How many USB devices...

DonkeyStyle \o/

...do you have connected to your PC right now.

I'm sure we could all max out our USB ports with devices we have sitting around, but as a measure of the ones you use as a regular fixture of your PC setup, I'll specify the "right now" bit, just to keep it handy.

I've got 6 at the moment, that never get unplugged.
1. Mouse
2. Scanner
3. Printer/scanner combo
4. Webcam
5. IR receiver for a remote control
6. Joypad

No point to this really, it's little more than a gratuitous "show us your desktop" thread... just out of curiosity.

Dell 30inch Monitor (Card reader, and 4 port hub)
Behringer 67 Key MIDI Keyboard
Flight Sim pedals, and control yoke (Professional jobbie)
Bluetooth dongle
All in one Printer
Behringer Xenyx Mixing Desk

I think that's about it.

Usually there would be 4 usb slots taking up on the mobo and the case has 2 extra on the front panel. Everything I use is usb. The bro has about 15 usb devices plugged in and there are 4 usb ports in the old nokia monitor he has.

LMAO
I wonder how that one came about... were they setting out to make a regular USB hub and found it ran a bit hot?
"duuaahh, well... that's to keep your coffee warm! see?"
I think my brother has a Coffee Cup warmer with a DSL router built in... must tell him about this hidden dual function.

I had thought of buying a usb cup warmer, but realized I'd gotten used to drinking room-temperature coffee.

Yeah my Dell monitor has 4 usb ports, so very handy, but as far as I can tell it isn't a self-powered hub... which strikes me as a bit odd tbh

I also have a USB PlayStation controller adaptor, but I unplug it when I'm not using it as the lights stay on (even when the PC's turned off ). I have an external hard disk but I'm using FireWire with that.

USB 1.1 hub out of the €2 shop providing 4 ports
Card reader connected to the ATX USB ports onboard.

Six in total.

I have a pen drive, basic Mp3 player and am planning to buy a printer at some point, which will probably be USB as well.

tman

Only my mouse at the moment...
I suppose the iPod cable is a permanent fixture as well, but other than that everything else just gets slotted into one of the front usb ports whenever I need it.

Okay, it was 20, and two free on my keyboard's built in hub, but today I'd to buy a 7 port Hub, of which all will be used, so that's 27 ports, and two free on the back of the keyboard :rolleyes:
