Great accessory
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were shown this item in our local store and it has been a game changer for us. It assists us in eliminating lots of cords around our main hub. With so many ports, we have connected many peripherals without issue. We are happy that we purchased this docking station. It has been an asset to our AV production.

Thank you for picking up the j5create triple display docking station. We are glad that you are happy with your purchase. Not only will this docking station allow you to add three additional monitors, but it also has three USB type A ports, an Ethernet port, and it allows for passthrough charging to your laptop. I hope you have a great day.
Thank you,

Driver issues, more hassle than it’s worth
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very time consuming to setup and it doesn’t automatically work after a restart (need to work from the laptop instead of screens automatically being picked up). Recently, Big Sur 11 was released. I did the update, only for my monitors to stop working as they did previously. After messing around with settings, I went to j5create’s site and saw a huge on-screen alert about Mac users needing to not update their OS yet because drivers were not yet available so displays would be impacted. I’m guessing the expectation is that I’d go to the site for all ancillary office products to ensure each will remain compatible with my system? That’s messy and begs the question: why does j5create have me register a product or provide any personal information if they’re not going to email an update like this?

Posted .Hello,
We are still working on the drivers for Big Sur, but do not have an ETA as of today (12/21/2020). I will pass your suggestion of emailing out notifications on to our management. Thank you for your patience.
Have a good day,

Docking Station

Great product if you have the other necessary hard
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item serves it's intended purpose. However, I will caution that you need a separate USB type-c power source is you want this docking station to power your device while displaying to multiple monitors. Otherwise, it seemed to be fine.

Surface Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a docking station on Amazon that stopped working after a few days.

Not great, look into a hub by Anker instead.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is okay for what it is but I had some major issues with it, mainly that the speeds of the ports were not consistent and the design of the chassis itself was not. When plugging things into the port, they seemed to not fit correctly and you had to apply some force which is scary considering you may damage your own device's cables. Also the display outputs did not work with a converter, whereas they definitely could on some other cheaper hubs. On top of that, it is not a device that's supported with an M1 Macbook. I think that was why the speeds were so bad but also yeah, not the greatest quality and definitely too expensive for what you're getting. Ankers hubs will get your further along with I/O expansion and they are definitely more compact.

Posted .Hi Jaff, thank you for leaving a review on the JCD543. It gives us information on what we need to further improve our devices. Unfortunately, the M1 chip will only support one display on the JCD543 using HDMI or DP since those are PnP. The other video ports are driver base for Intel chips. But we are working to get drivers for M1 computers. To understand what is happening with the USB ports/speed and any question you may have, please contact us by phone, email or live chat so we may be able to troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. Cordially, j5create

Better than the Laptop Brand Name docking station.

Works Great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this mainly to have the additional video outputs for my laptop. Works great and there are plenty of HDMI and USB ports to attach monitors, printers, bluetooth adapters and other outputs. Be sure to download the drivers from the J5create website before using, and you should be up and running in no time.
