Wireless dongle in USB hub

[Berko142]

Hey, I want to get myself a USB hub for my wireless devices. Can you guys recommend me one and should I put e.g. my mouse dongle into an usb hub or would I get issues in terms of latency or something else as its not connected directly to the mobo. Thanks in advance

A hub does increase latency.  If it’s enough to matter though is another question.  It’s enough to matter for some types of fast storage.  Conventional wisdom is that it shouldn’t be enough to matter for a mouse but conventional wisdom predates esports.

Thanks for the reply, I actually just got myself a b550 gaming plus from msi so i will have 2 more usb ports and maybe wont need the hub. Thanks for helping though
