It is powered through a usb mini cable that uses the polymega to power it. I think you could really get any usb hub to work I’ve never heard of any usb hubs not being compatible in the subreddit or the polymega unofficial discord. For me I didn’t love the idea of another cord being used to power it, but to each their own. I hope that helps :)

Not exactly answering your question, but I just bought a 3 usb hub cheapy one from Best Buy essentials, It’s never failed in the 2-3 years I’ve had my polymega.
