Customer Ratings & Reviews

This USB-C Docking Station was more compatible with both a work PC and a personal MacBookPro than a HyperDrive model. The only drawback is that it is not powered, so when I'm using it, my laptop power is draining. I couldn't find a powered one quickly enough, so I settled for this after a new employer sent me a small laptop.

Nice low profile design with plenty of inputs. I like that it has an SD card reader since newer laptops have eliminated that feature. Be aware that this docking station does not come with a power supply, so I purchased the j5create 100W super charger as well.

Works great with my home office equipment.It was easy to set up.

The shape ultimately didn't turn out to be a positive for me, so I'd probably go for a different more box style (although many of them are like 2-3x the price of this for similar features), and because of that, the integrated USB-C cable is a bit of a hassle. A detachable USB-C cable would work better (I wish they'd develop a locking or magnetic standard for USB-C since its becoming the charging/power standard for many electronics which would help keep a more secure connection). However, the shape would likely work better when used portably, so I'm not gonna knock it for that. Ideally I would ditch the VGA port, and I'd prefer some more USB, especially USB-C ports. Also for a dock this size, an option for say an external SSD slot built into the case would be possible, which would make it extra versatile. I had an issue but its niche and not the fault of the dock. When plugging my laptop's power brick into this dock (to provide the power), it would cause some issue where it wasn't always triggering the power brick to charge, which caused my power strip (which has a master control socket which the power brick was plugged into, so when I turn on my computer then all the devices connected to it would also then activate) to cycle on/off my other devices. This is because my laptop (ASUS ROG Flow 13 2021 model) only accepts full charging from the power brick directly, any other USB-C power is stuck at 60W and seems to cause the laptop to not treat it like its plugged in all the time. So the actual issue is the laptop and my power strip, not this dock.

I've had this for about a year. Using with Dell Precision 5530. Pros: 1. Thin profile is nice 2. Extending my desktop over two screens is nice 3. Convenience when I have to carry my laptop - just disconnect this and the power and I can go. Cons 1. I had to purchase a 100w power source for the hub in order to have 2 monitors set up. Nowhere in the documentation is this specified but using the power source is THE ONLY way to get it to work for the Dell 5530. 2. One or two more usb slots would be nice.

Purchased this thinking it would help free up ports on my pc but i had to return it. I returned this because i could only use 2 of my 3 monitors. I have 2 32in I tried different connections either both monitors connected to this device or one connected to the pic and this device but nothing worked.

So, I needed a docking station that would work with what I currently have and be upward compatible with newer computer technology. I bought this and it works beautifully. I don't have a USB-C port on my current computer but I use a USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapter and it works just fine. It has all of the ports you might need including 2 HDMI video ports + 1 Display Port (DP) for running 2 or 3 monitors at once. There are 3 USB-A 3.0 ports and a USB-C port for charging things or connecting. It also has the usual ethernet port as well. This device is flat and tapered like a wedge. This allows you to place your laptop on the docking station, which saves you space on the desk. Very handy on smaller, narrow computer desks. A couple words of caution: first using the USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapter isn't recommended but it doesn't hurt anything; next, only one HDMI port can be used out of the three available (it's a system thing) if you are using the C to A adapter. Easy work around: get a USB-A 3.0 port replicator and a USB-A 3.0 to HDMI adapter, plug it all together and it works just fine. So far, this has worked flawlessly and when I upgrade my computer to a new model soon, I will have what I need to connect.

It fit my needs well and works well with our system integration.

works well. Product is light and has enough ports for everything.

Works as described. Lots of ports for use. Smart and sleek design helps to keep workspace clean and organised .

Lots of ports but a bit quirky. I bought this to use with my MacBook. I use 3 monitors but I haven’t been able to get all 3 to work at the same time with this. On occasion, this thing decides it just won’t work, so I have to use the screen on my laptop. The updates aren’t all that often. The last update I did is what caused it to not work sometimes. The website is ok but it should be easier to get your update and go. Sometimes, it’s better to just pony up the extra money and buy an Apple product. The thing is this wasn’t cheap, so I’m a lot disappointed. If it worked like it’s supposed to 100% of the time it would be a good value. The uncertainty of “is it going to work today?” when you’re booting up is unacceptable considering the technology available today. Save up and buy Apple.

This is a great product, universal with lots of ports.

Works for its intended purpose. I did have a few issues during setup but I think I have resolved them mostly. I have a MacBook Pro 16in that runs macOS along with windows 10. When setting up my 2 external displays using 2 HDMI ports it hooked up perfectly and windows recognized both displays. I do continue having an issue where my larger monitor is fuzzy causing me to have to change my resolution from its current setting to something, and then change it back. That fixes the issue but it has to be done each time the computer restarts. It only happens when using this adapter if I use my older one this issue does not occur. On the macOS side things got a little tricky. I had to download and install their drivers about 5 times for it to finally recognize the second monitor, while it does work now it technically is “screen sharing” for that display. It does work as a independent “3rd” screen but under settings it shows as a shared screen which I find odd. For the price I would have liked it to be more plug and play with less hassle but overall still happy once it got it working properly. I’d give it a 5 star rating if the screen resolution issue wasn’t present on my windows partition.

Allows me to stream using multiple computers. Allow me to use the ethernet very great multi adapter.

Overall is fast and works great, my only issue with it is that it is not very portable, however it is not meant to be. So if you want a docking station that is portable get a different one, but this one works great for a desk docking station.

It works well but I needed to add the optional power supply ($50 for the J5 brand) to run 2 monitors. It just didn't have the output for my second monitor (I have a 10 ft HDMI cord, may not be a problem with a shorter cord). I like the memory card reader too, I use a 128 G Micro card to backup data and expand my hard drive space. My only dislike is the cord to attach to laptop only extends about 12 inches and is permanently affixed. So I cannot replace with something longer or later down the road if this one gets damaged. I have a complaint about the power supply as well, it has an additional USP power outlet, which I though would be great to charge my phone. Every time I plug in or unplug a cord or device there is a momentary power interruption (2 seconds). On my setup this is long enough to cause the monitors to drop offline and reset the video feed from my laptop. So I have to reconfigure all my screens (move all my windows off the laptop and back to their place on my monitors). Not sure if I got a goofy unit or if all will do this.

This is just what I needed. Very easy to setup and use. Able to plug in my laptop and 2 monitors.

Everything works as it should I like the product. I haven’t had it long enough to give it a five.

Used unit for VGA display, USB A and USB C power. All worked. Unit was very warm while doing these 3 activities. have not tried HMI or DVI outputs.
