The Kensington Wireless USB Docking Station Untangles Your Desktop
I finally bit the bullet and bought a wireless keyboard and track ball. I don’t usually like them wireless because they suck battery life down like water, but I like the tangle of wires in the back of my computer even less. Kensington now has a solution that knocks my socks off.
It’s called the Kensington Wireless USB Docking Station and here is how it works. The Docking Station gets plugged into the wall to make it a powered USB hub. Grab all you USB cables and plug them in to the 5 ports. Now take your monitor and USB printer and plug them in as well.
You are now the happy owner of a clean sleek cable free machine without losing any of the great tools that come with USB. They’re all there - assuming the USB hub is no more than 15 feet away - courtesy of the WiQuest Wireless USB protocol.
It used to be impossible to link these items via Wireless because it required a handshake capability with an ID passed. Now WiQuest has found a way around this serious flaw. Just plug your USB cable into a wireless hub and in the window that comes up on your computer, enter the pin number of the device that wishes to sync. Do this just once per device and you’re good to go.
