Ok, first things first. This product does not work for my needs, and I will be returning it. This hub uses "Alt Mode" to pull the video signal from the phone to the monitor. The pixel 6 (my phone) does not support this feature of USB C, so I can't use this hub. Please note that this is only a problem on certain phones, the vast majority of phones will probably work great. Additionally, the USB ports work just as advertised, you can even hook up a keyboard with RGB lights and the lights turn on (can't program them though). You can also hook up a USB hub to the USB 3 port (the blue one) to get even more ports. So, why 5 stars? EXCELENT customer support. Its one of those live chat thingy's, they were very responsive and identified the problem almost immediately. I was very impressed. Since I can't give them my money, the least I can do is give them a 5 star review. Summary: if your phone supports DP alt mode, buy this thing.

My title sums up my biggest surprise with this unit. It a very small cube that doesn't take up much space. This is a really nice feature since I'm trying to keep my entertainment center uncluttered. I tested it out with my laptop and it worked perfectly with no lag or boot up time needed. My only small complaint is it's small size makes it that the HDMI wire and even the USB c cable can move it around easily. I maybe have to velco it down to the table to fix that.

I ordered this USB-C mini dock for using it with my tablet, and carrying it with me. And it works with my tablet, but the DC power connector is too large for comfortably taking it anywhere. It also gets warm after little use.

This is a mini USB C dock marketed for use with smartphones and tablets, it's small but it's really not that much smaller than any other USB C hub. Instead of making it longer and thin, they just stacked two rows of ports on top of each other (so it takes up more vertical space, but less horizontal space). For the available ports and the price that this product costs, I'm not sure that this is really a good value. Even though it looks like it's made from aluminum in the photos, it's actually just painted plastic. You get 3x USB A ports, but only one of them is 3.0 (3.2 Gen 1), 5 Gigabits per second. Besides that, you get Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI, but it's 1.4 (so it can't do 4k at 60Hz). The USB C port that connects to the tablet or smartphone has 27 watt Power Delivery for charging which could technically almost be enough to charge a MacBook Air, but overall this dock would not be the best choice if you plan to use this with a laptop regularly. There are lots of good products on the market for 50-70% of what this costs, with more features. Unless you really want the form factor, so you can have a little cube on your desk where you dock your smartphone or tablet, I would go for something else that gives you more ports and better display options. Pros+ Small form factor 27 watt Power Delivery Charging without needing an additional power brick for passthrough charging Includes the wall adapter and USB C 3.1 cable Cons- Only supports a maximum output of 4k@30Hz Only one USB 3.0 port for data transfer Expensive for what you get Made of plastic and not aluminum

At about 2.5” x 2.5” x 1.5”, this must be about the smallest USB-C docking station for tablets on the market. It had no difficulty connecting it to an iPad Pro. This allowed full use of an HDMI 4K monitor @ 30Hz, up to 3 USB-A devices, and gigabit Ethernet. 27W is plenty of pass-through charging power for a phone or tablet, but not for a laptop. Nonetheless, this works fine as a PC dock, as long as you have an external power supply. The 30 Hz limitation will prove frustrating for gamers, but otherwise this works fine for that purpose. Samsung DeX users should find this to be a handy accessory.
