MadMav24 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I am wondering if using a powered USB hub makes a difference with the power that the yoke, throttle quadrant, peddals, etc. draws?

mrzippy Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I would doubt that the USB powered items would draw more power. The powered hub will deliver constant, uninterrupted power to each device. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 You can check your input device amperage draw in their specification sheets. You will find them drawing minuscule amps in most cases unless they have force feedback motors. Most USB ports will supply at least one amp which is enough for all three. Having said that, I use a ORICO A3H4-V1 4 port powered hub with a 2 amp power supply more for convenience of having the ports right up front and a power button.
