works like a docking station
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine. Does exactly what I wanted it for. Allows me to connect various pieces of equipment and quickly and easily disconnect should I need to.

Ok - but opportunity for improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked well for an HP I had. Unfortunately it was not compatible with my 2011 MBP. One caveat that I would add - In order to run a dual monitor setup, I needed to run an HDMI from one of the monitors directly into the laptop. The docking station only recognized one monitor on it's own.

Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This enables me to hook everything up for work to one device. Cords out of the way! Someone else hooked it up for me but it was easy enough for me to duplicate when I moved.

Great accessory
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were shown this item in our local store and it has been a game changer for us. It assists us in eliminating lots of cords around our main hub. With so many ports, we have connected many peripherals without issue. We are happy that we purchased this docking station. It has been an asset to our AV production.

Driver issues, more hassle than it’s worth
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very time consuming to setup and it doesn’t automatically work after a restart (need to work from the laptop instead of screens automatically being picked up). Recently, Big Sur 11 was released. I did the update, only for my monitors to stop working as they did previously. After messing around with settings, I went to j5create’s site and saw a huge on-screen alert about Mac users needing to not update their OS yet because drivers were not yet available so displays would be impacted. I’m guessing the expectation is that I’d go to the site for all ancillary office products to ensure each will remain compatible with my system? That’s messy and begs the question: why does j5create have me register a product or provide any personal information if they’re not going to email an update like this?

Posted .Hello,
We are still working on the drivers for Big Sur, but do not have an ETA as of today (12/21/2020). I will pass your suggestion of emailing out notifications on to our management. Thank you for your patience.
Have a good day,

Better than the Laptop Brand Name docking station.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works like a charm. I tried the laptop brand docking stations first but this one is so easy to use and store to take with me.

Surface Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a docking station on Amazon that stopped working after a few days. I decided to go into my local best buy and ask someone there. They recommended this device (I have a surface laptop). So far it is working perfectly.

Great product if you have the other necessary hard
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item serves it's intended purpose. However, I will caution that you need a separate USB type-c power source is you want this docking station to power your device while displaying to multiple monitors. Otherwise, it seemed to be fine.

Not great, look into a hub by Anker instead.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is okay for what it is but I had some major issues with it, mainly that the speeds of the ports were not consistent and the design of the chassis itself was not. When plugging things into the port, they seemed to not fit correctly and you had to apply some force which is scary considering you may damage your own device's cables. Also the display outputs did not work with a converter, whereas they definitely could on some other cheaper hubs. On top of that, it is not a device that's supported with an M1 Macbook. I think that was why the speeds were so bad but also yeah, not the greatest quality and definitely too expensive for what you're getting. Ankers hubs will get your further along with I/O expansion and they are definitely more compact.

Posted .Hi Jaff, thank you for leaving a review on the JCD543. It gives us information on what we need to further improve our devices. Unfortunately, the M1 chip will only support one display on the JCD543 using HDMI or DP since those are PnP. The other video ports are driver base for Intel chips. But we are working to get drivers for M1 computers. To understand what is happening with the USB ports/speed and any question you may have, please contact us by phone, email or live chat so we may be able to troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. Cordially, j5create
Highly Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) to connect 2 27-inch curved monitors for business purposes. The drivers were very easy to install & everything runs smoothly. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a docking station.
