The 4-Port Aluminum Slope Design USB Hub is a popular desktop accessory designed by brands like ORICO and Unitek. Its signature feature is a 32° or 33° inclined angle, which makes plugging and unplugging devices much easier compared to flat hubs, as it prevents the hub from sliding backward when you apply pressure.
