I have a laptop and, as usual, it also has USB ports. However, only one connection works and I would like to buy an adapter with which I can connect both a keyboard and a mouse. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the technical area and wanted to ask whether there are such adapters and where I can buy them. If you have that name that would be perfect.
This is possible with a "USB hub". Such parts are available with different numbers of USB ports. Available in every reasonably well-stocked computer store or shops that have something like this in their range, such as Saturn, Media Markt…
Before buying, check whether the port that still works for you is USB2 or USB3. Then buy a suitable USB hub for it.
Yes, there's. Called itself a USB hub and can be found e.g. On Amazon:

There are also more or less ports.
Usb 3 works with usb 2 and vice versa.
Yes there's something like that somewhere or you buy 1 mouse and keyboard that only needs 1 USB connector and I use 1 from HP and I got them at Exper Pirna
Yes, but it would be a shame to connect a USB2 hub to a USB3, if you don't just want to connect a keyboard and mouse, but maybe an external hard drive or something similar that needs more bandwidth.
If it has a USB 3 port, then yes. If not, it would just be a few euro that could have been saved.
Of course, a USB3 hub isn't that expensive either. And then it would be more future-proof. He's not going to be bad. And it is also backwards compatible, as you have already written.
I fully agree with you.
Buy a USB hub.
Depending on the type, you can then connect up to 8 devices.
If it is only about mouse and keyboard, then buy a keyboard with an integrated USB socket, then you can connect the mouse to the keyboard and only need one socket on the laptop for both of them.
