Usb hub input lag

A hub can change behavior under power or load, but one browser timing sample cannot quantify its hardware delay.

Run the check

  1. Record a baseline with the device directly connected.

  2. Repeat through the hub with the same app, tab, and device setting.

  3. Add the usual hub load and check for disconnects or large pauses.

Read the result

Repeatable dropouts matter more than a tiny difference in browser timestamps.

Limits and next step

Scheduling noise prevents a reliable sub-millisecond hub latency verdict.

Repeat the check after changing one setting or connection. Keep a record of what changed before deciding whether the device needs service.
