Avoid the Hypershop 5-1 USB-C hub

The best adapter/hub in my opinion is the Satechi 3-1 USB-C hub, and it recently got updated with USB-C charging as a pass through. There are two versions, one with three USB 3.0 ports, and one with 2, with the 3rd being replaced by the charger.

 

Yes Satechi is a good product, but it miss the network port that is included in the new Minix Neo-C.
There is also the charging port.
I'm waiting the avilability of the Minix that was presented the last september.

 

i bought one, it feels VERY flimsy. Missing HDMI, still not perfect but probably the best one that is actually available to ship at the moment.

 

I just received the updated Satechi hub with the pass through charging and am not a fan. It feels really unstable plugged into the rMB, and getting SD cards and USB cables in and out makes it feel even less secure.

I'm going to go back to using the basic Apple USB-C to USB adapter until something better comes along.

 

Yeah I got one too. It is a POS. Super flimsy, USB/SD cards don't go all the way in. I feel like it needs a magnet or something so that it sits flush with the body of MB.

 

It's not a lemon. It's just that most of these cheap "USB-C" hubs just took existing USB 3.0 hubs and attached USB-C connectors to them. They can't both pass through a charge and provide greater than USB 2.0 speeds since they don't conform to the Power Delivery 2.0 standards that is part of the port on the MacBook.

Unfortunately, the best options tend to be the most expensive. The Apple Docks, or the new OWC docks look like the best bets if you need pass-through charging.

 

So far, isn't Microsofts Display Dock actually a pretty solid option?

Three USB ports, HDMI etc.? Pretty awesome combo so far IMO

 

USB 2.0 and power output to charge a phone, not a computer make it less than ideal.
