But you can plug it into a projector, a charger, and have a USB plugged in all at the same time with the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. This is pretty expensive though.

It doesn't even solve the parent's use case: Using a fitbit dongle and a wired mouse (occasionally connecting a printer - though you can disconnect the mouse for that). I have the same dilemma as the parent with my macbook pro. I have two USB ports - and three things I'd like to plug in: wired mouse, fitbit dongle, and a yubikey. The mouse and yubikey are mandatory so I sacrificed using the fitbit dongle versus requiring lugging around a USB hub everywhere.

  There are some pretty small USB hubs lately. If you need a full featured USB 3.0 (with or without ethernet), this is a nice option and it matches Mac styling: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC02HOU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=VGD7HOKWPVE2&coliid=I1OCWXELGRTLLI&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC02HOU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl... If you just need USB 2.0, you can get something tiny like this to carry: http://www.amazon.com/Cute-USB-2-Port-Splitter-Black/dp/B00FJG5T4W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428606799&sr=1-1&keywords=small+usb+hub http://www.amazon.com/Cute-USB-2-Port-Splitter-Black/dp/B00F...

  >It doesn't even solve the parent's use case: That's missing the point. It isn't supposed to. Similar to how a lot of folks complained that they absolutely needed a DVD drive when the first MacBook Air came out. I'm sure some did, most simply did not, which is why laptops trended with the Air and got smaller and dropped the drive.
