Most of my mice still have usb 1.1 as well as many of they keyboards so I couldn't use them on this.

I would be very surprised if this doesn't still work with USB 1.1 devices, wording of this article notwithstanding.

Yeah they probably would work fine. But let's face it, if you need a device like this, you're using a very expensive modern mobile device... I don't think a cheap new mouse would blow your budget! You could even spring for a newfangled "wireless" mouse. FUTURE!

At worst this is a simple stop gap. All your old accessories work until you WANT to upgrade. You are no longer forced into it.

So are those three Type-A ports (and what looks like 1 Type-C) USB 3.1 Gen 2 or Gen 1? I can't tell from the pictures or the article.

P.S. I also hate that we even have a "Gen 1" - should have all been what was named Gen 2 from the outset.
