I ´m sorry if this has been already discussed. I was using search, but couldn´t find exact answer on my question. The question is, does using of USB headset and usb keyboard on a USB-C hub affects latency on keyboard? The hub is Logilink, 3 USB ports and a cardreader. I have been using it for months and I didn´t have problems, however I had some feeling that couple of times during gaming or typing I experienced some minimal lag/latency. But that could be also my subjective feeling.

All devices connected to a hub share power and bandwidth with a port hub is connected to, that includes card reader even with a card in it. So yes it could affect mice and keyboard latency.
 
Ok, thanks for your opinion. I have today just experienced these micro lags 2 more times, eventhough the keyboard was directly plugged in in USB port. It could be that that USB-C hub ain´t responsible for that indeed. However I let the keyboard directly plugged in in my laptop´s USB port. The machine has 4 USB ports, 3 are now taken (mouse, keyboard and an external hdd), always-on USB port is free, and USB-C hub is used for my headset.
