I just bought a Kontrol S88 Mk3.
It's recommended to connect it to a USB-C hub that supports both power and data transfer on the same USB port.
Could you recommend a brand and model of a high-quality, reliable USB-C hub to power the Kontrol S88 Mk3?
Thank you in advance.

Have a look on amazon. As long as the hub is usbc 3.2 with its own external power it should work fine.
The key is to also check the USB port on the motherboard it a dedicated usbc or on its own internal hub.
Dedicated in my experience works better with mostmidi sound hardware.
Brands to recommend first stop belkin, alternatives anker. UGreen could be worth a shot but avoid the lesser known brands.
If you have amazon prime order a few and see which work best.
The other work around is look at an existing usbc port that support 10 speed data transfer on the motherboard and put other non instrument devices ie mouse keyboard on the hub so you have a dedicated port for the keyboard.
Reason I say this if Windows, the driver will associated with that port always. See devices and show hidden you'll understand.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I bought a 30-watt USB-C charger (with a USB-C to USB-C cable) and used the original cable from the Kontrol S88 MK3.
Everything works perfectly.
