Good USB HUB 3.0 for USB-A port that doesn't interfere or introduce lag for wireless mouse and keyboard ? (kbin.social)

Had been searching and saw some comments for products where people were saying they were getting lag with their wireless mouse. So wondered if there's a product people have had luck with.

I have my USB-C ports already occupied, and would rather rely on USB-A.

Edit: USB 3.0 seems to be what has caused issues for some people, so I decided to go with a cheap USB 2.0 hub due to using it for wireless peripherals and printer as opposed to transferring data.

I have never heard of a USB hub/docking station introducing latency

I thought so too, but plugging in my logitech 2.4 ghz dongle directly into my macmini led to bunch of skipping until I used my monitor USB. So led me to wondering if that was something to look out for when picking up a dongle hub too.

And sure enough searching for the keyword wireless for this product led to people saying they got lag with their peripherals.

USB-C and USB 3.1 comms can create a lot of RF noise which could manifest as lag. I saw this on a laptop with an external hard drive, when the backups were running the wifi died.
