No multiple displays with MacBook pro
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station had everything I needed to hook up my two displays. I had been looking for a dock with both an hdmi and vga output. But apparently, it does not work as intended with macbooks. It was all over j5create's website but there was no indication before purchasing. Otherwise, this would have worked well.

Posted .Hello,
We are currently working on updated drivers that will allow our devices to work with Big Sur. As of today 12/21/2020 we do not have an ETA on when the drivers are going to be released. We will have an announcement on our website when the drivers are ready. Then you will be able to install the updated drivers and get both monitors to work with your computer. Your patience is appreciated.
Thank you,

It does what you want it to do at reasonable cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using this with a Dell XPS laptop, tied to an Epson ET-8700 printer, a full size mechanical keyboard, and a large screen monitor. It was easy to set up and it works well. The only reason I can't give it more than three stars is that it requires tethering to a separate power cord; I would think it would be a lot more convenient if there was pass through power on this.

Posted .Jeff, in regards to the JCD543 working with your printer, monitor and mechanical keyboard; I'm glad to hear it. The 13 in 1 docking station was specifically designed to have all your needs plugged into one.
Sincerely,

A good choice of hub.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer this to the type that plugs into the usb-c ports on the side of the Mac. This uses only one port, but supplies two usb-c inputs, Allows pass through charging, and has two HDMI inputs... a must for my photo work. I do like the way it rests under the laptop. This tips the keyboard slightly, which seems to make typing a bit easier on the wrists. All in all; Im pleased. Could be cheaper, but then again; everything could be.

Just plain sick!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So easy to set up and so many options for adding other devices and connecting to my lap top. Just what I was looking for when I wanted to "enlarge" my lap top screen but wasn't sure what I needed to make that all happen. It is just plain slick!

Nice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice, easy to use, seems well designed, no issues so far.
I would recommend this to a friend Works, but not consistently
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this docking station, but I seem to have a lot of issues with it. It gets very hot and periodically stops working, causing my mouse and keyboard to freeze or the external monitors to disconnect. I downloaded the driver from the j5create website, hopeful it might resolve the issue, but it didn't help. Overall, it works, but the periodic shut downs cause issues in productivity.

Would not recognize 2nd monitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to get this home and use on my 2 brand new Samsung 27' curved and a 27' flat panel Samsung monitors. I followed the instructions in the manual to make sure it would work. This unit has 2 DP and 1 HDMI. One of the display ports would not recognize the second monitor. I moved cables from port to port and that 2nd port never picked up. I never even got a chance to use all three monitors.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. I hope that I can clear up some of the difficulty that you are having with the docking station. If you are looking at the display outputs on the back of the docking station; the first two on the left are HDMI and DP. Only one of these two can be used at a time. Going to the right there is another HDMI port and a VGA port. Both of those can be used simultaneously together with one of the first two ports. If you have any further questions I would recommend that you contacting our customer service team. They can assist with troubleshooting or any other questions that you may have. Their contact information is on the product packaging and on our website under the ‘Support’ drop down.
Thank you,
The j5create team

Easy to use docking station with my new iMac 24
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to a new iMac 24 and it has only four USB ports so this docking station was recommended to me to allow use of several different connections. Easy to download the software for Mac and easy to use. - just follow the instructions. Provides access for 13 separate functions. I may not need them all but it is good to know that they are there if I need them.

The JCD543 docking station is a great way to get all of your peripherals connected easily. Since it is designed for a laptop rest on top of it so the docking station does not take up much space in your work area.

Docking station
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed something to plug my external hard drive, external cd drive and other devices into. I'm old school as I don't stream my music as I have a large music collection and have them all on an external hard drive and this makes it easy to have everything plugged in for easy access.
