AboutThis device solved the headache of updating firmware with my USB flight sim controllers. The headache being that when updating firmware it’s recommended to have only one controller plugged in to the PC. and I have seven. This meant moving my simpit and then clambering behind the PC, which in practice meant I never updated the firmware! Now I have all my USB sim controllers plugged into the Wenter, which sits on the easily maintenance accessible tray on my TrackRacer TR160, and I can disable all the unwanted controllers with a few button presses, update the firmware and then re-activate. The entire process of turning the USB devices on and off takes place in less time than I can type this sentence. In summary, a game changing device for power USB users.

AboutAs part of the grand overhaul of the MiGBase in late 2020, I replaced a mess of external hard drives and their associated power supplies and USB cables with a nice little ICY BOX!
