Does this device work on both 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports? It seems to work only on the 2.0.

USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are completely backwards compatible, so if it operates off of USB2.0 technology and you plug it into a USB3.0 port, it'll work just as if that port was 2.0. So, if you're having issues with it working in the 3.0 Port the issue may be the port itself, not the headset.Try finding a 3.0 device (like a flash drive) and trying that, if it works try another 2.0 device besides the headset. If all else fails force an update on the drivers.

My machine only has USB 2.0, so I can't say anything about higher versions, sorry...

I'm a bit surprised at all the "yes" answers for USB 3. I have seen many reports that non-memory devices--like mice and keyboards--have compatibility problems with USB 3. Conventional wisdom @ the tech sites recommends using USB 2 ports for these kinds of devices.My data could be old, and the USB 3 drivers may have improved. If possible, I would reserve my 3.0 ports for devices that require the high speed bandwidth.

My Mid-2012 MacBook Pro has USB 3.0 ports, and it seems to work fine (the little USB transmitter is always plugged directly into my machine, so if a device supports it, the port will run in 3.0 mode).

Sorry it took so long to answer and yes it will work with 2.0. I actually use it for to charge one of my tablets. Hope this helps. Thanks Tim B.

I think it does work with both usb 2.0 and usb 3.0. ( I have multiple computers and some have usb 2.0 and some have usb 3.0 and I don't know which and which.). They all work with my clickfree. (you can ask the question on youtube.)

I believe it works with USB 2.0. It is a great writer for the money and I use it a great deal to archive many things to help remove big data from my drives.

It will work with USB 2.0, just considerably slower. In my very informal testing it was about 1/3 as fast when plugged into a USB 2.0 port than when using a USB 3.0 port.

Yes, but I noticed no performance gain in 2-in, 2-out mode over USB 2.0. Worked great in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports

it is usb 2.0 but should work for usb 3.0 because most usb 3.0 supports usb 2.0.

not completely true, i have 1.1 usb and mine works fine, but 1.0 usb i dunno. everytime i plug it in it tells me "the device can perform faster" with a usb 2.0....

yes, it works on usb3.0 of course, all usb 2.0 devices are compatible with 3.0 You'll love the mouse by the way! Great fit and precise!

Hi C. Prendergast,I do believe I have used it in a USB 3.0 port before without issues. USB 3 hubs are supposed to be back compatible with all USB devices, so if it is giving you issues make sure you have installed any controller firmwares/drivers that it may require.Hope this helps :)

I've used it in 1.1 and 2.0 ports, and it works on both. I can't remember whether I tried it on my laptop, which only has 3.0 ports. Since you don't really transfer data through a keyboard or mouse, I can't imagine that they'd build this thing with the higher speed capabilities of 2.0 or 3.0.I just saw your latest comment and realized how unhelpful my answer was.

Yes this devise will work on a USB 2.0 port. But as with any legacy device, your transfer speeds will be reduced due to USB 2.0 being a slower input/output channel than USB 3.0.

Yes. USB 2.0 devices work in USB 3.0 ports - they just aren't making full use of the fast transfer rate.

Work on both 2.0 & 3.0. However, no profits for this device anymore. You should forget it

I believe it's only 2.0, at least with the version I purchased. There very possibly may be a newer version out. I put it in my Dell desktop to replace a burned out USB controller on the main board and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

Yes! I have USB 3.0 and 2.0 I really can't tell the difference between the two in speeds...

Yes, it will work on a USB 2.0 port. It will just not be as fast as if it were connected into a USB 3.0 port.
