Switches, LEDs, USB C connector make this hub a nice upgrade
It's important for me to be able to turn my camera, microphone, backup drives, etc., off when not in use. Thanks to the switching on this hub, that's an easy task, without having to plug and unplug the USB cables. My previous hubs required a USB 3 to USB C adapter, which could come loose and cause problems like losing the connection. Since this goes direct to the USB C port on my laptop, it doesn't have that problem easier. The LED lights make it easy to see which ports are turned on, although there is some bleed between them. The brightness of actually being turned on compensates for that little issue, though. All in all, a nice improvement at a good price!

Fun to listen and learn
I picked up this set of CDs to brush up for a trip to South America, and listened to it mostly in my car during long drives. I liked the tone of the speakers and the inclusion of background noise in some of the dialogues for the practice. Also the breakdown by topic of interest made it easy to skip over parts that were of less importance to me while focusing on replaying the sections that were most relevant. It gives the Spanish first in the vocabulary followed by the English, which forces you to learn your recognition more quickly; that made things a little more difficult at first, but I soon came to appreciate it. Anyway, this I found it to be a useful, well-organized, and easy to use audio CD series.

Holds tight, doesn't slip
We're using it to hold our runners down on the carpet to reduce wear. I've used a lot of 1" velcro strips and been disappointed but this 2" stuff really holds up.
