Question 1

Is the cord long enough to reach to the back of a desktop?

Accepted Answer

The cord is exactly 1' long... unless the USB port is near the edge of the desktop where you would envision sitting the hub, it's probably on the short side for your need.

I use it with a laptop, and am mobile much of the time.... for these purposes, it works well.

Question 2

Can hub be used with a wireless keyboard and mouse?

Accepted Answer

That shouldn't be a problem, though mine are wired, it would be unlikely that you would experience any connectivity problems. This seems to be a reasonably well made product.

Question 3

Will it work in series with a USB 2.0 hub with the understanding that the fastest speed will be limited to 2.0's ability?

Accepted Answer

Mine does work when connected to a USB2.0 port on my PC. Your question asks if it will work when connected to a HUB, so I gather you want to connect one hub to another. I don't know how well that will work, particularly with a power-hungry device.

Out of curiosity, I just hooked my 3.0 hub up to a POWERED USB 2.0 hub. Win7 Identifies the HooToo as a generic hub. I can access devices connected to it, but haven't done any tests to determine throughput.

My suggestion is that if you're going to "daisy chain" one hub to another, make sure that the first one in line is a POWERED hub.

Best wishes!
