The USB standards is a mess that makes my brain melt. There are so many standards about the speed for data and charge time that you need to do a research before buying anything related to USB. For example, I bought headphones with USB recharge port. I am just lucky that my computer has the right USB, otherwise It would be impossible to recharge them. My computer has 4 USB ports, but only 1 is compatible with my headphones. I still don't know if corporations are owned by idiots, or by perverts who like to fuck with customers.

What said, USB has gone from Universal Serial Bus to Uber Shit Bus.

Not sure what your exact issue is, but if it's power related (your usb ports don't provide "enough power"), you could look into buying a powered usb hub. They have a plug for an outlet so your computer does not have to provide the power itself.

USB is clear about how much power it provides (IIRC 5W shared among all peripherals as of USB 2.0). The problem is that people design devices that pull much more than that and take advantage of the fact that a lot of controllers let them get away with it.
