Revainrating 1 out of 5

One star is too many

I bought this product for my MacBook Air because it doesn't have USB ports and it's very hard to find one with the number of ports I need (4th generation). ). ) plus a connector for a USB-C cable, which was necessary so I could charge my computer and use an external monitor at the same time. The first device I bought (Silver) only had 3 working ports. I processed the return and ordered it in the color I originally wanted (rose gold). This one seemed to work great! All 4 ports worked and I had no problems for several weeks. About a week after the return deadline, I received a message saying that my USB device is using too much power and that I need to remove it in order to reconnect it to other devices. To clarify, I had a webcam, microphone, and universal charger plugged into something that was powered on, and a charger that was not plugged into anything. I had no problems with it before, but I unplugged both chargers as I wasn't really using one and the other was no longer needed. About half an hour later I got the same message, although at that point only the microphone and webcam were connected (both inactive at the time). The next morning, while I was in my regularly scheduled Zoom meeting, still only connected to those two devices, my camera kept turning off, the mic stopped working, and although the screen wasn't frozen I couldn't click anything because my mouse was stuck like a spinning rainbow wheel of death. The only way I could get it to do anything was to hard reset the computer. When I turned the computer back on, the device didn't work at all. Thankfully, I was never able to get my first device back, so I was able to continue using my setup. return window. I ordered a third device because the product has such good reviews and the design is physically perfect for my needs and is quite stylish. I verified that all four ports were working, then plugged in my stuff. It worked for about 3 hours before it started doing the same thing as the second one I bought. I was able to reuse the original block,
