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.

If plugging in directly causes interference, but using your monitors USB hub doesn’t that’s contradictory to your theory of hubs introducing lag,

I never said my usb hub was introducing lag. Nomenclature may be incorrect, but it's just some words people have used to basically say interference. I was asking for recommendations on usb dongles people use that have been reliable, since some product reviews have shown issues with wireless peripherals.

I don't know if this is relevant, but might explain why not all usb hubs will be problem free.
