Advice on USB hubs for Windows PC please

Hello all.

I’d like to try running a couple of extra USB things from my Windows laptop (probably an extra midi controller and a USB to DMX cable) which would entail using some sort of small USB hub.

I’ve always been a bit nervous of using USB hubs on Windows and before I dive into it wondered if anyone had any basic advice about what to go for and anything I should or shouldn’t do when trying to set things up to keep everything as reliable as possible. Many thanks for any help!

I’ve been using this one for a while now.

I bought Microsofts newest one. It is a mix of thunderbolt and others. I’m very pleased with and it powers everything including my Surface Pro 9.
