First :
I’m a 2 month noob in the raspberry world.
But I have a Raspberry Pi 3 an try things on it.
Last month I bought stuff at Pimoroni’s shop
I received my first Raspberry Pi Zero W.
But when I tried to configure it like I did with my Raspy 3 I had some trouble :
the Hdmi output was ok, _but it was impossible to plug the same USB dongle (for a Logitec K400r keybord) as I did on Raspy3.
I thought it was my keybord, so I bought an other keyboard “Raspberry compatible” on amazon (EgoIggo Mini Clavier)
Waiting for the order, I try to connect to my RaspyZW by using auto wifi configuration on boot.
It was a success! So now I’m now able to talk to RaspyZW on ssh
Then I received my new key board, tried it. But the mouse didn’t move an once on RaspyZW but worked on Raspy3.
I try few things with GPIO (Blinkt!) but it didn’t work. Maybe my soldering was not good enough. I don’t know.
Blinkt! works perfectly on Raspy3.
Then I tried to install Flotilla Dock. But the process stopped (endless) when it said : plug the dock to continue.
I tried to plug /unplug it many times, restart, restart the install. But no led came to life on the dock.
Now I suspect clearly that the data USB do not work well.
When I do $ lsusb : Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Yes, the DATA USB is the one between the HDMI and the other USB port. You can’t switch them, they are hard wired as is. A K400 is one of the keyboards I like to use with mine, as it has the trackpad built in. I often want to plug more than one USB device in so I use the hub quit often. I have one of each from Pimoroni, one with the mini USB and the one with the normal full sized USB plug. I have a couple of Pi A+ 's here where a hub comes in handy. Like the Pi Zero, they only have the one DATA USB port.
Are you running Raspbian on the Zero? Just to rule out a corrupted install I would redo my SD card with a fresh image. If the USB still doesn’t work after that, its either the Pi Zero is bad, or your USB adapter is bad.

I’ve had nothing but top notch prompt replies the few times I’ve had to use it. And link to this thread in your relies to them. @gadgetoid should be able to help you out.
Ho you’re right, last week I directly mailed the support.
Probably not the right method! Any way I’ve just tryed the form you linked me.
Thank you very much
Ok, from the sounds of it, it was that USB adapter that was bad all along. Test it if you want, my bet is nothing works with that adapter. Duds happen, not very often but it happens.
