USB Hub questions

Coldris

I currently have more peripherals than my computer allows (eg. Xbox controller adapter, wifi dongle, etc) and was wondering if buying a 7-port usb hub would be a good idea, and if it would have enough bandwidth to run (and power) a keyboard, mouse, headset, wifi dongle and xbox adapter.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Coldris

You would be limited by the single USB port I would recommend to have the USB wifi and such devices dedicated to a USB port on the board only for that device and have the others on the hub. You can get power USB hub however if you have heavier power draw devices.
