Hmm not sure how they did that COM port detection thing and I wonder how it deals with Unix like systems. Makes me want to build my own version of this.


> A small application running on the host computer extracts USB information from the operating system and sends it to the Hub over USB.

I guess they have an "agent" running on the OS.


Pretty nifty idea, surprised that it’s USB-A for the downstream ports. I don’t want to be negative but for me at least, I’ve been trying to convert as many of my cables to USB-C as possible, probably makes it a harder sell…
