So I have this USB hub, and so far has been working well with some USB controllers and a GC adapter.
Yesterday it sometimes disconnected my controllers when playing Smash Ultimate, it did that 2 or 3 times then I unplugged the port for rumble and worked fine. So I looked around my house and found a AC adapter with multiple voltages and with a compatible connector, my question is: for a 7 port USB hub what would be the recommended voltage?

All pc usb hubs without their own power supply are 5V only(if it just has a usb plug that plugs into pc). If it has it's own power input/adapter, a barrel plug for example, it MAY? be 12V. Is there a label on the hub at all?
if it has 2 usb plugs, one can be plugged into a cell phone charger, and the other to usb.

You need Amperage not voltage probably, so a 2A 5V supply should do it.

It has no label, but it has an adapter where I can plug an AC adapter. It's a cheap hub that I found in a Mexican flea market... But has worked pretty good so far!

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
