USB hub for Xbox 360?

Feek · 23-09-2009, 15:51

I know that any USB hub will work with an Xbox 360 and in fact I have a small one connected but it doesn't particularly blend in with the console, the USB ports are all on the back and it's all a bit rubbish.

Is there a USB hub that's designed to go with a 360 in that it will sit nicely next to the console, have the ports on the front and just look 'right' ?

I'm in the process of a tidy up under the telly and just want it to all go together.

Actually something has just occurred to me.

Does a USB hub plugged into an Xbox 360 need to be powered?

Concerning your second question yes and no is the answer

Rock Band BIAB came with a USB hub with supplied power adapter so I'd assume you would need power. However with a controller plugged in it seemed to work ok

As for an actual hub that will blend? No idea

What are you looking to plug in that's wired?

I have a controller, the SceneIt! receiver (I think that's USB), a guitar, camera thing and a play'n'charge doofer. The bottom USB port on the front of the Xbox itself doesn't seem to work so I can't be using that one

Scene It! receiver should be plugged in the back anyway

You do seem to have rather a lot to plug in though

Surely it shouldn't make any difference whether it goes directly into the console or via a hub?
