"Almost" exactly what I needed...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for a docking station to use with a new MacBook Pro along with existing monitors, wired Apple keyboard and Apple Magic mouse. This handles all of those along with providing power passthru and ethernet connectivity. My only concern is related to some apparent "challenges" upon power up or awakening from sleep mode. Basically, it seems to have issues recognizing my monitor connected via the VGA port. Every time, I need to disconnect the docking station from the Mac and then reconnect before the VGA monitor is recognized and displays anything. I don't have any problems for the monitors connected via HDMI or display port.

Yeah 2 screens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work from home on weekends and furlough days. At work I have two screens and it makes my work a lot more efficient. I finally decided to get two screens for home. Both are VGA, so I bought a HDMI & USB adapter for my laptop. The USB didn’t work. After a lot of research I found out that if I want to extend two monitors it would be best to use my Type-C port. The j5 has a VGA & HDMI I needed. I also can plug in my wireless keyboard/mouse. Everything stays plugged into the j5 and don’t have to plug in a bunch of things into my laptop when I work from home. Just the Type-C plug and I am good to go. Great purchase if working from home.

Can only get 1 additional monitor to work.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great except I bought it to connect 3 additional monitors to my laptop and it only allows one. There is 3 slots for monitors but I cannot get 1 to work.

Posted .If your USB-C port doesn’t support DP Alt Mode, then multiple video outputs via the dock won’t function properly.
The dock requires one of the specified combinations (HDMI + VGA + DP or HDMI + VGA + HDMI), using the two HDMI ports and DisplayPort simultaneously is not be supported.
The VGA+HDMI (not the HDMI under the "OR") requires an installation of a driver. Drivers are located on j5create website under the "Support" tab.
If the dock is bus-powered (not using external power), or the laptop is not supplying enough bandwidth, some ports may not initialize properly for multiple displays. Use an external power adapter for the dock (if not already) and ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected.

Two computers, one desk, no problem
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Allows me to go from work to home mode and vice versa in a single act of changing the device to which the usb-c cable is connected. Sometimes Windows doesn't like to recognize one of my monitors after I switch devices, so occasionally I unplug/re-insert one of the monitors, but since it's like a rear extension of the laptop, it's easy to reach and resolve.

Great item for computer needs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with the new iMac where all they have on their system is the USB-C's. I have my external drive set up on this as of currently, and works great. I am sure it will come in handy when I plug in my drawing tablet that needs to be connected to a HDMI cable port with 2 USB slots. The item does not take up that much space, but it is something to consider if you have a small desk or workspace. Despite the length in size, I would definitely get this if you are someone like me, and I am sure as everyone else, who still needs a regular USB slot for everything.
