I'm in the UK so the nVidia shield tablet hasn't come out yet but i know it's out in the US some hopefully someone can help me.

I wan't to plug in a keyboard, mouse and a controller while charging the Shield tab, is this possible? If so which 4 port USB hubs do you recommend?

This one looks good but I'm not sure http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-4-Port-Travel-Hub/dp/B005GLDAVE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407018135&sr=8-1&keywords=4+port+usb+hub

 

Thanks

The one you linked looks good. As long as you read the reviews, and it's not a cheap knock off, you should be fine

But would it work if I plugged in a K70 keyboard and a M65 mouse and a wired xbox 360 controller while charging it in the other port?

I think you'll send to much power to your connected devices. You have to choose to either charge the tabet or use a USB port.

It's not a Microsoft Surface line tablet where they have a full size USB port for connecting devices, with a seperate power connector.

you need an on the go connector thingy.

 

besides, keyboards and mice aren't very good with Android in my experience.

Compatible with Windows 95

If you're trying to drive that many devices from the tablet, you might need a powered USB hub
