Been a while since I posted here. I just got a new (refurb, anyway) MBP and I had a couple of questions regarding accessories.

First, I want to be able to use multiple displays. I already bought the OWC TB3 Dock, and I have an Insignia USB-C to USB/HDMI/Charge. Strangely, the USB-C adapter works attached to the TB3 Dock, but not directly to the laptop. That struck me as odd.

Anyway, I can use the Dock and the USB-C dongle to use my two Asus displays, but I tried to attach a third (which I'm told should work) but it did not. I did not have another USB-C adapter, but I did have a TB3 to TB2 adapter and I tried using that to connect a display but it did not work. Any thoughts?

My other question was just what other accessories other MBP owners have found to be must-haves? I have the aforementioned USB-C multi dongle, a TB3 to TB2 and a nice but surprisingly cheap clamshell case.

Thanks in advance!
