I use an Orico branded 4 port USB 3.0 hub (USBORC1001), plugged into the vertical USB port. Anything similar spec'd would be fine I'd think.

I tried a couple of them, some USB 2.0 and some 3.0. All work fine...

Currently I use Ugreen USB 2.0 Hub 1/4 1m because it has 1m long cable. Easier to mount underneath the desk so there is no cable mess when using multipe usb joysticks etc...

Any conformant hub should work OK, powered would only be needed if you want to hang a big USB hard drive off fit. If your wanting use it for file transfer make sure it's in the A600GS vertical slot. Else it will b slow. Horizontal slots are for keyboards/ mice / joypad only
