Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Yes, you'll need to, in order for CAM to see it and allow manipulation of the display atop the pump block.

What you need for this is a USB2 Header Splitter, like this

https://www.amazon.com/HanCenDa-Splitter-Extension-Connector-Motherboard/dp/B0BTHHCQF2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25H3Z9ZS63ELM&keywords=usb+header+splitter&qid=1680884706&sprefix=usb+header,aps,121&sr=8-1&th=1

Note it can be obtained with either 2 or 4 output headers from one single mobo header.

This device really is a form of passive USB2 Hub, except that it operates on both ports of a header and had outputs in the form of mobo headers instead of like a common external USB2 Hub with Type A ports. That means that all of the devices plugged into this have to share the data transfer capabilities of the original two USB2 ports of the mobo header. This is NOT a problem when you are using it for several low-speed devices like keyboards, mice, or communication with ARGB lighting control devices as you are trying to do.
