Revainrating 5 out of 5

Doesn't work with mouse, gets hot (water polo of death), can't connect anything when using HDMI

I bought this because my MacBook Air 2020 13" only has 2 type connectors and I need mouse and HDMI second monitor Plus USB for USB sticks to download info I bought this dispute it was double the price of others for the same product based on 5 star reviews as I didn't want that - it ruined my laptop. Pros: * It's a good weight so the build looks nice * Color looks nice next to my chrome laptop * USB to wired printer worked Cons: * Mouse doesn't work to a Type-C or USB port for a mouse (my mouse has both ports).I bought it for this exact reason, which means I need to connect a Type-C port to my laptops and I can't use a second monitor with it.* When I plug in a second monitor it gets very hot and when I plug in a charger forget it I have a beach ball. f death. (I hooked up this adapter, the second monitor to HDMI, and the charger, and it got so hot I got a beach ball and locked myself out of my laptop for about 30 minutes.) I had to turn my laptop off and on again. to get it working again because even after force closing all apps it gave me a "waterball" on every simple app. I just talk to the Word doc until I reset it. It didn't start until I plugged it in and made 2 connections from it to my MacBook. Verdict: *I wouldn't recommend this and I wish I'd bought it myself. The main connection I needed it for was a mouse and HDMI, but the USB for the mouse didn't work and the HDMI alone got so hot my laptop started the fan and the beach of death came out.

Pros
  • USB hubs
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
