Can a USB splitter/Hub be used to add a third accessory?
« on: December 31, 2021, 04:49:15 AM »
I have a wired mouse, wired keyboard, and a Logitech g29 wheel. I have been trying to plug in the mouse and keyboard into a USB splitter and plugging the USB splitter into slot 2. Then plugging the wheel into slot three. The wheel works in this arrangement but the keyboard and mouse do not. The laser on the mouse doesn?t even turn on, and the keyboard and mouse do not show up in the app, just the wheel and ?USB hub?. Is there a way for me to use a keyboard, a mouse, and a wheel at the same time? Or are there hardware/software limitations in the ReaSnow that make this impossible? I do believe I am one or two software updates behind, but nothing in the patch notes talks about a feature like that, so I haven?t updated it yet.

you need a USB 2.0 hub, not a USB splitter.
