when pluged into a usb port on a laptop does it sag at the port? I purchased a different one and it seems to pull down on the usb port

No it doesn't sag in the position I use it. I place it about 1/3 of the way over my keyboard on a 17 inch laptop. There is some weight to the LED portion but the support arm does a pretty good job of keeping everything in place. If you buy it and don't like it I believe it can be returned. On the other hand the cost is pretty small.

Not so far. It has a firm yet flexible handle. I am very pleased with it. I keep it connected to my laptop and so far no issues with it.

Yes, it does sag in the USB port because it has some weight but I don't imagine that's a significant problem.

No,.it does not sag. It is a great.fit and it remains in any level you place it. It's a very good tool.

It did sag, but that's what every kind of plug do to my laptop. I just stick a soda top under it so that it won't. When I put it in without a top, it still does no damage.

this one has a good strong flex between the plug and the light... husband can even push it straight up and it will stay... only problem is the switch is push button and they need to improve it since 1 of ours won't turn off now.. at least it stuck at the on position. the newest one has a low & high but the same problem with a push button.. they need to change it to a switch back & forth. but it is the best one we have found.. good light for the whole keyboard.

Yes, if your USB port is in the back of your laptop. From the side, it starts to droop. Fortunately, my laptop tray has an adaptor for the USB port behind it.

It's never slipped off from my laptop, unless i intentinally shift it on my keyboard. Also cause i've pretty much use my laptop in my desk But of course, if you flip your laptop upside down for whatever reason, duh its gonna fall off

I have not had this problem. The USB connector sits snuggly...You might want to ask the company and exchange your unit? Otherwise I find it works pretty well....

No. It's opposite of what is shown. If I place mine in the same position as pictured, the flat side of the micro USB is up (the side with the 2 little hooks).

Have had no problems with this issue. I often use the laptop on my lap and it seems firm to me.

The usb cable is short and non-removable however the device works well when plugged into a powered hub. I tend to keep mine plugged into the USB port on my monitor.

Use Caution if you knock over the drive especially when it's in use you could kill the drive or at least lose data. This can easily happen if you use laptop and forgetfully pick it up or move it. The USB cable is not that long.

Of all the USB hubs I have purchased this is my favorite. I have never heard that the ports in the back are weaker. I had more ports installed on the back of one of my computers. My printer, mouse USB hub, scanner and keyboard are plugged into the back of the computer. I do not know how your computer is configured or what OS you are using, but if the computer recognizes the ports in back I would thank my lucky stars. If not it is in the settings or OS. Good luck, Chuck

The USB receiver does stick out while using on a laptop. It is much more pronounced than most slim receivers. I have not found it to be an issue while using on a laptop.

Depends on how high you mount your laptop, the higher you mount, the lower the footprint. The footprint seems minimal to me, I have a small desk.

I suppose that depends upon which way round your devices connector is. If I hold the cable with the micro usb connecter facing to the right and the usb adapter towards me then the micro adapter is facing up (the smaller curved part is to the top).hope this helps

Mine looks different on the end . The bottom 2 are probably the USB ports and the top is the micro usb

I don't think it will fall out. I have mine plugged into the back of my computer, it just hangs there, seems pretty secure. I've also used it on my Xbox to connect 4 controllers and it didn't fall out.

I thought the same thing. It DOES NOT CHARGE on the bottom. That is actually a mini hdmi port. The port you are looking for is (the small usb for charging) is located on the side and has a cover over it right above the strap. Open the flap, and that is where the mini usb fits.

Mine was a little loose, but it just needs to be tapped to snug up the connector tabs. Hope this makes sense and helps.

No, there's no trick. It must be a manufacturing defect. I've bought these before and never had a problem. The last one I got had the same problem you have. So what I did was filed down the plastic at the right and left ends of the end cap (the end opposite the USB connections) to make more room for the hard drive. I did this a little at a time so as not to go too far. That worked for me.
