Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good. Everything seems to work out well as advertised. No issues, does get a little warm though.

Allowed me to add 3 monitors to my laptop - 2 through this device and one through the laptop HDMI. Works well. Runs very warm.

Product performs as expected and I am pleased with this product.

These USB-C hubs are very expensive for what they are. If I didn’t absolutely need one to make my laptop more functional, I would never think of buying one of these. I fell in love with a laptop that didn’t have many ports, and paying lots of money for these cheap hubs will definitely change my mind about a future laptop that doesn’t have all the ports I will need.

I use this every day for work, it works great! Great size too

The docking station requires the installation of a driver/software prior to initial use. From there I have not faced any additional work, hassles, or issues (purchased ~2 months ago). The packaging instructions were easy to understand and made the installation process quick and painless. I was up able to install the driver and have my display preferences set in 5-10 minutes. I use the docking station so that I may connect a third computer monitor while working from home. The driver software allows any of the connected devices to be set as the primary screen, which is a subtle value-add (for example, I use a larger monitor as my middle monitor and having this monitor set as the default monitor enhances my user experience. Another nice touch is that you can choose the order in which connected devices are displayed. For example, with three screens, the monitor to my left is display two, and the monitor to my right (which is actually my laptop) is display three. This allows me to move my mouse to the left or right and is intuitive to use.

What can I say? This handy little guy helps me dock my laptop so that I can use large monitors and a nice keyboard and mouse. Very important for me at my age! :-) The Geek Squad helped me choose the appropriate mini dock for my set up.

The mini docking station is a good value but I wish I could have gotten one with a couple more ports in it.

It's a good dock but not great - especially for a hundred bucks. Runs cooler than some of the belkin docks we've bought recently. It works and does what it says it does and you definitely get dual extended monitors with resolution up to 4K so you might have to do some doublechecking that your hardware that you're connecting to it actually supports what you're trying to accomplish with this thing because in my case, after using several of these, they're definitely not the bottleneck with getting things connected the way we want to. The dock connects easily. Setup was plug and play. You might want to grab a three or six foot USB-C extension cable. The cable connecting to the computer is short and kinda limits where you can run your cables to. I wouldn't even think about trying to connect a computer's USB-C power adapter through this thing. I've never had a dock that's done it well and even though I haven't tried it on this one I think it's just a bad idea in general. My only real gripe is that you don't get a lot of connections for 99 or 129 dollars (depending on when you buy it). There's a whole other side of this thing that could be used for a couple more usb ports or maybe an sd card connector. You can get all of that and more for a little more than half of the price of this dock at other places. It is nice to be able to grab one in a pinch though.

This item was a must for my day to day since and easy to set up.

As a long-time office worker I am accustomed to a more traditional "docking station" where you actually dock your laptop on the docking station, where it is powered and all of your peripheral devices are also plugged in. This device is more of a "hub" to plug in multiple monitors and usb drives, but you still have to open your laptop to power it on and then make sure you have it set up correctly with multiple monitors before you close it so it isn't taking up space on your desk. Also, I have not been able to get the power cord to work so that my laptop is charged while connected to this "docking station", so I had to purchase another charger to keep in my laptop bag. It works well as a hub but not so much a traditional docking station.

I tried two other similar devices (returned) before getting the j5create, primarily to drive two external HDMI monitors from my laptop. Also use it for a USB numeric keypad. All work great, and come back from a laptop sleep cycle properly, though I did need to add the optional USB power cable to get the monitors powered enough. My only problem seems to be latency on the second USB port, because I can’t add a mouse or external drive. Luckily I can live without these or use a different laptop port.

I read a few reviews on this docking station before I bought it. I have a Lenovo Flex 14 laptop that has minimal amount of ports. I connected this to the USB C port and then connected two monitors via hdmi, a hard drive and a mouse to this device! Everything works! I have three monitors now! Happy with it!

It works most of the time, which is much better than last Ethernet Multi-Dock units I've tried!

Great mini dock to add more screens to your computer

Got this for temporary use at work. We will be transitioning to a new building and all moving to laptops. Since desktops are going away I decided to stop using mine and turn it in to IT. Running two 32 inch, 4K, desktop displays from laptop with this adapter. Nice to be able to use three displays. The second desk display connected to this dock can't run full resolution, but that really has not been a problem. Most USB-C docks that can run 2 or more displays at highest resolution without issue are way more expensive than this one. And since I really only need it in the interim, I'm quite satisfied. Also chose this dock because it includes an ethernet port, as the laptop does not have one built in. Network connection works great without any issues.

My new computer doesn’t have the old internet cable modem hook up from my cable box….this took care of that and has extra hook ups. I can use my old light up keyboard or the new one with my new computer because it has both hook ups available!! Very happy with this purchase!! It’s a life saver!! Definitely recommend!!

It did what I wanted it to do! I am able to hook up my laptop and two monitors and work from home!

perfect little size. doesn't get too hot and fits as needed

Runs hot. Works most of the time unless it decides to randomly shut down.
