Just as described, Works very well. I had a different extension cord problems USB sticks and card readers. With this docking Ball (1/2 ball ;-)) running it. Although he weighs a little, because even I have fixed the half ball with double-sided tape on the table. USB disks and card readers can be very well plugging and unplugging. Recognition goes fix and so far without any errors when writing or reading. Data transmission just like the PC directly to me. Chill no loss. Log off and disconnect. Have the well tested at 1x LCD only the back has a USB input. Also everything is okay. Recognition, writing, reading 16GB stick 1a. Will I buy again. PS .: the hit would be a screw-PVC holder with snap fastener, which would give this design.
Additional on 08/12/2013 Have now bought a 2nd for 2.PC. The runs now on USB3 port under Win8.1 and does exactly as it should. Great. USB2Stick and USB3Stick 16GB without problems: recognition, writing, reading. And fix.
