Customer Ratings & Reviews

The j5create dongle was a surprising find for me: at the time of purchase, it didn't have any reviews, and it's unusual I buy a product without a rating. I was not disappointed, but I was not impressed, either. I originally bought this with the late 2020 MacBook Pro 13. I foolishly filtered my options based on what had a 3.5mm headphone jack, as I didn't realize the MacBook had one (an oversight on my end.) Regardless, the dongle proved very useful in all applications. -Build Quality- This is not a fancy aluminum device; it's one that gets the job done, looking decent while doing it (and at a good price.) It's made of glossy and smooth-matte plastic, but I have no doubts about its durability. Its labelling is not obnoxious, nor are its edges too sharp. It's a physically light device with a good, albeit plastic, build. -USB C port- The USB C port's power delivery capability is almost necessary, as the dongle takes up one of only two USB C ports on the lower end MacBook models. While I could not measure the difference in speed, I found that the charging rate is noticeably faster when the charging brick is connected directly to the laptop. The power delivery, as used through the dongle, is still sufficient to fully power my MacBook Pro 13" under full load. -USB A ports- Transfer speed: Read 373 MB/s Write test failed When doing any task on my MacBook, the two USB type A ports helpfully allowed me to connect a mouse, keyboard, and/or thumb drive. Very useful for peripherals. -SD Card Slot- Transfer Speed: Read 74 MB/s | Write 61 MB/s It's an SD card slot. Creators on Mac will probably need this. Speeds are underwhelming. For the modern Mac user, the j5create is not a dongle to be slept on. I can recommend this well-priced device for any creator, office user, or even gamer on a new Mac platform.

I am buying a new one because the prong on the old one got loose and it was causing intermittent issues. I love the product, but wish I wasn't re-buying it. It is possible that the prong problem was my fault, but I was not aware that I ever did any damage.

Works great. Anyone who's wondering this is perfect for an ipad or phone when it comes to trying to have a desktop -like set up. I use this with music production and it works awesome. Proper power supply thats compatable with speakers, my midi keyboard, and much more. Its awesome. Would recommend for a mobile studio forsure

This is definitely a great accessory for adding a full-screen monitor to your laptop as a 2nd screen.

Super slim and portable. Works with my 2022 14” MacBook Pro. They should come with one standard in my best opinion. Although the MacBook gives you an HDMI port, I find using two monitors and my laptop is quite productive! Speedy SDcard reader and micro SD Card reader, reliable every time I put one in. And quite the capable USB ports if I need an external hard drive or thumb drive. Handy labeling on the bottom. Though I wish it had an Ethernet port.

İt is good for mu devices. I attach 3 devices with it and no problem

There are better priced options but this has many slots for different purposes and it's great for devices like a phone, Nintendo switch, and steam deck.

Very useful for being able to connect other devices to my surface pro. It is light and compact.

This product did the job that I wanted. 6 weeks in, I'm satisfied.

Works great just what I need to work for me even have extra lines

Takes up little room on my desk and can get everything plugged in.

wow what a great device work well for my career easy to plug in and fast!

Works great i use linux and had to fet this one instead my last one i love the extra usbs

Last minute purchase. My original one was not compatible with my work computer. This worked out perfectly.

Gets the job done. Lightweight, convenient and portable. Easy to use.

Bought a Macbook and needed a good adapter to connect my accessories. This works perfectly. Also its very durable as you can see from my picture lol. Ive been all around the country with this thing.

My original purchase was awesome but I was a victim of a fire and lost everything so when I got my new computer I also bought another J5 because it's really good piece of requirement

Perfect for my MS Surface laptop to connect a second monitor. Powerful enough to support my 27-inch monitor. Best value for the price paid.

Nice ports to add to my Surface. I'd like the power delivery mentioned in the description since it isn't' included in the basic box.

Great retailer, great performing computer setup.....
