Daisy chaining and plugging anything into the keyboard has never been very satisfactory, either. I use a USB hub, and mostly it works fine. Separate power supply, so nothing overloads the Cube's power supply, and mostly things run as they should. If there are occasionally times when some peripheral proves balky, I just tinker with connections and then it starts working again, usually for a couple of months before I have to repeat. i consider that acceptable.
