Works great from the moment I plugged it in. Use it for my ROG Ally X1 for playing on the TV.
Great product for various capabilities - the JCD383's plug and play nature makes the perfect add on for Windows, Mac, Android, Chrome, iOS users. Sincerely, j5create

I just purchased a new laptop and it does not have any USB-A or -B slots. Only the new USB-C so I bought this one. Seems to be working just fine
Hi, The JCD383 is a great adapter that will add an array of ports to a laptop. It is plug and play with a USB-C port on your computer that supports display port alternate mode. Glad to hear that it is working fine. Have a good day, j5create

Excellent adapter. Perfect for my Air Mac. And with all the multiple porch certainly can adapt to any hardware items that I have.
Generally, adapters emit some heat as a normal part of its operation, especially if the USB-C pass-through charging and/or all ports on the hub are utilized. It can get hot because of that.

Runs very hot. Performance hit or miss.

I got this multi-adapter as an adjunct to my MS Surface Go, essentially as a low-price Surface Dock. It provides a number of useful ports so it can serve as a complete laptop desk center supporting monitors, printers, external disks, and ethernet. It is small enough to throw in your go bag, but don't forget the required cabling.
But, as noted in other reviews, it runs very hot. Essentially, the whole case functions as a heat sink. (You can touch it, but you wouldn't want to hold it.) In various test scenarios, there were problems with completing tasks or requiring long times to complete tasks. I didn't run benchmarks, but I believe the heat was throttling down the device. Further, the heat was there even when the device was idle.
The adapter will run on tablet power alone. I didn't run time tests, but I think it would deplete the tablet battery quickly. The adapter does allow for an external power source.
All-in-all, I think the concept is a good one, but the implementation isn't there yet. Not recommended.
I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with throttling. If you would contact us at our customer service department, we'd be more than happy to troubleshoot this issue with you and get you back up and running at full speed.
In regards to the heat, we do expect that the JCD383 will get warm or even moderately hot but this is well within normal ranges. This product has been stress tested and we have determined that the average maximum operational temperature for the adapter is ~106 °F / 41 °C, while the adapter is under full-load or being used continuously for periods >~ 1hr.
Please remember that ambient temperatures can also affect the temperature of your device and that of the computer it's hooked into. It's recommended that you use your tablet where the ambient temperatures are between 50° and 95° F (10° and 35° C).
In testing, we have found that the average temperature for computers using the adapter is ~100 °F / 37.78 °C to ~140 °F / 60.00 °C, while the computer is under full-load or being used continuously for periods >~ 1hr.
However, if you are noticing that the your adapter is exceeding the average temperature of 135 °F/57 °C, for periods > 30 minutes, you might have a defective product and it may need to be replaced. We haven't had a device exceed anything higher than 112°F/44 °C, for periods <10 minutes.

This is the most reliable and universal hub we've found for both our Mac and Windows users. We've had to replace a few down through the years due to the USB connection getting worn out, but the price means there's also no reason to even consider using something else.
Hi LKM10, thank you so much for giving us your feedback. It is great to hear that you are using our JCD383 and that it fulfills your needs. Thanks again and take care, j5create.

Love it does its job , does get a little hot when I’m using it with my MacBook but over all it’s great
Good performance is something we're always happy to hear the customers comment on our devices - thanks!. Regarding temperature when using the JCD383, we recommend contacting the support team on the packaging in order to have a representative assure you it can be considered normal and what would be something to be worried about in order to better explain, understand the situation and if necessary, offer a solution. Respectfully, j5create

Unit runs VERY hot. Not sure if that’s normal. It doesn’t get much use because I’m afraid to use it.
Using a device that is very hot can be concerning, we comprehend that. In order to better understand the situation, we recommend reaching support on the casing and a specialist will be happy to further explain this doubt; if necessary, offer a solution. Thank you, j5create
