“I'm using this for an external keyboard and mouse until my new laptop comes. Do I have to plug it into an outlet? Is that just for externals that pull more power? The addition of using the outlet plug would make the wire configuration really awkward.”

Unfortunately this a powered USB hub. You will need to plug it in. The good thing is that it will not pull power from your computer, which can be an issue without power. It can also charge your USB devices, phone, ipad etc...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Same here i am using it as an external keyboard and mouse. Works perfectly. No you don’t have to plug it into an outlet! I thinks that’s if you wanna charge your phone or controller.
