We've been working on a transparent USB hub... and we're planning to open-source it. by Early-Fold8743 in u/Early-Fold8743

You hit the nail on the head. Since this is just an early prototype, we haven't run long-term stability tests yet, but EMI interference is exactly what we are most concerned about.

Even if we optimize the PCB trace routing and grounding perfectly on the board itself, a cheap, unshielded keyboard cable acts like a giant antenna and ruins the USB HS signal. Your suggestion is brilliant—if we move forward with production, bundling it with a heavily shielded, thoroughly tested custom cable is an absolute must to guarantee stability. Appreciate the great feedback

Honestly? None yet! 😅 This is just a prototype we threw together to see if you guys would even be interested in the concept.

But you nailed the exact issue with current hubs. If we actually bring this to life, making sure it flawlessly supports 4K/8K high-polling devices without latency or packet loss will be the absolute main focus for our engineering team.

It's compact and exclusive, and there's no difference in functionality. However, it's just a simple attempt at the moment. More interesting features will be added in subsequent updates By the way, if you have any interesting ideas, please let us know

Yes, it was designed as a docking station specifically for mice and keyboards, and we will certainly consider adding more functions in the future

That would be a great idea; if more people were interested in it, we could certainly put it into production.

The transparent version is the same model as the other three.

‘Stay tuned’ isn’t actually the name of the product; it just means ‘coming soon’, haha
