Yes. SandhawC also works with the F5U279 (I use that with Windows 10), which you may find for a lower price than the F4U060.

Hello,

Need Help, will this setup work to allow me to use my windows 10 surface 3 that's has the Logitech Gaming software on it that I need to allow my Logitech  G410 keyboard and G520 mouse to work properly because they need some files from the Logitech program to be running.

I have a PS4 console.

I looked at the above diagram, How do I connect my keyboard & mouse ? I do have a powered usb hub.

Thank you.

yes that should work
mouse and keyboard to your surface, belkin easy transfer between surface and xim, xim to ps4
thats the setup

read the other stickied post in this sub forum to find out more on the setup

Hello, referring to the above diagram can I hook up my keyboard & mouse via USB hub to port 2 on xim4 and connect the USB transfer cable from my surface 3 to port 1 on the xim4 ? I only have one USB port on my surface 3 Windows 10 tablet ? .

no that would not work with your keyboard, your mouse and keyboard needs to be connected to the surface since thats how sandhawc works (theoretically only your keyboard)
the belkin easy transfer cable also needs to be connected to the surface, so its 3 usb ports you need

what you can do though is plug the usb hub to the surface so you have these 3 required usb ports

Ok , I have a powered USB hub. I will do that today. What if I wanted to connect just the mouse to port 2 on the XIM 4 ? Not a problem for me to do it the way you say to , just curious.

Thanks

yes you can of course connect the mouse directly to the xim4
(which is what i meant with theoretically only the keyboard and the belkin cable need to be connected to the pc)
