This Hyper Flex MagCharge USB hub is a great companion for needing all your necessary accessories connected to your computer when you don’t have the native I/O or just need a little more. For me this will be a wonderful travel companion since I’m a Macbook user and the I/O is light to begin with, plus the added benefit of having a built in MagSafe phone charger for my iPhone.
The HyperDrive port feels super solid and has a great build quality, but since it’s a plastic build using 75% recycled material, it’s also super light and great for the environment. The MagSafe charger is super sturdy and gives plenty of resistance when extended. All of the ports are rock solid and allow you to connect just about anything you need, and the PD 100W charging port allows you to quickly charge anything that can use up to 100W of power.
A couple design decisions that keep this at 4 stars for me instead of 5, however at this price point, none of these are a deal breaker in any way:
- The MagSafe magnets don’t appear to be that strong. They are fine for sure, but I don’t have a newton meter to measure the pull force, but it’s easily the weakest of any MagSafe dock I’ve used
- I wish the MagSafe arm was able to swivel, because based on where they have placed the various I/O, you have very limited placement angle of your phone if you use a larger size (I am using a iPhone 17 Pro Max) in portrait mode that won’t interfere with cables you have attached. Using your phone in landscape mode is not affected.
- The HDMI port is 2.0 standard, so it can only support 60khz no matter the resolution
- All the USB ports are 3.2 Gen 1, so they are capped at 5Gbps transfer speeds
Overall this HyperDrive Flex hub is a great addition to my travel bag and will be coming with me everywhere…

This USB-C Hub is Hip!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
HyperDrive Flex MagCharge 5 is a pretty useful device that no many people are aware of and I believe it needs some publicity. You may think that this 5 port USB-C hub is just another unnecessary device however I found many reasons why it is a must have hub for me and hopefully for you as well. You may want to think of it as a Swiss Army knife that has many features and functions.
I know many 3-4 year old notebooks that offer only one USB-C port however with this HyperDrive hub you will be able to expand the capabilities of your notebook to the new levels (without buying a new PC).
Let me highlight a few cool features I found with this hub:
As mentioned above I can Expand the Connectivity and it my experience here is how it worked out:
A. I can connect multiple USB devices to my already limited notebook. Number of USB ports you get with this guy is 5.
B. I can charge multiple devices, so I usually have my phone connected to it as well as my USB-C headphones. With MagCharge I have my personal phone being charged as well.
C. With the HDMI port I can add another display to my notebook and be able to benefit my productivity. I am pretty pleased to know that it supports HDMI output at 4K resolution, my Samsung smart display works great with this hub.
To the manufacturer of this hub I would recommend the following improvements:
1. The connected USB-C cable is a bit short and is permanently attached to the hub - either make it longer or allow us connect our own USB-C cable.
2. MagCharge power output needs to be improved (I believe it is currently maxed at 7.5 Watt), in this day and age a customer wants their phone charged quickly and be ready to go.
3. Provide better PD (Power Delivery) output to devices like notebooks that require more power.
This HyperDrive Flex USB-C Hub is perfect for any home or office, it is easy to take along with you on the trips as well as the MagCharge folds nicely. I like it for my needs and look forward to new improvements down the road.

A Magnetic Marvel for Your Workspace!
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The HyperDrive Flex MagCharge is a 6-in-1 USB-C hub / mini dock that folds out from a compact base and includes a magnetic/Qi wireless charging pad for phones. Overall, it’s a creative and capable hub with a few trade-offs worth knowing before you buy.
PROS:
- Wireless Charging + Foldable Stand: This is the standout differentiator. The integrated MagSafe / Qi pad means your phone can sit upright on the hub while charging, which is a clean and elegant touch. For users who like to keep their phone in view while working (e.g. for notifications, calls, or monitoring), this is a nice convenience.
- Reasonable Port Expansion in Compact Form: For a relatively small and travel-friendly hub, it delivers a decent set of ports: multiple USB connections, HDMI, card reader, and audio. Many users of ultra-thin laptops or tablets will appreciate not needing to carry multiple dongles.
- Full 100W Power Delivery: It supports up to 100 W PD pass-through, which means it can charge many modern laptops while driving peripherals — a must for a usable all-in-one hub.
- Solid Video Capability (for Single Display): It can drive a 4K display at 60 Hz (via HDMI) when used as a single monitor setup. That’s a good performance envelope for many users (productivity, media, coding, etc.)
CONS:
- Only One Display Output (no multi-monitor support): Although the hub supports 4K 60 Hz for a single monitor, you cannot drive multiple displays from it. This is a limitation, especially for users hoping to replace a full docking station.
- Port Count & Missing Ethernet/microSD: If you have many devices or need wired networking, this hub may feel limiting. There's no Ethernet port or microSD slot, and the number of USB ports is modest.
- Non-Removable Cable: The USB-C cable to the host is permanently fixed. If that cable gets damaged or bent, you have no option to replace it. Some users prefer detachable cables for durability/flexibility.
- Wireless Charging Is Only ~7.5W: Because of design constraints, the wireless charge output is limited (~7.5W), which isn’t fast for power-hungry phones.
- Potential Heat/Durability Concerns: While not flagrant, compact hubs with many active electronics may run warm. Some users of related Hyper products have observed mild warming across usage scenarios.
- Price Versus Alternatives: Given its niche features, the price is justifiable — but for users who don’t care about the magnetic wireless charging, other hubs may offer more ports or better multi-display support for similar or lower cost.
I’d rate it around 4/5 for its niche. It’s a smart, stylish hub for a particular kind of workflow. If your needs align with what it offers, it’s a delightful option. If you need full docking station-level features, you’d want something more robust (or with Thunderbolt/USB4 capabilities) instead.

You'll never want to be without it!

This is one of those cool little devices that you didn’t really know you need till you actually have it and then you wondered how you lived without it!
Out of the box you might take a look at this thing and wonder how you use it and what you use it for. Its actually quite a genius little product. It can sit on your desk, or easily fit in your laptop bag to take it on the go which is where I really think this thing shines. First and foremost, it has a Qi charger built into a little arm that can be brought up and down as well as tilted forward or back. I can say I have this thing sitting on my desk with my phone in it all day now. It’s tilted towards me so I can easily see the screen and any notifications and it also keeps my phone charged as well. Just that alone is worth it to have!
This little box has a few other tricks up its sleeve as well. There is a USBC port that comes out of the box that you can also plug into your phone. There is also an HDMI port on the box as well meaning you can plug in your phone and then display that on any device that has an HDMI port. Pretty cool to be able to display things on your phone on a big screen for meetings, presentations, or even showing a slideshow of pictures to your friends and family. I only wish that the cable to connect to your phone was detachable so its not just dangling there if you aren’t using it, or maybe have it be retractable in some way.
If that wasn’t enough, there is also a SD card reader on it as well so you can easily transfer files to an iPad, or phone, or anything else you connect to this device. Another reason this is a must-have travel companion! I have a laptop that doesn’t have a SD port on it and I like to take tons of pictures as well as drone videos on my vacations and this makes it very easy to transfer things to my laptop while im on the go.
It also has a headphone / headset jack as well, something that a lot of phones are lacking these days. So if you have a headset or wired headphones, you can easily plug them into this device as well.
And finally, there are also 2 other USBC ports for charging other devices like your phone or laptop which can definitely save you from having to carry tons of cables and charging bricks with you.
Overall, I absolutely love this device and it will be on my desk, or in m laptop bag whenever I am on the go. I definitely don’t want to be without it!

Best Senior Manager Hub
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
When I say Senior Manager hub, because this level in the company does not need too many monitors. One 4K quality monitor, a USB A and a couple of USB-Cs are all you need. You would always need your phone too, and this is the star of this set up.
The power this hub transmits is enough for an ultrabook at 100W, of course depending on the power source I provided it because it does not come with any. I used to need more wattage for my power machine—but again, when I use to work on my power machine, I needed two monitors, and tons of peripherals, which brings me back to my point—this hub is for the senior managers, the copywriters, and those others who can get by with one monitor. The power is ample, and the refresh rate is for a not-so-demanding monitor.
I connected this to my bar set up. A 34 incher, a mouse/keyboard unified dongle, an occasional USB for transfers. The headphone jack is a plus because, Bluetooth. The Magsafe charger does not need aligning for it to effectively charge, and I can easily see my phone screen. The SD card is reliable. The USB ports do not lose connection. This hub does well what it has, and it does not overpromise. Other adults who connect their machines to this hub at our bar set up loves it the same.
The design is topnotch too. The cable is flexibly firm and of high quality textured material. The white I would say will perhaps catch dirt and turn gray but the build seems durable to me. I love it a lot.
This hub is a pleasant surprise. I recommend.

Useful Combo USB-C Dock + Wireless charger
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The HyperDrive Flex USB-C Hub is a pretty compelling choice for a USB-C dock that works well with a single 4K monitor. The design is pretty interesting and versatile.The qi- and magsafe-compatible wireless charger folds up against the dock itself so it doesn't need to take up a bunch of space if you don't want it to. As a result, I can see this HyperDrive Flex being useful as either a travel charger or as a permanent fixture on my desk.
#Unboxing and first impressions#
The HyperDrive Flex arrived in a pretty standard size box for an accessory of this size. There wasn't a lot of wasted packaging. Most of the packaging is paperboard or cardboard so it was easy to recycle other than the plastic bag for the charger itself. As USB-C hubs go, the Flex came without its own USB-PD charger so it is definitely sold more like a travel hub than a permanent desktop one. It also came with a printed manual, which I do like to see instead of a QR code pointing me to a website. The short "host" USB-C cable is permanently attached, which can be both good or bad I guess. It's short enough (and thick enough) that it isn't troublesome to toss into my bag and worry about it getting tangled, so I think the design works well enough.
#Using the HyperDrive Flex#
The Flex works pretty well for its intended purpose. Connected to a standard USB-C laptop, it offers 5Gbps USB-C downstream ports, a 4k/60hz HDMI port, and 87W USB PD charging. I especially liked that it includes a 3.5mm headset jack. The full size SD card slot is nice, though I wish it had both SD and microSD slot options which would make this more versatile for the drones and dash cams that I usually need to pull files off of. The wireless charger works whether you connect the USB-C host cable to the female USB-C port on another charger, or if you use the cable for a separate USB-C charger to connect to the power input port on the Flex. So, in a pinch you can have just the "wall wart" charger and the Flex and charge a phone wirelessly. It advertises that it can do 10W wireless charging but I was never able to get my S25 Ultra to register more than 7.5W. I've found this is pretty common for chargers that are advertised as "MagSafe Compatible" with 10W modes, so it wasn't terribly surprising. At 7.5W it is enough to keep my phone topped up at my desk but it's not terribly quick for juicing a dead device up - it takes around 2 hours to get from 40% to 80% on my S25 Ultra.
Another bummer with regard to charging is that it doesn't support PPS charging. As a result, it won't charge my phone at the full 25W or 45W that it can use in PPS mode, nor does it supply the flexible PPS voltage that some of my family laptops prefer get the fastest charging times. Still, it does register the 87W needed to fully charge most M1 or M2 macbooks can use, and most other laptops are perfectly fine with 87W of USB PD compatible delivery. It's not enough to give me pause in recommending the Flex, but in my mind a perfect device would support PPS and have 15W qi2 compatible wireless charging.
#Final thoughts#
I think this is a really great device that works perfectly for a travel charger that I take to the office on my in-office days, and will definitely replace the travel dock that accompanies me on hotel stays. It works well for connecting a single 4K display. I wish it had PPS pass through or qi2 wireless charging (or both) but I guess there's hope for a next generation to give me all 3 things in one box. Until then, this HyperDrive Flex will simplify my desk and that is appreciated.

USB hub and power supply in one with some drawback
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Hyper Flex MagCharge USB-C hub works well for for the intended use, but there are a few things that would keep me from buying it again.
Physically, the USB hub feels solid and well made. The hard wired USB-C cable is thick yet flexible. There is a non-slip pad on the full bottom of the hub. The arm for the Magsafe charging ring is very firm, and the magnet is strong. Here's one thing that I dislike, when a phone is placed on the magsafe wireless charger, it cannot be removed without holding down the hub itself, and it feel like it takes considerable effort to remove the phone. Good for some uses, but I find it annoying.
The device is basically two devices in one, a USB hub and a power supply. If you treat these as two separate things it is easier to understand how everything works. I was hoping for a more "integrated" feel for these two devices.
First, as a USB-C hub, the hub allows two USB-C, one USB-A, an SD card, an HDMI connection, and a 3.5mm headphone connection from a single USB-C cable connected to your computer. All of these ports work well and the physical connection is tight and not loose like some cheap USB ports sometimes are.
As a charger it also works ok. But if you want to charge anything other than a phone or other smaller devices, you'll need to plug in a power supply to the USB-C PD port, which is not included in the package.

Compact tech tool for traveling!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The HyperDrive Flex MagCharge is a compact tool that does so much. At first glance it just looks like a mag phone charger that doesn't come with an power supply. But...it actually does so much more. This little gadget has:
2 USB-C ports
1 USB-C with 100W power delivery
1 HDMI port (4K60Hz)
1 SD card slot reader (104Mbps)
1 USB A port
3.5 mm Audio Jack
The 7.5 MagSafe compatable charger isn't super fast - but it is a bonus to have that with all of these other fun tech toys. This is a great tool to transfer photos or files from your SD card to your computer. The main downfall of the Hyper Drive Flex is that it lacks a power supply and the USB-C that it comes with is very short. I wanted to use this as a phone charger on a short trip that I took this weekend because I forgot my phone charger. It was great that I had it as a backup - but I had to plug it in to the computer and then keep it so close to the laptop that I wasn't able to use use it at all while it was charging. And as I mentioned before - it's not a super fast charger. None, the less, it did get me out of a jam!

Great Multi-use Device
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is an excellent multi-use device. It holds a lot of options in a small package. The first thing I liked was the puck for magnetic charging. Given the mobility, and ability to position, you can set it in many different positions in order to charge your adaptable phone and or devices. While a bit more power would be great, it still provides 7.5w of power to get your devices powered back up. Having both USB and c hub is such a great combination so its one stop charging! I also used this to power my 4k monitor and it did an excellent job. No lag screen flickering etc. While plugged into the MagCharge. Using all Samsung devices in my home c charging goes on non stop and this device is always up to the task. The SD reader also worked flawlessly and is a great added bonus to have. This is a very compact charger so personal preference comes into play but for me it is perfect given my setup. This will absolutely go into my travel bag. Given its compact size and having multiple devices this is an absolute must have! I would absolutely recommend this product.
