    Product works well enough, Although a little expensive for basic functionality. I have owned this for a while, and it has spent most of it's life in the drawer. At first it seemed useful, but all ports are limited in some way. Mostly last-gen or older specs on all ports especially power pass-through. If you are ok with that, then this product is for you. Also does not work with android. But if you are like me, this thing will get relegated to the junk drawer. So I would suggest shopping for something full featured.

      The JCD381 requires an installation of a driver and is only compatible with Windows and Mac computers. Will not with Android or IOS. USB-C power-in port allows pass-through charge. However, computers must support "Power Delivery" over USB-C. If you have any questions, please contact our Support Team by Live Chat or a Support Ticket. Our phone support will temporarily be unavailable due to COVID. Thank you. j5create

    Switching between my personal station and work station is so easy now. With my old dock from CODi at a similar price point I needed to send it back as an RMA to get a firmware update when my Intel drivers updated. But with the j5 create I was able to just install the drivers on my work stations and boom I am in business. Transitioning is basically seamless as well.

      Generally, adapters emit some heat as a normal part of its operation. It could run hot, especially if the USB-C pass-through charging and/or all ports on the hub are utilized. Thank you for your review, Denise j5create

    It works but is touchy. Attached usb if touched slightly disconnects monitors. Probably just need to get some sort of additional attachment... Other wise works well and gets it done.

      In the case where the JCD381 is dropping connectivity when slightly touched, it may be the USB-C connector going loose and in such situations, I recommend contacting the manufacturer and seeking an exchange. The manufacturer offers a 2 year exchange period. If interested, please feel free to reach out to the technical support team printed on the casing and an agent will be ready to lend a helping hand.

    My laptop has only a single USB-A port and no ethernet port. This resolves that. However it does run very hot which leads me to believe it is likely a battery drainer, however I have not needed to use it for an extended enough period of time to verify that empirically. The heat is coming from somewhere though, and I'd be pretty certain it's causing excess drain on the battery because of it. I would seek other options.

      In regards to the warm feel; this is normal as electricity is running through the hub. If it gets to the point where the dock is harming you, please contact the support team as it could be defective. The JCD383 is covered under a manufacturer's two year warranty and an agent will gladly exchange it for you.

    It's a good option if you can't get a true docking station from the whoever makes your laptop. I think those work better, but this solution is not bad and usually much less expensive.

    Overall great performance out of a reasonably priced USB-C docking station. Having the ability to charge through this dock is really nice. No need to plug in multiple cords to your laptop. It really could use a couple extra USB ports to include USB-C. Great video display as well.
