@fribbledom Damn! I only have 2 ports, and I only use 2 ports. On my laptop. I don't have a desk so using a hub is probably not going to happen for me.

Two ports for my keyboard

Drawing Tablet
Xbox Controller

@fribbledom

@fribbledom
Oldschool - 4 ports, 2 in use: cabled mouse and keyboard...90s f*** yeah 😅

@fribbledom Hmm, I have 3 ports on my laptop (and probably a few dozens on my docking station).

I use only one (for my wireless mouse) but I‘d use another one for my keyboard - if my boss would finally buy me one.

Every now and then I connect an usb-stick or a phone, maybe twice a year. So 4 ports would be more than enough.

@fribbledom Going by memory:
USB stick on a port in the case
On a hub with individually switchable ports:
Scanner (off)
Dongle for keyboard and mouse
Bluetooth dongle (possibly off)
Headphones (off)
Pen tablet
Printer (off)

I don't think I need more at the moment.

@fribbledom
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- external 6TB USB drive
- external DVD-RW drive
- Xbox One controller
- unused USB cable (for quick connecting my phone)
- USB Wifi adapter

@fribbledom
It's a laptop, so there's lots of internal stuff that's technically USB, but physically:
* USB-C dongle, which has:
** Ethernet cable
** HDMI cable to Monitor
** USB-A hub, which has:
*** Keyboard
*** USB headset
*** Wacom tablet
and a Lightning cable that's not plugged into one of the two currently-empty USB-A ports at this instant, but likely will be later this afternoon.

I'm pretty OK with this port count; maybe a 2nd USB-C port with power delivery would be nice?

@fribbledom
-keyboard
-mouse (hub in keyboard)
-2tb external drive

-Card reader
Have 6 USB2 ports and 4 USB3 on the motherboard.

@fribbledom At work: keyboard, trackball, mouse (for other people at my computer), headset, phone when charging.

@fribbledom

- keyboard

@fribbledom using three slots:

- two external monitors

@fribbledom two

I've never had the issue of running out of USB ports, well only on an old ThinkPad and the problem there is the ports are too close together so it blocks multiple devices in many instances. My usual issue, on desktops at least, is overloading a particular usb controller so a device doesn't get enough power. Even on my new motherboard I need to split devices between USB 2, 3 and 3.1 to not overload them.

@fribbledom

4 internal ports + 4 port hub

Int:
- Hub
- Blue Yeti
- YubiKey
- External SSD

Ext:
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- Phone Dock
- <empty>

I wish I had 8-12 internal ports but then the Mac Mini would look ridiculous haha

@fribbledom work PC, but I have 5 devices spread across 1 hub. Except for the external monitor (Thunderbolt over USB Type-C), all of them are just for charging/debugging wireless devices.

@fribbledom

It‘s just three things currently.

- ext hdd
- webcam
- nodemcu

However, the SD card reader is integrated in my thunderbolt dock where everything is connected.

@fribbledom

I've got Logitech and Steam controller dongles on the front, and mouse, keyboard, logilink hdd reader thing, and a USB hub in the back. The USB hub extends to my "desk cable station"

@fribbledom Hmm..
- Mouse
- Gamepad
and WiFi USB Adapter

I count 4 ports at front and 6 at back. More that enough for my current needs.

@fribbledom At work just one USB-C cable from the monitor to the MacBook. The monitor has an integrated hub and combines display, network and power via that single cable.

@fribbledom Just one, my keyboard. Only two USB ports, one plugged into a hub built into one of my displays so I can actually plug my keyboard in.

I really wish I had even four USB ports on this laptop.

@fribbledom Laptop with 4 ports, nothing plugged in at the moment. I usually only plug in a Yubikey, an MP3 player, and my phone (to move photos).

Within reach, one older Raspberry Pi with a USB Wifi adaptor plugged in.

@fribbledom on the laptop I've got a dongle for my trackball and one I keep spare for my yubikey, could probably do with 4 ports total though

phone and other stuff that just needs power goes on a 5-port standalone charger
