USB - C hope to bethe all - in - one cable we ’ve all woolgather about , but the first companies to adopt it are being stingy about how many ports they give us . It means USB expansion hubs are en style again , and theCusbyis the first to permit you custom build one for your specific demand .
Available through anIndiegogo crowdfunding campaignthat ’s attempting to lift $ 15,000 , the Cusby modules can be connect and daisy - chain like Lego blocks , with each section offering unique functionality . At launch there will be three Cusby modules available : one that features a USB - C port for send power through to your laptop , one that sport a traditional USB larboard , and one with HDMI . Because you may tie in as many of the modules as you want in a serial publication , you may work up a impost Cusby hub that ’s as long as you ask so you do n’t have to swap out a USB add-on to make room for another one .
Future Cusby mental faculty that include Thunderbolt , Display Port , and ethernet ports are planned , but those will presumably only be available if the first three modules are successful on Indiegogo . Individually they can be pre - put with a donation of $ 39 , but the better bargain is to go with the $ 75 three - pack that gets you one of each .
So initially the Cusby modules will be an expensive answer to your laptop ’s minimum number of USB - century port wine . But if successful , it hopefully means the price of those private module will drop as more are made useable . Otherwise , if you ’re not willing to pay bleeding border price , it might be a upright idea to hold back a yr for USB - C to become more wide adopted .
