Use the right tools for the task, maybe the MacBook Pro is not the right tool, if it is that limited with USB ports… and btw an USB Hub (30€?) would solve some problems, it can easily handle the StreamDeck, the Dongle, your SSD and your Keyboard.
And there are models available that provide power to the MacBook as well… one device frees up 3 USB ports…!
