Add Plug and Play Functionality to Your iPad Pro
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Â Useful, compact dongle. I was using this with my iPad Pro with the USB-C port. Simple connection via HDMI to a monitor to stream from the iPad without an Apple TV device. Easy plug and play functionality with a Logitech keyboard to allow for typing on the iPad. And last but not least plug in a USB drive, SD, or Micro SD to view, upload or download photos. Overall, useful when you need to do a little more with your iPad than usual or when you're in a fix and need a quick alternative to get things done.

Mini Hub!
There aren't a lot of options on this USB-Hub, but there's triple the USB ports. They all worked really well. I used the microSD and SD card slots more since I transfer pictures and files a lot. They both worked nicely. The USB-Hub fit perfectly into the box without being able to damage the Hub when taking it out. I've seen those that fit too tightly and it made me not want to put it back ever again. I also had to rip the box to get it out. I like that I didn't have to download an app in order to use it, which has happened to me before. There's 1 HDMI port, but I didn't really have a use for it as of now. I used 2 USB ports though. 1 for my mouse and the other for my keyboard. I couldn't think of anything else for the 3rd USB port since I don't use thumb drives anymore. The double screening is overkill for me... Mainly because I don't have another screen. Because using this hub was so easy, I didn't have to use the manual. I only skimmed through it to see if I'm missing anything or don't know something after I tested the hub on my own. I didn't feel it get hot fast either. I think because of the aluminum and it depends on what is being used. There wasn't a cheap feel to it, but a great quality one. This hub is small, so I was able to take it on trips with me. And! I was able to keep it in the box to protect it too. The box isn't that big of a difference to the hub, so yay! Take this hub on your next trip. It'll be worth it with all those ports and slots. ;)

Great product at a great price. Works just as represented and looks great.
The Samsung laptop I recently purchased lacked sufficient ports. As I have to use some of the things simultaneously, it was critical that I expand my ports This looked like a good choice based on other buyer's feedback. Sometimes there is a correlation between cost and name brand. While name brand manufacturer's offer a similar device for a higher selling price, I don't know that there would be any additions to the quality or performance in this case. You are paying for the name brand at least in this instance.The build quality is fabulous. It looks expensive and feels expensive. While that is great (I did like that it matched the Samsung laptop as if they were made together), the critical thing was performance. I just spent several hours using this and the performance exceeded my expectations.I plugged in simultaneously a 256 GB Samsung Flash drive, a 16GB thumbdrive, a 64 GB SD card and the receiver for the mouse. I opened all devices, moved files from one device to another and on to the laptop while directing the traffic with the mouse. Everything worked as if it was plugged in to its own dedicated port. (Not sure why I doubted that it would work.) Oh and I put in a micro SD card, formatted it and then moved files on and off of it from the laptop and from other drives plugged into the port. If there is any way to overload the system, I didn't find it. Granted my files were not complex (typically photos) but this handled it without issue.If I have a complaint it is that even as small and compact as this device is, I expect with everything plugged into a port, the weight may result in the device coming unplugged if I lift the laptop and fail to support the device. In other words, if I leave it hanging I fear the weight will pull it out. It didn't happen today so perhaps my fears are without foundation. Unless there is an edit hear assume that this is NOT a problem. I move the laptop around with me constantly. I have gotten into watching documentaries (right now I am deep into whales, thank you National Geographic and guys do you have to keep showing footage of the big orcas eating all the babies?). It is great to be able to take a break, watch a bit and then get back to work. Yes I could remove the devices, but them I wouldn't remember where I put them or I would put them somewhere stupid and spend forever trying to find them. From my point it is far more efficient to leave everything I am using plugged in. Hence my concern. If anyone has come up with a way to attach this to their laptop I would love to hear about it. I thought about putting some Velcro on the back of the laptop lid and on the back of this device, but I doubt there is enough cord length. While an overly long cord is a pain in the butt, a few more inches here would have offered me a bit more flexibility. Anyone else who comes up with a way to affix this please let me know.While the seller is providing a gift for leaving feedback that did not influence my rating or my assessment. I rely heavily on the ratings when making purchases and know how important an honest review is. Great product at a great price really does sum this one up.

Good for modern portable workspaces - attach all my accessories to my laptop quickly.
I use this at the office. We have an open office plan, so I take my computer and find a different place to work frequently. I need to plug in my headset and keyboard dongle repeatedly, so I just leave them plugged in to this so I can attach all my USB Type A devices and an HDMI monitor all at once to my laptop USB C connection. Saves wear and tear on the USB dongles, and I never break one off in my computer any more. This device looks well made and feels very solid (no "twist") and seems like it will last quite a while.

Small and Compact
This product was surprisingly higher quality than I expected. It has a space grey aluminum body with a short rubber cable. I have been using this product for about two weeks and everything is working perfectly fine. Although when I plug things in like my phone there is a bit of lag between the time of insertion to recognition on my computer. At first I thought it was broken, but I just needed to wait a couple of seconds first before my phone starts to charge and be recognized by my computer. I use a 2017 MacBook so I only I have usb type C port on my computer and this product makes things helpful. Although I wish there was a usb type C on the Hub because I would have liked to charge while having accessories plugged into my computer. My computer's battery is fine so it's not much of a concern for myself, but if I had a different computer with a smaller battery or the consumption is greater I probably wouldn't recommend if you only have one port. If you have a Macbook or Macbook Air or any other laptop I would recommend this Hub to use. I also tested this on my Lenovo Spectre and it has no problems here as well. I have not use this on products like tablets with a USB type C port, so I don't know how the functionality would work and can not give an honest review about it. All in all, a quality product that is both function and portable.

DO NOT BUY!
I know your probably looking for something cheap, so was I. This was a mistake. DO NOT cheap out haha. this thing overheats with like one port being used and its already messed up one of my sd cards, frustrating that this is even being sold. I can't even begin to imagine of how even so much as a beginner, who does simple things, would use this without a massive hassle. I use this with my brand new MacBook Air and thought it would be great. But I can assure you, try something else, save yourself the money.Thanks.Luke D.

worked well for a few months then developed problems
This hub worked really well for the first 3 or 4 months I had it. Loved that I could plug in HDMI, thumb drive, keyboard - and really like that it has an SD card reader.Unfortunately a few weeks ago it started having problems. First it would connect and disconnect repeatedly at about 1 second intervals. Rarely stayed connected long enough to be able to transfer a file or do anything else. Then it stopped recognizing my USB keyboard. Most recently, whenever it is connected and I try to open a file folder (like from the SD card, for example), it opens a program I use for scanning and editing documents and starts looking for a scanner. I can close the program, but it pops open again - every couple of seconds. This is not a program I use very often, so it's a mystery why it chose that program for its weird behaviour ... Very frustrating and disappointing as it had been a great little piece of equipment for a those first few months.

Absolute garbage product
if u want to connect external monitor using its HDMI to usb-c i.e macbook pro, external monitor screen will go black randomly, happens at least 3-5 times in 5 minutes. Sometime it goes black completely and won't revert. My external monitor is fine. Tt works with other laptops using HDMI to HDMI. The issue is with this adaptor. Very bad multiport adaptor. DO NOT BUY!! I repeat do not buy. I should have returned it in the beginning but i was too lazy

Stopped working after 3 months
Great product while it worked however it started glitching and malfunctioning after 3 months. As a media professional I rely on card readers daily and it's disappointing for it to stop working properly after just 3 months.
