Gets the Job Done
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I completed my home office and I needed a dock that would allow me to use my work laptop and personal laptop for my two monitors. I picked this item up while I was in-store. Firstly, it's a well made device. It feels sturdy and all the inputs secure the connecters well. I love all of the connections it offers. It does its job fine as a dock, but that really all I can say about. One negative is that I had to install drivers in order for it to work properly. I've never had to do that for any of the docks I've used in the past, so keep that in mind if you have a work laptop because your IT security policy may not allow to install the drivers. Another thing that I'll count as a potential negative was that when I used the two HDMI outputs to my monitors, I had some weird screen mirroring on the far-right side of my secondary monitor. Tried different HDMI cables and the problem persisted. I ended up buying a Display Port cable for the secondary monitor and had no problems ever since. Also, this dock supports 3 monitors via VGA, HDMI and Display Port. You kind of have to pick and choose which connections you want use. One of the HDMI ports is linked to DP so you can't do HDMI/HDMI/DP. A triple monitor setup will have to involve the VGA connector (VGA/HDMI/HDMI or VGA, HDMI, DP).

Great, but too long.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has every port you could possibly need at the cost of portability. I returned it only because it’s too long to travel with. I would have preferred they stacks some ports on top of each other rather than all in one row. That would’ve made the device thicker, but that would have reduced the length and made it easier to fit in some smaller backpacks and desk.

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.

Good product but may not work with certain laptops
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station is good in terms of portability and ease of use. It was working well for one of my laptops but the other one required switching the HDMI cable to an alternate port every time. There is no power cord included as well. Not a show-stopper given the reasonable price though

Great when it works
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the design of this dock. It is out of sight, and it is simple to set up. However, I use a dual monitor system, and for some reason, oftentimes one of the monitors does not receive a signal, which results in the loss of the monitor. I have found that unplugging and replugging in the monitor HDMI cable to the dock will usually resolve the problem. Like anything else, I’m happy with it when it works, and not so much when it doesn’t.

Posted .Available USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. For troubleshooting, please uninstall and reinstall drivers. Update computer such as BIOS, chipset, S&H drivers, etc. Test with another HDMI cable or HDMI port on monitor.

Perfect Permanent Dock for MacBook Pro
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item was purchased as a gift for my wife, and replaces an earlier dock she had. The dock she had before had issues with falling out of the ports on the side of the MacBook Pro because it was not tight enough, and also had issues with not enough ports. This j5Create dock solved every single one of those problem, plus takes up zero space on the desk since it sits under the front of the MacBook Pro. Frankly, its the perfect dock for a permanent style dock.

Does the job
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.easy to set up and does what I need to do. I use a surface laptop and was able to extend it to my dual monitor setup. Think a fair price would be $100.

Posted .Hello Bryan,
Easy setup is an important feature with any computer peripheral. While the JCD543 does require drivers some operating systems will automatically install them. We appreciate your feedback regarding the price point of the docking station.
Thank you,

USB-C docking station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station is perfect for power users and people who want two screens with the use of a laptop. Was easily able to hookup my work computer via USB C and get my 2 monitors, mouse and keyboard working on it with no issues. You will need to install software for it to work on your computer, so if your work organization doesn't allow that you should ask your workplace if they provide docking stations before purchasing.
