I'm running the Royaltek on a USB extension through an unpowered USB hub and it works fine. The only issue I've run into is that it seems sensitive to EMI. My original plan was to mount it on the parcel shelf in the back and when I tested it with my laptop it worked great, quick lock, etc. When I installed the PC underneath the shelf (no case), it would lock for anything. When I moved it up front, it worked great again.

Until I swapped my screen for a Xenarc. Then I started having trouble locking again. Moving it away from the screen improved it.

If yours worked well with the laptop but is now behaving oddly with your installed PC, one thing to consider is whether it is close to a source of EMI like power supply, processor, or even screen.
