I connected an external monitor, full size keyboard and gaming mouse and it worked. So this works as a docking station to make your iPad Air 4 more like a laptop, this adapter will go a long way towards that. It has a few removable plastic pieces that help reduce stress on the connector. I have used them and appreciated them. External power delivery via one of the USB-C ports powers the iPad.
