    Compact Space-Saving Docking Station

    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.

    I needed something to provide me with more USB options to plug in my mouse, keyboard and additional monitor. This was recommended by an employee at the Best Buy store and I couldn't be happier with it! This is exactly what I needed! :)

    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.

    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.

    Works great, but might take some work on macOS

    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.

    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.

      Hi Denver, thank you for writing us your experience on the Dock. We like to keep our Host cable connection to a minimum length to avoid signal degradation. The USB port on the power-brick will support up to 12W of charging and automatically balances output when charging 2 devices at once. ** If you require further assistance; please contact the j5create Technical Support team and we will be glad to further assist if necessary. Thank you. j5create

    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.

    This is a very useful docking station. My only gripe is that it wasn't super clear to me that I absolutely needed the power supply that you can buy it with. I ended up having to order the power supply separately. Apparently not every laptop will require a power supply for the dock, but mine kept throwing me errors when I tried to just run my laptop's charging cable through it. So, I have to plug my laptop up directly and also keep the docking station plugged up to it's own power supply for my computer to behave properly. It's not an issue, but it would have been helpful to know that was a possibility up front so that I would have bought them as a bundle.

    This might be considered a value option for what you are getting. 3 display docks don't get much cheaper, and this one works pretty well in my experience. The plastic kind of feels cheap, but in the intended use you probably won't be touching it much anyway. I am able to charge my Zephyrus G14 and run without using the battery in regular non gaming tasks. The DP/HDMI combo port is straight pass-through, so no need for drivers if you only use one screen and the USB. Only the other two video ports require the driver - and they act like external GPU's. If you are using this for gaming, make sure you use the primary output.

    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.

    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.
