A fruit company made me buy this

so i hate keys i just hate them. And I don't understand why fruit companies let us buy keys just to use their products. Keys are annoying. This particular key may look cheap but works perfectly and has endured many rides with me so for the price I can't really complain. For that he gets a great rating. Enabling and disabling different ports is a really neat feature.

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • reliability

Interferes with MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Wi-Fi

I bought this because the listing said it was compatible with a Macbook Pro. While it works well with the Macbook Pro in terms of charging, USB data transfer and connectivity, it destroys the 2.4GHz signal and you can only connect to 2.4GHz networks if you are located directly above the router. Does not interfere with 5GHz. I also have a HooToo USB-C hub and it's working fine so I don't know if it's a shielding or grounding issue or something else, but WARNING: Disables 2.4Ghz WiFi on 15-inch…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Not as good as it says it is

Great idea but design could be better

Great idea but design could be better.Pro. On off. for each connection, blue indicator light, very fast transmission. minuses. I think it depends on the computer but in my setup (Alienware R4). The connector is on the back, so I had to buy a 90 degree adapter. The cable is too short. It would be nice if it was 2-3 cm longer. Aside from being easily accessible, the location of the cable only allows it to be on the right side of my computer. An issue if you're right-handed as the cables interfere

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Damaged

It didn't work for me at all.

Causes my laptop (MSI GT62VR, i7 and GTX 1070) to slow down and freeze. I tried using a mouse with it and the cursor just jumped all over the screen. I tried using a wireless headset dongle plugged into it and the audio was static and stuttering. I tried to connect a USB stick to it, the data transfer rate fluctuated greatly. Plus these devices directly to the laptop and they all work flawlessly. Try using a hub and all of a sudden all my devices behave like they are broken and/or…

Pros
  • Solid surface
Cons
  • Crumpled

The concentrator was good quality and looked great on my desk

Help! Is it a lemon or just an intolerance? The hub was of good quality and looked great on my desk; but it just doesn't work. Hub was purchased for use on a new iMac Retina 4k received 12/31/17: Sabrent HB-UMC4 - 4-port 3.0 USB Type-C hub with separate switches, used with the recommended Sabrent PS -5V4A, none of the connected devices work or even be recognized by the system. Media won't mount, whether it's a flash drive, hard drive, hootoo drive, etc. [The Hootoo drive is getting hot] The…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Almost everything arrived

Read other reviews before buying so you don't buy the wrong one.

Should have read the reviews. Or pay much more attention to performance. THIS IS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. If you want to plug in a USB-powered spinning drive, you're not going to have a good time. Plug in two spinning drives and if they work at all, pressing the power button on one will disconnect and reconnect the other. Good keyboard, wireless mouse transmitter, phone charger. much luck. So many USB devices require more power than this hub can deliver that I'm having trouble making sense of it…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
