This little adapter is perfect for my new 24" iMac which only has 2 thunderbolts and 2 usb-c ports. It will get the job done for all my little peripherals w usb-a's. . I used it all day yesterday during my Zooms and attached 2 ring-lights. After a couple mins of plugging them in the first time the lights would only stay on the dim setting meaning the power waned. I unplugged them and replugged them back in using different ports on the device itself and then they worked fine all day. I'm not sure if it can handle 4 things plugged into all ports simultaneously but for $13/14 it's still worth it. Very small and light and inconspicuous.

Tl;dr despite other reviews, works flawlessly with or without the micro-USB power cable.Reading the other reviews, I expected this thing to be unreliable, flaky, bulky, and overall a waste of silicon, and if it even worked it would need external power. But it was cheap and fit a unique use case I had so I gave it a try.And after using it I don't get the other reviews. It works awesome. Maybe they're using it wrong or plugging it into the wrong ports? It worked on my desktop's rear USB-C, it worked on my laptop's USB-C port, all without the micro-USB power that people claim is necessary to even read one flash drive. yeah it's plasticky but that's the only complaint.My use case was to expand my desktop PC's outputs, as it had a USB-C port that wasn't doing ... MoreTl;dr despite other reviews, works flawlessly with or without the micro-USB power cable.Reading the other reviews, I expected this thing to be unreliable, flaky, bulky, and overall a waste of silicon, and if it even worked it would need external power.

It worked on my desktop's rear USB-C, it worked on my laptop's USB-C port, all without the micro-USB power that people claim is necessary to even read one flash drive. yeah it's plasticky but that's the only complaint.My use case was to expand my desktop PC's outputs, as it had a USB-C port that wasn't doing anything (an ASRock B550 Pro4 motherboard). So I plugged it in, with the micro USB external power in, and it worked fine. I tested it with a Samsung T7 portable SSD that my Anker 4 port USB 3.0 hub couldn't even keep powered. Worked great, getting averages of 150 MB/s of continuous transfer speeds.So, curious, I unplugged the micro USB power cable and just used it standalone. Lo and behold, it continued to operate. Confused, I tried to load it up. 3 USB 3.0 flash drives plus the external drive, and transferred some big files to the SSD. Not a hitch. Same fast speeds. All without external power, with all ports filled.I was even more confused at this point. So I busted out my laptop - a Huawei Matebook D14 with a USB-C charging and data port. It's not a glamorous machine, and was only $500 new. I tried the exact same setup (no micro USB power, loaded up all the ports plus my portable SSD), and it continued to work perfectly. I even swapped one of the smaller flash drives with a Launchpad Pro MIDI controller - that thing draws a lot of juice. And indeed, it functioned without fault. So that's 2 USB 3.0 flash drives, a portable SSD, and a powerful MIDI controller all functioning. So...what's with the other reviews?Maybe I got lucky. Maybe there's a lot of defective units. If not, then people must clearly be using it wrong because I have no complaints. Perhaps it has to do with the USB-C port specs - maybe there are ports that don't support enough power or have slow 2.0 speeds. Then that's the fault of the host device and not the hub. But I'm satisfied, and at this price it's mint.

The hub was working fine, I had no problems, however, when I noticed the hub had a crack I did not want to take any chances that it would stop working correctly and I contacted Ugreen since it was under warranty. The following was sent via email on 3/13/22 to Ugreen. It is now 3/21/22 and I have yet to hear anything from them.I purchased USB X0023KF0FB on 11/13/21 from Amazon. This item has a 2 year warranty. The case for the hub has cracked at the cord end. Copy of order and damage are attached. I would like to request a replacement please.

I have a separate keyboard+mouse, and a second monitor, for my laptop to use at home. I frequently take the laptop with me, so it's nice to be able to connect everything to one hub, so I don't have to constantly connect and disconnect multiple cables everytime I leave the house. It's especially helpful considering that using the laptop ports too often may break them at some point, so at least I will destroy only one port and not all of them at once.As the title suggests, the product does what it intended to do. I think it's fairly decent, and I haven't noticed any difference in reaction time. The only downside so far is that it has only 4 ports, but it's good enough for me.

Be wary of this and USB3 devices and 2.0. Using Logitech Wireless Keyboard & Mouse. Plugging both 2.4Ghz USB dongles into this hub creates MASSIVE lag on either device. Upon Google searching, the problem lies with USB-C power / Mac handles USB hubs and 2.0/3.0 devices.TL:DR: Don't buy this and think you can put all your usb dongles on it and not lag on Mac. Windows? You are fine 100%. I had to buy a USB-C to USB dongle for my Wireless Mouse or it would just lag terribly on this hub.

As a computer dork, I know that USB-C is better than usb-a, but there’s still a lot of products that don’t use it and that’s annoying. Before buying this product I couldn’t hook anything up to my 2017 Macbook Pro because I didn’t have a working adapter. I tried a different one but they were too sensitive and unreliable. HOWEVER, this product is a masterpiece and a must have if you need to connect anything that has USB-A to your computer and you lack the ports. Now I can have my mouse, external hard drive, and flash drives on this bad boy. This hub is even more reliable than regular usb ports, and it provides more than you’ll get with a laptop that comes with them. You need this product if you have a lot of things to connect to your computer!!!

Product arrived on time. Packaging was nice. Feels plasticky but not super cheap looking. Needed it to plug my wired keyboard and external hard drive into 2020 MacBook Pro. Keyboard works without it needing a power adapter but only in the port "closest" to the usb-c wire. When I used the usb port farthest away, the keys would only work sometimes. External hard drive didn't work at all without power cord plug into the adapter. No matter which port I used. I was able to use an older cable that fit and an iPhone 5v charger plug. In summary, a cheaper priced adapter that seems to work fine but only when plugged in to it's own power (power cable not included).

First of all, I love Ugreen. Their USB C cables are outstanding, and I have recommended them here.This is a decent USB hub, with a USB C connector for your device. It's not that small; 4 inches long, and 1 1/4 inches wide. Thus, it is a little larger than the typical travel hub.Sadly, it is a NON-CHARGING hub though, hence the 4 star rating.Yes, it has a micro USB 5vdc input, and it powers the hub, thereby reducing battery drain from the devices plugged into the hub, I suppose, but it will NOT charge your device. I tested it with both my Samsung SM-T720 tablet, and the wife's Note 8 phone. Even with a high power USB hub as the power source, it will not charge the host device.At that famous auction site, I found an unbranded USB C hub which will charge the host ... MoreFirst of all, I love Ugreen.

My laptop has two USB ports and one USB-C port. The other day I needed to use multiple USB ports, which weren't available, since those were in use by my mouse and an ethernet adapter. Obviously, this needed to be remedied. I wasn't sure this hub would work with my laptop, since the description seemed directed toward Macs or cellphones. I'm so pleased this does the exact job I need it for. The next time I have to use more than one flash drive, I'll have it in the bag. Many thanks to this seller!

Many users have problems with Bluetooth on their Mac Mini because so many USB 3 hubs are cheaply manufactured and don't use proper shielding, causing them to interfere with the internal Bluetooth antenna that would be sitting very close to the hub. Unlike many others in this price range, this hub does not suffer from those issues. It's properly shielded and my Bluetooth signal is as strong as ever, even with this hub sitting right next to the antenna.The 2.4A power input is a great addition, ensuring all four devices can simultaneously draw full power, so using power-hungry devices won't cause the other devices on the hub to suffer from insufficient power.It also looks nice next to other Mac products, if that matters to you.Premium looks, full power, and ... MoreMany users have problems with Bluetooth on their Mac Mini because so many USB 3 hubs are cheaply manufactured and don't use proper shielding, causing them to interfere with the internal Bluetooth antenna that would be sitting very close to the hub.

I'd expect to find all these features in the next price bracket up, making this hub an absolute steal. Here's to hoping UGREEN follows up with a USB 3.2 version for 10gbps speeds. I'll be first in line.
