Replace all your USB-C dongles with this versatile portable hub.

Just received today and used with a 2018 13" MacBook Pro running the latest macOS Catalina (10.15.3). I connected it to: a USB-A mechanical keyboard (KBParadise V60, in case anyone is interested), a USB-A Logitech Unifying receiver through which I use a Logitech M330 mouse, an HP VH240a display via an HDMI port, and a USB-C power pass -through. Everything works fine so far. or tremors when typing with the mouse, and the display works fine in extended desktop mode.The HP display is 1080p@60Hz, so it's well within the capabilities of this hub.Since the hub is USB-C only (compared to Thunderbolt 3), it can't drive higher resolution displays (e.g. 4K) at 60Hz pricier dock for Thunderbolt 3 Build quality is solid A shade darker than the space gray aluminum of Apple's MacBook and MacBook Pro It's quite tr Portable and comes with a nice carry case to prevent it from being scratched in your laptop bag. Although I only use 3 of the 12 ports, the versatility of this hub gives me peace of mind. It has pretty much everything you'll ever need: VGA, Ethernet, SD and microSD card slots, and a total of 4 USB-A ports (two 3.0 ports and two slower 2.0 ports). It has a couple of ports I'll probably never use (DisplayPort and a headphone jack), but they don't really contribute to the bulk of the hub, so I don't mind. UPDATE: I had a chance at work today to test the headphone audio jack and gigabit ethernet port. Both worked great! The audio jack will appear as USB PnP Audio Device in the audio settings panel. Headphones connected to the audio jack and playing music from Apple Music. Sounded great! The Ethernet port shows up as "USB 10/100/1000 LAN" in the network settings. I was able to download a 13GB file in just 2.5 minutes over Gigabit Ethernet.
