Yeah they're called USB Hubs and you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon/Ebay or whatever.Quote:

Yes, they will.
Most adapters even come with *optional* external power supply so you could quite literally plug 50 USB peripherals in at once :P
Just bought a 7 hub usb + a sound card usb for 5£ from china
niceee
Yeah, USB hubs are awesome, especially for laptops. Good for desktops too, if for some reason you run out of USB ports
I used to utilize them all the time many years ago when it wasn't the norm for laptops to come equipped with three, four or even more USB ports built in.Quote:

Exactly. A single hub is inexpensive and works wonders for laptops. Back in the day when I had my laptop, I had two four-port USB hubs just to be on the safe side.Quote:
