I think what your talking about might be what I need ... care to share the link of the company where you found this part? As for usb, basically you can totally disreguard it being usb at all and not worry about that part. All I need to do is apply power to the 1 red wire on each port in order to turn it on. The rest of the wires just all connect to the receiver together. This has alsready been done in some sense. The guy just hooked up 1 receiver to 1 port and put a toggle switch to the red wire in order turn it on and off. I would like the ability to also select which port it's on.
