A:AnswerUnfortunately 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...
A:AnswerSo far I haven't noticed but I'm only a casual gamer. If you're hard core you might notice, even still it's worth the price so you can plug your mouse and keyboard into your computer and then use this for things like your headphones, phone or other devices.
