Charging and keyboard issues
I got this through work and it was not my choice, and I would have returned it if I could.
Windows tells me there may not be enough power to charge even though it is charging. Charger that comes with laptop is only 65W so this shouldn't be an issue.
The keyboard also REPEATEDLY just stops working multiple times throughout the day, including right now when I am trying ...

Display blinks and isn't correctly recognised
This product was delivered with a McBook Pro 16" in order to connect to a secondary display via hdmi. The only result I see is that the display isn't correctly recognised and therefor not usable in the full resolution (4k). It works fine when directly linked, using the same cable, to other laptops.

Works, but gets hot.
I purchased this unit to "upgrade" my new Macbook Pro so I can once again use my peripherals. The unit works, BUT at a cost on power. it gets pretty warm just connected with no attachments. It gets even much hotter when a device (i.e. external drive) is connected. This leads me to estimate, considering the heat produced, that my battery life will be significantly shor...

Doesn't do what it says
Cannot charge my MBP through it. It heats up intensely.
My iPad won't charge when I plug it into one of the USB3 ports.
This thing is garbage.

Response from Staples :
We pride ourselves on our high-quality standards and are sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having with our DKT30CSDHPD. This dock should provide up to 60W charge to your MacBook Pro which should be enough to charge it when not in use, but if you're using it heavily it may not be enough for full speed charging as the included power adapter for the MacBook Pro is 85W. The USB 3.0 ports on the dock provide the standard 5V at 900mA power which, while enough to slow-charge most smartphones, may not be enough to keep an iPad charged if it's still in use since they often require 5V at 2.4A to charge at full speed.
Regardless of the above, the dock should not be heating up intensely and we'd like to speak with you to ensure that the dock you received is not faulty. The DKT30CSDHPD comes with a 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support and you can contact us for assistance at www.startech.com/support. Our Technical Advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

USB ports so slow. Gets really hot.
Takes hours to charge my iPhone using the USB ports. My work paid for it, so I need a replacement but have no receipt. Support can you help me out? I'm a teacher and was really excited to get this device. It also gets really hot.

USB-C docking station for the road warrior!
USB-C multiport adapter with HDMI, RJ-45, two (2) usb Type-A and one SD slot which I use when I a on the road or at customer sites. By just using one port on my laptop I have a fully functional workspace which makes me more productive.
The USB-C multiport adapter is built very well and can take a few knocks when it is in my backpack.

Using as a daily portable docking station
This product is by my side daily as I'm using it as a lightweight portable docking station. It has all the ports you'd need for on the go. It also has a very quality feel as the casing is made out of metal rather than plastic.
All the ports work great. The HDMI port drives my 4k monitor, the gig-e port allows me to stay on the wired rather than wireless network when ...

Great Quality Doc, Many Ports & Stylish
I have been using this USB-C dock with several Windows computers and Android phones without any issues. Like most USB-C devices it starts working almost immediately when connected. The dock does not require Thunderbolt for all this to work.
The dock comes in a box roughly the size of two DVD cases. It comes with an instruction book, but it really isn't necessary as th...

Slick!
This is my new favourite USB-C adapter. I wouldn’t have thought combining an SD card reader, Gigabit Network, HDMI Video and USB hub into one slim adapter was possible, but here it is. Add to it the adapter itself is beautiful; metal casing, smooth and durable. I’ve caught co-workers checking it out on several occasions and commenting on how well it is constructed. It’s...

Nice build quality, Easy to use!
This is a good usb-c adapter for those wanting HDMI video output, expansion of usb, ethernet or SD card. I found this was very simple to use plug in and visit the website to get the drivers, install the appropriate driver and it works. I found the video to work well with a 1080p monitor. This is a good size and the build quality appears to be extremely good.

Excellent USB-C Multiport Adapter
This is a small, space grey coloured USB-C multipart adapter. You will need a USB-C powered (charged) laptop (MacBook(S), Lenovo, Asus Chromebook, etc) that is powered by USB-C, in ordered to take advantage of the USB-C powered mode. However this does not preclude you from using with any other USB-C. It is always best to check with your original manufacturer of your l...
