Anyone that has used two computers at the same time with limited desk space knows that it can be a hassle trying to manage a pair of keyboards and mice. I've found myself in this situation several times in recent months. I have two computers at my desk: one for everyday tasks, website work, etc. and the other strictly for hardware testing. I use dual 22" widescreen monitors with my main system and a 17" monitor for my test system. Living in a small apartment, I am cramped for space as it is. I currently use a wireless keyboard and mouse on the test system, which does provide some freedom but you run out of desk space quickly with two keyboards and two mice.

I had pretty much settled on this cluttered system... that is, until I came across the Ultra Products 7 Port USB Buddy Hub. This USB hub seemed to be the answer to all of my problems and would leave me with a much cleaner workstation. I contacted Ultra Products and a few weeks later, the Buddy Hub arrived for testing. Will this hub really solve all of my problems? Read on to find out!



The Buddy Hub arrived in this brightly colored clamshell package. The hub is visible on through the front, with some specs and a description on the back as well as a list of package contents. Below is a list of features and also an illustration, borrowed from Ultra's website.
