran to some problems when I found out that my USB-C apparently does not support video output. This laptop has one 3.1 USB, two 2.01 USB, and one 2.0 USB-C, none of them supports video output...

Hello SIRS!! I recently built a gaming PC, and noticed that I experience (what feel like) differing latency on Scuf controller, depending on which USB port I use AND how many of the other USB ports are occupied. I've recently discovered that all of my USB Ports go through the chipset instead...

So recently I had this issue where the USB devices only would work in the Bios and recovery environment, but then it's sorta fixed itself. But it is back, and it started when I plugged in a new keyboard and mouse - therefore o found out that the old one still works, but how do I make it so I can...

I am experiencing an issue where my devices, when plugged into seemingly any powered usb hub, will drop out, repeat inputs, etc. E.G.: keyboard will repeat a letter until i hit another key. With some of the hubs I've tried, external hard drives will drop out and Windows will report that it can't...

Hi! There is loads of usb "GPU" adapters out there. Now i wonder, if it is possible to use three 1080p 60hz adapters, and use them for multimedia displays (Gaming wont be done on these displays, so latency wont be a problem.) The main problem is, that my pc is 6m+ away from me, and running usb...

So, at some point in the future, my AM4 will be replaced, and this got me thinking, is it not time we removed the audio sockets from motherboards and cases. They have served their purpose from the infancy of audio on PC's but surely, we should now move on to something better, now this may be USB...

I have a USB 3 NVME enclosure that is supposed to have RGB functionality. The hardware ID I get from Windows is USB\VID_0BDA&PID_9210&REV_F001 The only color I see is red, and it blinks while being accessed. Does anyone know of a firmware that I could install to restore the RGB functionality?

Hello friends, I would like help identifying a computer hardware part and/or locating where to buy it. I used to have a great place here in Brooklyn called CablesOnline (even though the name says online, they had a great shop in Bay Ridge). However, I need to be pointed in the correct direction...

Hey team, need some help I'm at a loss- can't seem to get this one figured out. I've got multiple keyboards (both tested in other machines, no errors or weirdness at all) that stop working randomly in Windows. Or at least, mostly randomly. I get a Windows "Device Not Recognized" error, even if...

I spilled a small bit of soda on the top of my PC, since it was so little I used compressed air to push it out before it would drip and damage anything. It sounds stupid but it was the first thing that came to mind. It seemed like nothing had changed and it was running fine until my computer...

Hi, Two of my USB ports are no longer working after I used them to connect the DAC from my SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless headset. They worked just fine for weeks, but then out of nowhere the power to all USB's seems to cut and all my USB devices stop working for like 5 seconds. This happened...

Just purchased a new Samsung 4TB T9 SSD. I have it connected via USB-C into a 20gb port on my new PC. When I first started using it, I was able to transfer a 6GB movie file from my internal SSD onto the T9 in about 10 seconds. So after that I began to copy over a lot of my personal files. Then...

I've been encountering several issues with my PC, tried countless solutions and yet to find one that works for any. I believe they could be related but possible they aren't. The first issue I encountered is that occasionally, normally once or twice a day, all of my peripherals plugged into the...

I have a Logitech G915 TKL Wireless Keyboard and a Logitech G Pro Wireless Mouse. When I go to plug them in at night to charge, I always find that my keyboard is fully charged while my mouse barely charges. Both are plugged into USB 3.2 type A ports (the blue ports). I was wondering if there...

I’m having an issue with my desktop tower. I have a USB drive, Logitech keyboard-mouse set with a single wireless receiver for both, and a USB WiFi adapter. I’ve been getting some odd behavior. The USB drive works fine as far as I can tell, but my mouse and keyboard have noticeable lag (this...

A few months ago, a very brief power outage occurred while I was using Windows 10. It lasted less than a second and when I turned my computer on again, it booted into Ubuntu, which was installed on an old HDD that I rarely used, instead of my Windows SSD, which used to be the default boot...
