How Many USB Devices are Connected to Your Computer, and What Are they?

Hardware and technical stuff

I saw this posted on a Facebook Group and thought it might be a fun thread to do here! Which USB devices are connected to your computer? I’ll start!

Always Connected:

  • Mouse
  • MIDI Controller
  • Two Hard Drive Enclosures
  • Hub
  • Camera
  • Microphone
  • Headphones

Sometimes Connected:

  • Joystick
  • Throttle
  • Rudder Pedals
  • Head Tracker
  • Gamepad
  • Push-to-Talk Pedal

What about you?

  • Mouse
  • Keyboard
  • Occasionally a gamepad

That’s about it.

I picked up a real sound card w/ integrated amp a few months ago, so my speakers and headset are no longer USB.

Mouse.
Headphones.

Constant:

  • Mouse
  • Keyboard
  • USB Hub that I use to connect joysticks/gamepads as needed.

Intermittent:

  • External HD every once in a while for backup purposes
  • Digital card reader (mostly to transfer stuff I record in my musical keyboard and the such)
  • portable USB drives
  • mobile phone connection cables (usually for backup purposes)
  • Track IR
  • Wacom-like tablet (a Genius one, in my case - very rare)

Hopefully one day:

  • a full-fledged digital audio interface like this one.

Not to make games sound amazing like your Roland MIDI interface, though. Just to make recording music easier for me. ;)

8

Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad, Snowball Mic.

I did have some cool bias lightning plugged in for awhile there, but when I rearranged my office I put a lamp in that looks a lot nicer.

No one plugs their phone into a USB port any more? Outside of mouse and keyboard and occasionally webcam, the phone is all I plug in.

17

I plug it into the wall.

18

To transfer pictures, yeah. I guess that counts.

Mouse

As needed:

Backup drive
