Excluding the USB 4.0 uplink that can charge a connected laptop with up 100W, this dock offers nine ports, six of which are USB, two are HDMI video, and the final port is a 2.5GbE LAN port.
Plenty of unbranded USB docks are sold for much less than this, but the majority of those are for connecting USB 3.2 Gen 2 (or 1), not USB 4.0.
But this dock converts a single USB 4 or Thunderbolt uplink into mostly USB 3.2.
My verdict on this USB 4.0 hub is a slightly mixed one for a host of reasons This dock's low price and basic construction don't make strong competition for Thunderbolt 5 products in the same market.
A mouse and keyboard would work fine on USB 2.0, but those are the only types of USB ports not on offer.
