Works Seemlessly
My first experience with Startech was using their 2.0 USB docking station, which caused problems when trying fix the external monitor resolution. I had gone back to Startech and got support from their online help team, who has always been great in handling my questions. They were able to identify a resolution compatibility issue and suggested using the new 3.0 dock. I w...

Not for mac
It stopped working and it's not been fixed. No two screens and no audio feature on newest iOS update.

Works almost as expected
I bought this a while back to work from home. I have an external LG monitor, external wireless keyboard and external wireless mouse. The monitor worked once while connected to the dock. The keyboard and mouse work fine. Ethernet does not work, so that along with the monitor is disappointing.

Slightly annoying
Just set this Docking Station up, windows 10 machine and two screen, DVI and HDMI. Works fine other than a pause occasionally, meaning I have to wait for the the machine to catch up. never had this problem with my machine prior to this.....any advice?

MacBook Air 2015 IOS 10.14.6 - Rock Solid
I'm not going to write a lengthy review, other than to say this device is rock solid on my MacBook Air. Easy to follow instructions on their website re: install. I did have one small issue (my fault) and I called support. Support, in Ohio USA, answered on the 3rd ring. Solved it VERY quickly. I've been using this 6 months, and again, it's rock solid.

USB Devices Keep Dropping
Connecting Docking station to monitor, wired keyboard, wireless mouse and printer via a StarTech switch SV231DDVDUA (2 Port DVI VGA Dual Monitor KVM Switch USB with Audio & USB 2.0 Hub) with StarTech cables.

Great functionality but kiling CPU usage
I've tried a number of different docks and this is one of the best available, but it has caused significantly increased CPU usage to the extent that multi-tasking ability is constrained.

Mostly works, but freezes once day
I have 4 of these docking stations for our small business. The docking stations are generally good and work fine. However, overtime I am noticing that the docking stations are starting to freeze about once per day. The only way of fixing this is to unplug the docking station and plug it back in or restart the computer. Both of which are annoying. Also the S/N I have for...

Works great minus one problem
Bought this device for two work computers. Works very well, easy to install if you follow instructions. Took some fiddling around with monitor brightness/contrast settings to get it right but the picture is great now. Only one problem I'm experiencing with both setups is the keyboard/mouse lags. When connected through the dock, my Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse combo...

Audio quality
I have this dock for more than a year. It works ok. Time to time displaylink software get out date and requires updates. Audio capabilities ( Speak Sound and Mic) are sub par and almost useless. I have to use either laptop's mic or external Bluetooth mic.

Great docking station.
I have purchased five docking station in the past few months. Each one was a plug and play install. Systems work great. There is a small issue with one unit not connecting to the ethernet. I'm sure it's a minor issue and can be easily corrected when I have time to get to units location. All in all, if I need more units I will be ordering them from you guys.

So far, so good!
Bought this to hook together my laptop, monitor, external hard drive, wireless mouse/keypad, and anything else I need randomly! So far, it works well and no issues.
