I use this USB-C dock with my work laptop, which doesn’t have very many ports other than USB. My company provided me with one very large expensive USB-C Thunderbolt dock, but I use the laptop both at home and at a few locations at the office, and it’s silly to carry the big dock around. This dock does everything that the more expensive dock does except have a button to turn on the laptop, but it does everything else just as well. At this price I could keep one of these at each location already connected to the monitors and peripherals, and just plug the dock into the laptop with one cable. Highly recommended.
This is an incredible little dock! It has absolutely everything you could possibly need on it, and it’s tiny for what it can do! This has a permanent spot in my laptop bag to carry around with me everywhere I go, because it’s just so incredibly versatile!
What’s even more amazing is that they haven’t even gone full budget on the ports. You get 4k@60hz on the HDMI ports, and 1000mbps on the ethernet port! There are a lot of docks out there that only support 100mbps internet, so it’s great that you get high speeds and high resolutions!
There’s a pass-through charging USB-C port to connect your charger to, another USB-C port, and 2 full speed USB-A ports
Overall, I think this is a fantastic dock for the price and I would highly recommend it!
Lightweigh, as it is not a metal. Have checked every port and everything works fine. Connected it to my MacBook without any problem. Really good price as there is so many ports
It fits my need perfectly. Now I can plug all my connections to this adapter including 2 monitors, ethernet cable, headphone, mouse, keyboard, etc. Now I just need one quick disconnect/connect for my laptop. It is relatively cheap for its functions and worth the money for the convenience.
he only problem I had was the sound, which was very low despite of changing the setting on the laptop.
This docking station is lightweight and easy to carry. It has 12 pots which can connect plenty of devices to your laptop. USB C is quite fast so you don’t need to worry about the low speed. The cable is short which is easy and safe to put on the table. It looks sturdy and durable. Just the price is on the high side.
I thought this was overpriced for what it is, although it is good and does everything. But if you don’t need all the additional ports go for something cheaper. If you are a computer geek and use daily technology then buy this as it has everything you’ll need!!
I have several devices connected too it.
I haven’t noticed and data sluggishness etc.
So, I’ll call that a win.
Ideally I’d prefer to see it costing 30-40 but,
this is okay.
The video shows exactly what you get and my initial impressions of build quality as well as a quick overview of the ports, so I won’t go into all that here. Instead, I’ll go into what I consider most important: the transfer speeds and the port functionality. Full testing methodology included below for your information, but really, the summary is all you need to know.
Summary: In this case, you really do get what you pay for. Extremely fast USB 3.1 speeds. All components met my expectations when benchmarked. A good barometer of the quality of the components used is the Micro SD port – a lot of manufacturers use cheap Micro SD readers in their hubs that only achieve 20-30 MB/s. This one got 94.42MB/s, suggesting that quality internals have been used. This hub is capable of outputting video to an external display, although you should remember that the USB C port on your computer or device must be able to display video over USB C to use the display features (not all USB C ports do). Equally importantly – if you’re wanting to extend your desktop over multiple monitors, please be aware that you can ONLY do this on Windows – Mac will clone one display to multiple monitors (i.e. each monitor showing exactly the same thing) using this hub but not extend the desktop. Windows will allow the desktop to be extended over multiple monitors (i.e. different things on each monitor).
Pros & Cons:
+ Good/expected: Very little drop in performance for the USB 31 Type A, USB 2 Type A, Micro SD, Network and Power Delivery ports compared to plugging in to the computer directly.
+ Good/expected: DP and HDMI ports worked without issue.
– Bad/disappointing: None.

I’ve got a few USB hubs here, but this one has by far the most connections.
Everything seems to work well, and I’ve had no problems with it.
Only thing I haven’t tried is the HDMI connection, but that is due to a limitation of my laptop, and not the hub iself.
A fantastic piece of kit that offers all the ports which the manufacturers seem to have removed over the last few years, allowing you to dock your laptop and plug in just one (or two) cables is simply amazing and makes the transition from mobile to rest too setup fantastic. The build quality is great and all ports feel sturdy and the unit itself is also solid and well made. Overall a fantastic piece of kit that everyone should own.
While this hub can drive to monitors, has a camera card reader, and has an ethernet port, I’m using it for its USB/USB-C ports as an extension of my CalDigit T3.
The ports give me more flexibility as I have multiple external hard drives and SSDs connected to my Mac Mini.
The hub works well for this.
This 12-in-1 docking station is great if you always run out of USB ports, HDMI ports or any other useful ports on your laptop.
This docking stations has:
1 *DP port: Resolution 4K @60Hz
2 * HDMI ports: Max resolution up to 4K@60Hz
2 * USB 2.0 ports: Data transfer speed up to 480Mbps
2 * USB 3.1 ports: Data transfer speed up to10Gbps
1 * PD 3.0: Up to 100W power delivery
1 * SD card slot: Speed up to 104MB/s
1 * TF card slot: Speed up to 104MB/s
1 * Mic & Audio 2 in 1 Jack: 3.5mm Jack
1 * RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet: 10M/100M/1000Mbps
As you can see with this amount of ports you will be able to use many more devices at once and this could be one of the most useful thing you bought for the laptop or your PC.
It works well, just as advertised and after testing all outputs for their speeds or power I can confirm it is accurate and spot on with the outputs.
If you have doubt and not sure if your device will be compatible with it you can easily find compatibility list and things you can do with certain devices as the biggest difference will be between windows and Mac users and certain things would not work on Mac devices so you should check well before ordering one of these.
The housing for this docking station is made of metal and it feels pretty sturdy and a bit heavy, nearly as heavy as a modern Lightweight laptop. However, metal housing helps with heat dissipation and you know it will last if properly used.
It is definitely in a higher price range but once you get one of these you will never look back and you will be able to plug in any device you want.
A very stylish USB-C hub that would make a perfect travelling companion. This hub has all the ports I think I would ever need as of today. Multiple ways of connecting to monitors gigabit Ethernet, SD and TF cards and additional USB ports. Hub feels warm to the touch when it has been plugged in for a while.
The hub has a small green LED to show it is connected, 2 small LEDs to show activity on the Ethernet port. It is lightweight, has a short cable to plug into a USB-C port, all packed into a lovely metallic finish. Lives up to the term “Docking Station” in the product title, I would definitely recommend this hub to a friend.
This is a great quality USB C docking station. It has excellent connectivity speeds and is great for streaming movies from my laptop to my TV.
Very impressed with the number of sockets available- I’m always running out of USB slots!
Docking stations are becoming more popular with so many laptops, tablets, and phones coming with little to none in the way of ports. These allow portable systems to connect to desktop devices like monitors, network, USB, etc.
This docking station arrives in a small retail box along with some instructions. The case of the dock is made from metal, which not only offers good strength but also shields the electronics from interference. There is one fixed lead terminated in a USB-C plug, and this plugs into the portable computer.
Once plugged in, the dock offers 2 HDMI sockets, 1 DisplayPort socket, 2 USB 3.1 sockets, 2 USB 2.0 sockets, 1 RJ45 Ethernet port, 1 SD card slot, 1 TF/microSD slot, 1 3.5mm audio socket, and 1 PD Power Delivery socket. That’s quite a range of ports!
All three video sockets can be used simultaneously as long as your OS allows it. However, the display resolutions will be limited to 1920×1080 on a Windows PC. The USB 3.1 sockets are actually 3.1 Gen 2 and can transfer at up to 10Gbps. Both the SD and TF slots can be used simultaneously, which isn’t always the case. If your system relies on the USB-C socket for charging as well as data, then simply connect the charger to the PD socket and the charge will be passed through to your device. Please note, this socket will not pass data.
Overall, a solid dock with lots of ports. I hope that helps.
I’m using this for our church livestreaming, which lets me connect an ethernet cable for transmitting IP camera video feeds to the computer and the stream out to the internet. Also connected to this hub is our sound system input and a wireless mouse through USB. The HDMI port sends the broadcast to a TV in our nursery (via fiber optic HDMI cable). I made sure both HDMI out ports work, though we’re only using one of them (keep in mind, these are HDMI out, not HDMI in). We stream from a laptop that gets used elsewhere throughout the week, so it’s nice to be able to connect all of these devices through one simple USB-C connection.
The unit is made of metal all round and has a nice brushed finish to it. The attached USB cable is firm and sturdy. The ports all have a good feel, none being too stiff or too loose when other devices are plugged in.
Gone are the days of need to get one of those docks that laptops sat in, this little USB hub does the job instead, and looks better doing it. I’ve found it useful in 2 ways mainly. The first way is to leave it at home, leave the HDMI, ethernet, power supply, mouse, keyboard, and USB storage plugged into it, then all I need to do is connect the USB C port into the laptop and all of the connected stuff works through just 1 port.
The 2nd way was actually with my mobile phone. The Galaxy phones have a feature on them that lets you connect the hub to them through their charge port, then hook up your display, mouse, etc, and basically run the device like desktop computer! It’s great.
It’s not often I see these hubs around with a Display Port on them, but this one has one just in case it’s needed. It says it can handle two displays at 4K60 on this, but I only had 1 to test, but it worked perfectly. There’s also a card reader on here for SD and Micro SD. The USB transfer speeds are rapid, and transfers happen at the same speed as they do when connected directly to my computer.
I noticed that when plugging in a device that requires power, like charging a phone or powering an external display, there’s a slight low pitch noise the hub makes. It’s only noticeable in a quiet space, but I thought it worth mentioning. I’m happy with the unit over all though, it performs perfectly, feels like it will last, and I don’t think the small sound detracts too much from an otherwise perfect package.
Right out the box it works perfectly. I haven’t had any issues with it. it was fully compatible with my computer and I didn’t have to install any more software which was nice. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be. I did think it was a little expensive for what it was.
This Mosirui 12 in 1 Laptop Docking Station was a lightweight, yet sturdy aluminium hub. It is just plug in and go and provides more than enough connectivity for my personal requirements. My dual monitors are set up and all the other ports I have accessed so far appear to working efficiently. I would advise checking carefully that your laptop supports this Docking Station, otherwise my only concern would be that it is quite expensive.
Numerous devices and numerous uses and this still performs really well.
I’ve had up to 9 devices attached to this at any one time so far and they all worked flawlessly. No issues with quality or lag, in terms of responsiveness.
This adapter has helped me become more efficient with my work and it works seamlessly.
Often when you use add-ons for the PC, they feel a bit ‘loose’ like they are working but you’re not sure how or if they will continue to do so.
Other things, and its rare, feel solid, like this unit everything works instantly and consistently and it feels like quality that will just keep on an on and never let you down.
I have this next to my monitor, plugged into a USB-A to USB-C converter then into a 2m USB-A extension cable to the PC base unit. SD transfer was very quick and solid.
Nice metal case. Recommended.
You do get two 4K HDMI ports and a 4K DisplayPort, so up to three monitors can be connected. There are four USB ports, two of which are USB 3.1. Then there are the usual suspects — SD/TF, audio and Gigabit Ethernet.
Do read the description and check the details though. There are some limitations to be aware of, especially regarding support for multiple monitors.
The hub seems well constructed and durable, despite the light weight. It’s nicely finished too.
My conclusion is that, if you don’t need multi-monitor support, you might do better to find a hub with just one HDMI port that adds a couple of USB-C ports. If, however, you have two or even three monitors and don’t need USB-C, or don’t mind using USB to USB-C adapters, this seems to be an excellent hub at a reasonable price, currently 53.99 — and the price may well have come down, by the time you read this.
I really like this docking station. The highlight of this one is of course the support for multiple monitors. Being able to support up to 3 displays from a single dock is no small feat. The display resolutions will be limited to 1080 if you use all 3 but you can’t expect more from a single USB-C. It has everything you need to replace a full-size dock, all crammed into a nice and compact portable little unit that will slip into any laptop bag. DisplayPort and HDMI, USB ports, sd slots, audio jacks, ethernet port, as well as passthrough charging, this device will make the absolute most out of your laptop’s USB-C port provided your laptop has a port able to provide all this functionality. Build quality is great, the cable feels solid, very impressed.
The docking station comes with 12 connectors:
* 2 USB-A 3.1
* 2 USB-A 2.0
* SD slot
* microSD slot
* Ethernet connector
* 2 HDMI
* 1 DP
* USB-C Power Delivery
* Audio connector
Overall, I really like the versatility of this USB C docking station. I tested it out with both my laptop and my phone and it performed excellently with the laptop and pretty well (better than expected) with my phone.
Throughout my testing I had 10 of the 12 ports connected:
* microSD slot — microSD card
* SD slot — microSD card in an adapter
* 2 x USB 3.1 connectors — 2 SSD drives in external enclosures
* USB 2.0 connector — dongle for a wireless keyboard and mouse
* USB 2.0 connector — wired headset
* Ethernet port — wired internet connection
* HDMI 4K connector — a 24″ 1920×1080 monitor
* DP (Display Port) connector — another 24″ 1920×1080 monitor
* USB-C PD connector — connected to a high-wattageUSB-C power supply
That left 1 unused HDMI 4K connector which I used by switching between the 2 HDMI connectors and the audio port which I didn’t test (mainly because I was using a USB headset).
When testing with my laptop everything worked perfectly all together without any glitches. VERY NICE! All 4 of the SD & SSD hard drives were available along with my wired ethernet internet, wireless keyboard & mouse, and wired headset. Everything displayed perfectly on my 2 connected monitor and the laptop was charging from the USB-C PD connection on the docking station.
The only things I can’t comment on are how it would have done with higher resolution monitors or connecting 3 of them at the same time. Also, can’t say anything about the audio port.
Next, I connected the docking station to my phone and was pretty impressed with how that went. I had to experiment a bit but was able to get most everything working together. I found that things worked best if I restarted my phone with the docking station connected and let it discover all the devices attached to it.
If I plugged individual drives into the hub after my phone was up and running, I’d sometimes lose access to a previously connected drive and then my phone would request that I reboot it because an external USB drive was disconnected without unmounting it first. Similar issues occurred when I connected a second monitor when the phone was already running.
But here’s the nice thing. If I booted up the phone with everything plugged into the docking station and it into the phone, then it ALL WORKED. WOW!
My phone instantly recognized my mouse and keyboard, the 2 SSD drives and the 2 microSD drives, the headset, and the wired internet. There were a couple of limitations. First any external USB drive that was formatted NTFS was only available read-only. I believe this is an Android limitation, not because of the hub. Also, whatever was displayed on 1 monitor was exactly the same on the other — not that I’d expected my phone to support multiple external monitors.
So, if you have a lot of USB peripherals and multiple monitors that you want to connect to a phone, tablet, or laptop, I’d say you have an excellent chance of it all working really well together with this USB-C docking station hub.

Check the product listing to ensure that it covers all of your needs, and matches your equipment specs.
The hub is small, which is surprising given the array of connection possibilities, and it has made my work from home set-up much tidier, and less cluttered.
I can download an upload files from my hard drive, SD and USB to both my iPad and MacBook. As I have an older, MacBook without USB-c I do you have to use an adapter but have no issues with that.
It’s pretty lightweight in comparison to my last one. Great for creatives. I’ve also noticed no lag on transferring files including raw images.
Excellent quality and value for money. Instantly connects to devices and holds signal/communication well. Seems well made and set to last.

The Mosirui 12-in-1 hub is plug’n’play without the need to install drivers or other software which makes life easy for those of us who are not too technical.
To benefit from all the features of the Mosirui 12-in-1 hub the USB-C port of the laptop it is connected to needs to support data transfer, power supply and video output. If the USB-C port only supports one of these features, the hub will only support that feature.
Check the listing to see if your laptop is supported or contact the seller if your laptop is not listed or you are unsure.
I found every port on the hub worked as they should. My 4K monitor ran at it’s full resolution @ 60Hz and every device I connected to my laptop via the hub was recognised immediately and functioned without fault.
Several different types/sizes of memory card are catered for via the SD and TF slots.
At the time of review the price for the Mosirui 12-in-1 USB-C Docking Station was 76.99 with a Black Friday deal discounting it to 53.89. At the discounted price the Mosirui hub is a very good deal, it is well made and feels rugged so it should stand up to knocks. At full price it’s value for money rating takes a bit of a knock but your still getting a quality item which provides all the connectivity most people will need.
: Top Tip : The hub has an Ethernet port. This is the most important port for me, as it saves having to use slow Wi-Fi.

I hope you enjoyed our time together .
Thank you for reading my review .
Before we begin, I got this item at zero cost through the Vine programme, that doesn’t mean it gets a positive review though. User reviews are important, they’re genuinely useful to buyers and we should use them, so here comes an honest and hopefully helpful one.
In the box …
… you get the USB hub and some printed material.
Build quality …
… is excellent. The body is metallic, the sockets are solid and the cable is robust.
In use …
… it works well. Driverless install under Windows 7,10,11.
Data transfer rates were tested with an SSD HDD and maxed out only limited by the SSD itself. The same could be said of the memory card readers. The only limiting factors were the cards themselves.
The display port was able to output a 4K stream at 60Hz on a single monitor output. The HDMI sustained a good 1080p stream at 30Hz on dual outputs. I didn’t facility to test the DP and both HDMI ports at the same time, but no reason to suspect it wouldn’t perform as it claims.
The USB3.0 headers worked as they should. They don’t allow you to fast charge a mobile device from them when connected to a computer solely by the USB-C connector.
The 3.5mm audio jack allows for audio in and out, just needs configuring in your OS.
The ethernet connector synched at 1000mbps fine.
As for pass-through charging of devices, I tested with a MacBook Pro and a Dell laptop, both of which were able to charge whilst in use.
The bottom line is this, the device performed as it claimed it would in the product listing.
Overall impressions …
… are favourable.
Solid build.
Adds lots of connectivity.
Performs as advertised.
One thing, the price. It’s not as cheap as counterparts.
And the big question, would I buy it? …
… IF I had need of so many video stream outputs I might. Perhaps then it’s worth the price tag (just over 50 at time of review).
If you’re like me and have a ridiculous amount of peripherals to plug into your laptop, you NEED this! I’m able to connect both of my screens via HDMI as well as an external mouse and keyboard with leftover ports. I was also shocked by how lightweight this is — you’ll hardly notice it. It’s easy to throw into a backpack or purse if you want to work away from home. Overall solid product for the price.
Very stylish and light weight C adaptor multiport hub
I love having a small length of cable from the hub to your laptop allowing plenty of room to connect various devices to your hub very happy
I really like how versatile this hub is you can insert memory cards and USB sticks etc very happy great extension to my laptop
It does come with a hefty price point of 77 and it’s a shame that is only a C adaptor for connection and it fits my might book a treat at the mome
This review is for the USB C Docking Station 12 in 1 USB C Hub Multiport Adapter Dual Monitor Dock Laptop Docking Station with DisplayPort 2 HDMI USB 3.1/ 2.0 100W PD USB-C RJ45 Audi for MacBook, Dell, Surface, Thinkpad ”
A great product that arrived well packaged and on time. This is a great USB device that provides lots of connections. It is perfect for a home office to sort out all your cables and keep it tidy. Great product. Would recommend.
This is a great way of dealing with the lack of ports that modern laptops have.
With laptops getting smaller and thinner, a lot of them are sacrificing their ports and connectivity, and this device is a great way of countering connectivity options.
This unit breaks out one USB C port into 2x USB 3, 2x USB 2, 2x HDMI, 1x display port, 1x headphone/microphone jack socket, 1x network RJ45, and a SD and Micro SD card reader ports. Theres also a USB C power delivery port. The unit feels pretty sturdy, with a aluminium body.
This is a fantastic item to have if you use your computer on the road, and then connect it to peripherals at home, and are using this as a docking station. Its great to have the two USB 2 ports so you can use a keyboard and mouse when docked without taking up a USB 3 port. Having the ports for multiple monitors is great if you use a multi monitor setup, and the productivity boost it can bring. Its also great to take with you so you can adapt your connectivity to your location. For example, if you need to connect to monitors to run a presentation, or have to use wired networking. I am a big fan of having the memory card slots too because of the help they give me moving data round from digital cameras and 3d printers.
Overall, this is a great way of dealing with the lack of ports on a modern laptop, and is a great addition to your laptop bag.
Very well made handy addition for your laptop . Seems like it will last for a while. Easy to use. Seems a bit pricey but if it will last for a while then it’s worth it. And it looks like this will.
The docking station out of the box looks fantastic; the case is made of aluminium and looks very purposeful.
All four sides of the hub host multiple sockets, which, despite their size, are full of functionality for something that fits on the palm. On one side, you have various input sockets that enable you to connect to two monitors. On the other side, you can insert SD cards, but this is a feature that I do not need to use. I have tested it with two monitors, and it works brilliantly.
Connecting the HDMI leads from each monitor to the docking station was necessary to connect my two monitors. The lead is heavy-duty. It is a tidy piece of kit, and with my limited technical knowledge, I could connect a USB-C male-to-male lead to my laptop and the docking station.
It does what it says on the tin and serves its function well. I assume that gamers who use two screens might find it a simple solution to hook their monitors. It is a bit pricey, but it is a quality product and works well for me; I can recommend this product.
The hub also charges your laptop, you just plug your laptop charger straight into the hub, then the hub into your laptop, and it will charge with 100w’s. There are also 3 USB ports which I use for plugging in my Bluetooth mouse dongle, and my webcam. There is an Ethernet port which is useful if you don’t have good wifi coverage.
You also get a 3.5 mm headphone jack for your headset, and you get a Micro and normal sd card reader which I have not tried yet since I don’t have any sd cards.
It is surprisingly small, I thought it would be quite chunky, but it’s smaller than my phone, and its light at only 130g.
I would recommend this to someone who needs to add extra ports to their new laptop.
This docking station works perfect for my work from home setup! I needed a way to extend my display to 2 monitors and this allows for just that. I am able to do a 1-2-3 or A-B-C setup. It was very easy and straightforward to use, I’ve had no issues with it at all. The docking station itself is very lightweight but well made. The dock plugs into your laptop/PC USB C port, there is another USB C port on the dock itself to plug in a charger or power cord. This is a great product and very convenient to have for busy workspaces. All ports work as intended with no lag or delay. Very impressed! Would definitely recommend!
This dock is excellent. It is nearly perfect for my uses. The complaints I have are all with how the dock is physically laid out, but the technical aspects are all excellent.
The layout of this dock causes two issues for me, and one omission which is more of a bummer than an issue. If you stare long and hard at the pictures, you could deduce the same complaints, but I’ll enumerate them here for easier reading.
First, the USB connector of this dock is very short and non-removable. If you plan to have the dock on the same side of your desk as the output on the computer, then this will not be an issue for you. However, my computer’s USB outputs are on the left, and the dock needs to go on the right. I needed to buy a USB-C extender, and good-quality doesn’t come cheap there.
Second, the placement of the USB ports doesn’t work for my setup. There is one USB 2 port on the back, one on the front, and two more USB 3 ports on the front. It would have been nice if all the ports were USB 3, but I accept the compromise there. That said, I would rather have had one of the USB 3 ports on the back, so I could plug my USB 3 hub into that and then plug in my mouse, keyboard, headphones, and webcam. I’ve instead had to plug that hub into the front of the dock, which makes the cable layout messy.
For the bummer, it’s too bad there isn’t a USB-C data port on this dock. With many modern phones shipping only a USB-C to USB-C cable, this would have been nice-to-have to connect the phone to the computer for data transfer, app development, etc.
That all said, this dock is a huge upgrade for my desk. The USB power delivery works well, and the dock doesn’t seem to draw much power so my devices gets good charge speed. The DP-alt mode is exactly as described, though I’m only using one monitor there could be up to three. The manufacturer included a nice book with a table of the monitor outputs supported based on the standards level your device supports, which saves hours of pondering through technical documents to try to come to the same conclusion. As expected, my older work laptop drives my 2560p monitor at only 60Hz, while my new personal laptop can drive the same display at 100Hz.
The USB connections, power delivery, and video output are all stable so far. The dock even has a neat feature where if you disconnect the input power supply, it will continue to function by drawing power from the laptop, which isn’t true of most of the powered the docks I’ve used in the past and makes this one far more versatile as a traveling companion.
Overall, this dock has greatly improved my life compared to my previous setup, and it would work even better for someone who has a simpler setup and wants to use it on the left side of the computer.
I’m using this on a MacBook Pro and it worked simply by plugging it in, no fight. So far each port workss, so no issues there.
My only small complaint is the network port. The cable snaps in and the port works, but removing the cable is not easy. It feels like I’m going to break the unit. It just doesn’t seem to want to disconnect nicely.
I really like this docking device as it gives me immediate access in using dual monitors. This dock also keeps my cables secure and well organized on my office desk. Working from home the desk space was being challenged by wire management while using 2 monitors. I also like that this dock is expandable as I add additional devices to system.
I used this docking station with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone and it worked great as a mini-PC. The phone immediately recognized the station and offered to switch to Dex mode. That allows the phone to be used as a touchpad and full-size monitor. With this adapter, I could also plug it in for power and add additional devices, such as ethernet and keyboard and mouse. It works great! It does get a little warm, but that is to be expected.
The following information comes from testing with a Lenovo Yoga 9 Win 10 laptop.
Overall, this little device packs a lot of functionality for the cost.
I say little because I was surprised to see it ship in a tiny box in a padded envelope. The device measures about 5″x2″x0.75″ with a ~8in USB-C cable and is extremely light weight. This is great for portability, but the corollary is that it’ll get tossed around by the cables you attach to it. You’ll likely need some double sided tape to keep it held down in place after everything is attached.
There’s no external power required to use this dock, it’ll take power from the USB-C port itself which is much different than the beefier $300 docks we’re trying to replace which come with their own brick. This doesn’t even include a separate USB-C PD cable, let alone a DC source, though I can forgive that for the $60 this costs at the time of writing.
The passive HDMI to HDMI cables I used to connect to 2 external 1080p monitors worked great, and since I’m using Windows I can get an extended 3 monitor setup. You won’t be able to do this with Apple products though; you’re stuck with the device screen and at MOST 1 external monitor.
When testing the device’s USB-A 3.1 port, I got consistent speeds when testing a Sandisk Extreme Pro 1TB SSD whether it was attached through the dock’s 3.1 port or the laptop’s own Thunderbolt 3 port (speed tests attached). The bottleneck in both of these tests is that the device itself requires USB3.2 2×2 lanes, which neither the laptop or the dock support. These speeds were attained even when using the ethernet port and both HDMI ports on the dock.
During the above testing, the unit barely got warm to the touch and not nearly hot. So unless you’re smothering this device, you won’t have any kind of issue.
The ethernet port works very well, attaining the same speeds as a hardwired desktop sitting on the same switch (pic attached).
The gripes I have (besides the weight not keeping it down on the desk) are the following:
1) It’s missing a USB-C port for peripherals. Yes it has a USB-C port on the back (labeled PD), but I was surprised to find that no USB-C peripherals would connect through this port as it’s exclusively used for power delivery. With much of the USB ecosystem moving to USB-C, it’s a huge downside for futureproofing.
2) The USB-C cable attaching the dock to the device is captive, and very short (about 8″). This requires the device to be extremely close to the dock and disallows the use of multiple laptops which only have USB-C ports on opposite sides of the case. If it was longer, great, but I would have rather seen a separate cable, like our other docks, that could be swapped out with a longer cable if necessary.
For those reasons I have to take off 1 star, but otherwise a great little dock.
I was able to get 4k@60hz with no issues on my Macbook 16″ 2020 Intel version and an older samsung 32″ 4k monitor. I didn’t test the gigabit ethernet or the card reader but it’s nice to have those. The usb-a ports worked great to hookup my keyboard, mouse, and webcam. I did not test multiple monitors as if you have one 4k monitor that’s about all it supports at 60hz.
This is a really useful docking hub. It is small and compact. I plugged the charger from my MacBook Air into the hub, then the hub into the MacBook Air. It immediately connected and started charging the computer. I was also able to plug in my iPad and iPhone and they were all able to pull a charge as well. I tried several other devices, an external hard drive, a USB flash drive, and the SD reader. Everything worked fine. I have not had an opportunity to plug it into an HDMI port yet, but I have no doubt it will work just fine. This is going to be a valuable part of my setup for working on audio and video material.
The Mosirui USB C Docking Station appears to be very solid. Packaging was normal, and the product arrive with zero damage. Plugged everything (two monitors, laptop USB C charger, ethernet, and external phone charger) and everything was auto detected by my laptop. Just a little setup for Windows to arrange my monitors and I was off and running (working)!
My only concern (and the reason for 4 out of 5 stars) is that the unit is VERY hot. Again, I’m running two monitors, a laptop and a wireless iPhone charger…but that it the application this unit is designed for. The excessive heat is concerning and only time will tell if it causes any problems.
I tested this Mosirui 12-in-1 hub with a Dell XPS 13 7390, HP Elitebook 840 G7, and an iPad Pro 11 M1. I have a Viewsonic VP3268 4K monitor and a Dell U2410 Full HD monitor. I do have certified DisplayPort and HDMI cables for both monitors and 100W certified USB-C PD cables. I have the original Dell and HP power adapters, as well as 65-100W+ USB-C PD power adapters from Nekteck, Aukey, and Anker.
If you’ve been researching USB-C hubs on Amazon, there are many similar-looking devices out there. Mosirui appears to be one of many brands applied to the same product. You will not find a Mosirui web site, so if the device fails, you are at the mercy of some unknown Chinese company behind an email address. I think you should take that fact into consideration when making a purchase.
That said, they try to do a good job of explaining the capabilities in the product description, better than others in my opinion. There is a great chart in the instruction manual (see picture) that outlines the multiple monitor functionality very well. The key points to understand is that 1) this is a basic USB-C standard hub, not Thunderbolt 3 or 4 and 2) you need to review the specs on your laptop to understand if it supports DisplayPort 1.2 or 1.4 over a USB-C connection.
Both my laptops have 10th generation Intel processors with the built-in UHD graphics processor. They only support DisplayPort 1.2 over USB-C. As you can see from the chart, the best resolution that I can get in Windows Extend Desktop mode with 2 monitors is 1920×1080/60Hz max on each monitor. It gets worse with 3 monitors, 1920×1080 on 1 monitor, and 800×600 on the other 2 (yuck!). Even if you have a laptop that supports DisplayPort 1.4, the best you can get in Extend Desktop mode is 1920×1080 on each monitor.
It’s a huge bummer that you cannot mix resolutions with 2 monitors if you have a DisplayPort 1.2 laptop, i.e. I cannot use my Viewsonic VP3268 monitor in 4K and my Dell U2410 in HD in Extend mode. They both have to be in 1920×1080. That’s a deal-breaker for me. It is not an impossible feat, I have a Thunderbolt 3-certified desktop hub that will do it – but that’s because it is Thunderbolt 3, which is better than USB-C. Know that the whole USB-C/Thunderbolt 3/Thunderbolt 4 standards situation is a mess. In a way, you can think of it like Good/Better/Best.
I liked that this hub is smaller than competing hubs (see picture). With both my DP 1.2 laptops, it worked fine connected to a single 4K monitor, albeit only at 30Hz which matches the chart. With the iPad Pro 11 M1, it worked great in 1920×1080 HD connected to the HDMI ports. If you use a DisplayPort connection with the iPad, you will occasionally see a screen glitch every few minutes, so I would not recommend that method. From a design perspective, I also like the fact that the HDMI ports are on the same side of the hub.
Know your computers’ specs, your monitors’ capabilities, and read the chart carefully before purchasing this hub so that you aren’t disappointed with the results. There are also some idiosyncrasies when mixing DP and HDMI connection, so think about that too. This is a basic USB-C hub that isn’t great for me but it might be for your use case. Be cognizant of Amazon’s return policy if it doesn’t work out as planned.
Everyone who owns a newer model Macbook Pro knows the 4 USB-C ports are not enough if you need to plug in a lot of gadgets. This docking station is great! Was able to plug in 2 monitors, a wired ethernet cable and several external drives.
I have yet to fully test the speed of the ethernet port and the usb drives but so far just browsing the web and accessing the files on the external drive are pretty quick.
This docking station has every port needed and then some! I have a Lenovo Yoga laptop computer and it works perfectly. I have my external keyboard, mouse, two HDMI monitors, and a USB webcam plugged into it. I could still add a router, a headset, a thumbdrive, and even put in an SD card. It has greatly reduced the “cable clutter” on my desk. Very happy with this docking station!
Now that they build computers without nearly enough ports for all the peripherals for the various tasks we perform, these hubs have become almost a prerequisite if you have more than one external drive.
This one has 12 ports for various types of drives, monitor connections, and even a type C power adaptor. It is innocuous in appearance–simple smooth aluminum. The challenge now becomes cord management. (Yes I’m the guy who puts a P-Touch label on all the cords so I never have an issue remembering one from another.)
I’m pleased with this hub for that reason: with 12 inputs you are able to contain more cords together and eliminate some of the tangle.
This is truly plug and play used it first on a work laptop that is heavily restricted and everything worked perfectly. It’s small and compact which works great and it’s nice for the 2 hdmi 4K plugs but I like how it has 1 DP monitor ports as a few monitors I go to have them so full of options over all I did some extensive testing on my Mac and PC and found no flaws. When I need another one I will definitely pick this one up and have already recommended it to a colleague who saw it.
I have a few of these USB-C hubs. I tend to be wary of unknown brands but after some testing, this is one of the few that I actually like.
I mainly use it to connect an external monitor, and move files to/from USB flash drive and micro-SD cards. An important feature is that it allows me to power my computer with a USB-C power supply given that one laptop I have only has one USB-C port. This docking station has enough ports to do what I need and it simply seems to work.
I ran some benchmarks with a flash drive and it’s actually quicker to copy files through through this hub than when I connect the stick directly to my laptop. With a good quality Samsung micro-SD card I get exactly the same speed as the integrated laptop reader.
Connecting an external monitor also works both with a Windows and a Mac laptop. The only gotcha is that I must connect the hub to a USB-C power supply before I plug it into the laptop. Otherwise, I get no video output from it. This is true for all the laptops I’ve tried it with and also both for HDMI and DP. It is a minor annoyance to me but it might be a problem to people who use it on the go.
I also like that the device is large enough that it actually sits flat on my desk and doesn’t get tugged around by the cables I connect to it.
The hub runs a bit hot and in a very quiet environment you can hear it buzz a bit, especially when a monitor is connected, but it’s not so hot or loud to become a problem. All in all I think it’s good value for money.
