So I'm about to buy a new keyboard. Right now, I'm just using the keyboard that is on my laptop, but this gets annoying with gaming, so it's time to upgrade.
But the problem is, I also use a usb mouse and the Razer Tartarus. I really want either the Corsair K95 or the Razer Blackwidow chroma. But the thing is, my laptop only has three usb ports. So my question today is, can a usb hub supply efficient power to these devices to be able to use them properly?

Yeah it will, The corsair one has 2 usb ports, so you need a usb3.0 hub if you only want 1 usb port plugged in, otherwise usb2.0 ports are fine.

Please, follow your own posts and mention me in comments, otherwise i won't be able to help you.

Thanks so much! :D

I was going to just google it, but I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else was having the same issues
