Boynq Haspel 4-port USB Hub Review

Unfortunately the Haspel curves on the back, so it doesn’t lay flat. If you are just plugging in small flash drives or other cables that lead away from the Haspel, it’s fine. I plugged in the Boynq D’Light USB Lamp and it promptly fell over. Since many gadgets are small, I don’t imagine many buyers having this problem. I was annoyed that it wouldn’t stay upright though.

The retractable cord is helpful, but a pain in the butt. If you have large fingers, you will find grasping the tiny knob very difficult, and turning it to be impossible. Again, this is where the weapon uses of the Haspel come in handy; you can hold the USB jack and throw the Haspel at someone without having to retrieve your weapon afterwards. Almost like a sick yoyo.

No complaints about the USB speed. With three gadgets and a printer plugged in, each worked great. My iPod received files just as quickly, and big PDF files from my flash drive were uploaded immediately.

Small enough to fit in a side compartment in a laptop case; the Boynq Haspel USB hub will make a great addition to any nerd’s stocking loot. With holiday specials listing the Haspel at under ten bucks, this hub is a great deal.
