The j5create docking station is the best I've ever used. It conveniently allows me to connect all my devices, including a second screen, internet connection, web camera, and ring light. There's also plenty of space to add more devices. My only suggestion is to provide a longer cord for connecting it to the laptop. Since my laptop has the connection port only on the left side, it would be more convenient if I could plug it in and have it positioned on the right side of my desk.

This might be considered a value option for what you are getting. 3 display docks don't get much cheaper, and this one works pretty well in my experience.
The plastic kind of feels cheap, but in the intended use you probably won't be touching it much anyway.
I am able to charge my Zephyrus G14 and run without using the battery in regular non gaming tasks. The DP/HDMI combo port is straight pass-through, so no need for drivers if you only use one screen and the USB. Only the other two video ports require the driver - and they act like external GPU's. If you are using this for gaming, make sure you use the primary output.

This is a very useful docking station. My only gripe is that it wasn't super clear to me that I absolutely needed the power supply that you can buy it with. I ended up having to order the power supply separately. Apparently not every laptop will require a power supply for the dock, but mine kept throwing me errors when I tried to just run my laptop's charging cable through it. So, I have to plug my laptop up directly and also keep the docking station plugged up to it's own power supply for my computer to behave properly. It's not an issue, but it would have been helpful to know that was a possibility up front so that I would have bought them as a bundle.

I was looking at this for about a year before I received my first Macbook for a new role. Figured it’d be a great time to finally pick one up, especially after upgrading office setup, and to future-proof it for a future Macbook purchase (I recently fell in love with the Mac experience, and I have no idea why I waited so long to convert).
I recently upgraded to a 38-in Ultrawide, have a LAN connection to my Switch, and now have several Macbook peripherals (thanks to my company). If I didn’t have this docking station, I’m not sure what I’d be using.
Just download the correct display driver for the docking station one time, and boom, it’s as easy as connecting a USB-C cable! When I need to quickly switch between my workstation and gaming station, I can easily disconnect, push the cable back into the docking station, and then push it back against my monitor on the desk to make room for my gaming peripherals.

This triple display docking station turns your computer into a full workstation with a DisplayPort, two HDMI, and VGA output. With 100W Power Delivery, three USB-A, and USB-C port, and much more. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Enjoy, BackAtItAKen!

I bought this so I could have 2 large monitors off my laptop to make life much easier when working from home. I was prepared to spend an hour or two figuring out how to set it up and getting it all working. When I opened the box ther was a sticker on the cord telling me to download a driver. I figured it was important since it was the first thing you see when you pull this out of the box. I immediately downloaded said driver. Within less than a few minutes everything was up and running. I was surprised actually, but in a nice way. The docking station works great! You don’t even know it’s there, you just use your system as intended. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

This docking station comes with 2 HDMI and 1 display port. Its a great space saver i.e. I have it sitting on the base of my external screen. It worked great right out of the box. Connected 2 external monitors, portable scanner. Has both USB and USB-C ports. I bought this on the personal recommendation of a Best Buy representative who also uses this over an HP product.

The j5create USB-C Triple Display Docking Station will work with Macs and PC. I have pushed two large monitors and could add a third one if needed. It does takes a little configuring with the software and instructions. Not exactly plug and play away all day. With patience comes reward. You can use the laptop power cables USB-C to run power through it. I should have purchased the bundle that included the Docking station and power brick. I has every connection needed to get monitors, keyboards, mouse, headphones, cell phone charge base, connected. It can handle a bunch of equipment. Pick up a surge protector for safety. I use one. No complaints with this one.

I was using this with my HP Spectre for about 9-months. I did not load any drivers just plug-n-play. The HDMI would only do 60hz out of one and 30hz out of the other. The USB-C worked as expected and the card reader was fine. The USB-A worked as well.
Now…I migrated over to the new Macbook Pro M-1 (w/ latest macOS Monterey) and things did not go as well. I initially ran it with only one monitor at 30hz because the other HDMI stopped working. I called J5 and they said that I needed to download the drivers…and that didn’t help!!
So…for PC this dock is just okay but I think you could find a better setup for multiple monitors.
For Mac products….I would probably avoid this one!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The HDMI's/DP support up to 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz or 1080p @ 60 Hz. The HDMI/VGA and Mic ports require an installation of a driver for proper functionality. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply. With Mac's that run M1 chips, there are 3 different M1's. M1 Pro and M1 Max support multi-displays. M1 will only support (1) additional display, that is the limitation on it's hardware. If you have any questions regarding the JCD543, please contact our Support Team and they will be glad to assist you. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.

Everything works flawlessly. I'm running three displays and I havent had a problem yet. (1 week). Unfortunately i cannot charge my laptop through the power input on the dock. I was so disappointed, i was hoping for a single cable solution.

I and using with a new:
"HP - OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 - Copilot+ PC - 16" 2K Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 5 226V - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Eclipse Gray" laptop.
Working perfectly and connects with USB C... I am only using with 2 displays connected with HDMI. Don't forget to download and install the driver! USB mouse and keyboard.
I use the laptop's power supply to the dock as it needs a little power also... then the laptop says "slow charger" when I connect it. GOOD! Fast charging kills batteries that's the last thing I want so this was an unexpected bonus. And it charges plenty fast this way.
I am very satisfied and recommend.

Excellent dock for my Macbook Air. I bought this when we closed our offices last year and started working from home. I needed to stay connected to team members and suppliers from all over the US, Europe, UK and Australia. This dock allowed me to [mostly] recreate the capabilities we had at the office for video conferencing, multiple monitors, peripherals, etc. with only my laptop. I like the simplicity, it worked the first time out of the box, no issues ever. I also like the low profile design, it fits neatly under my Roost laptop stand and keeps cabling out of the way. I have needed to replicate this same office set up in several satellite locations in other cities - I bought this same dock for each one - it's just plug and play no matter what desk I happen to be working from.

Makes it easy to “dock” and “undock” laptop from multiple cables. HDMI connection to external monitor worked as expected. VGA connection to external monitor did not work, so had to purchase a VGA to HDMI adapter cable. Everything else works as expected

I purchased this item mainly to use as a "dock" for a dual monitor setup. Like many individuals I am now working remotely. It was easy to connect to the laptop and monitor. I also use it for the external Webcam and printer. This unit was affordable and definitely a great investment.
