ABLEWE 5 in 1 Aluminum USB C to HDMI 4K Adapter with 3 USB 3.0 Ports, 87W Power Delivery (PD) for MacBook Pro 2017/2018, XPS and More USB C Devices

I specifically bought this USB-C hub to run my Oculus Rift CV1 headset and sensors. I am running my VR on a Gaming Laptop with three sensors but my Laptop cannot run all the USBs at once. Over a year back I bought a cheap, mains-powered USB hub but experienced the same problems. Since then I had resigned myself to the fact it was probably the Laptop's fault and all but abandoned VR Gaming. This week I became interested again and after some fiddling around on the other powered USB hub, I was able to play for a few hours. Came back to it the day after and I could not get them all to settle and detect again. A quick Google search lead me to posts and videos of others with the problem which lead me to people'a suggestions. This was not one them - I could not find those old versions. So I took a gamble on this one, thinking if it didn't work I could just return it. I wasn't really aware how much power could be gotten from USB-C and I still wasn't sure it wasn't my Laptop. It arrived. I plugged it in to the USB-C port and connected all my sensors. Detected. Waited a while - No disconnects. Hopeful, I tried a game. Working! I have had one drop since yesterday but that was the headset and wasn't connected to the hub but I think that is an issue with my machine rather than this device. I spent a good few hours in VR and it worked without an issue. I'm happy with it. I'm gutted I didn't look more into this when I first started having issues! It powers my sensors and handles the data transfer without issue (which is what I believe the issie with cheaper ones are). Ultimately if you have VR and you're looking for something that will allow you to connect up and run your sensors, this is it. It looks nice, feels good to touch and is nice and light. It doesn't have any power lights on it that stay shining when in use.

Had this a while now and a bit of a mixed bag view in it. It's well built, plenty of inputs and it connects to HDMI easily, but the main issue is power. Looking at other reviews, it may be an issue with the unit I have , and I'm aware it's not a charger as such, but when connected to a power source and then used as a HDMI link between a phone and a TV ( I'm using it for Zwift cycling app), you can see on the phone that it's picking up a charge, or at least it thinks it is, but the phone doesn't hold the charge and rapidly loses power - relative to what it's being used for. I've tested this by plugging the phone directly into the same power source and instead of connecting with the hub, I've cast the images to the TV. The power icon shows and the level stays at 100% or charges up to 100% if not there already. Swith it back through the hub, power drops off. Casting doesn't allow me to do other things, I was hoping by running through this hub I'd have the solution, but sadly it's not the product I hoped for. Maybe the issue is with it being generic and not fully compatible with a phone, any solutions welcomed.

I used this product for Samsung DeX, and it is supported, with it activating as soon as you plug the HDMI into the Hub. I also used this device as a peripheral Hub for my laptop, where it also works as expected! But lets focus on DeX, because that is what i used it for: It connects almost instantly and peripherals such as a mouse and keyboard allow you to use DeX as a computer, with Microsoft word, excel and other apps like onedrive working as expected. I did, however, run into one issue - Charging. The hub has a power delivery port, where if you attach a charger, your phone will appear as "Charging" this is handy as Samsung DeX with a lot of apps open really drains your battery down, and quick. The charging on my Device firstly did not work, for some unknown reason, I tried it with 4 different chargers and none would charge though that specific port, so I returned it, Ablewe got in contact and suspected it was a defect, and promptly replaced it free of charge, so 5/5 for customer service, the second device (Which I now have) does charge my phone, but very slowly, so the battery will still drain while using DeX but its better than it not charging at all. If Ablewe can sort the power delivery out it will be 5/5, but otherwise, I recommend using a wireless charger while using the Hub to charge your battery while using the hub! Hope this review helped someone, feel free to ask any more questions and I'll do my best to answer them!

After purchasing a Macbook Pro the using a USB stick was no longer achievable without the use of an adapter at £25 each from apple. Even after buying an adapter it only gave you the use of one USB Stick. This product works fantastic, easy to plug in, feels really sturdy and a nice metal finish round it off really nicely. USB sticks go in without any issues and I have no issues with them being read. It is very thin therefore doesnt take up too much space in my laptop bag. I don't go anywhere without it now, a true game changer and a really reasonable price.

I’ve been using this hub for a year now and it really comes in handy. I’ve used it for so many things at this point. It works with iPads, MacBooks, PCs, and even with my Nintendo Switch. Overtime my excessive use while travelling has probably damaged the internals of the wiring, but with a little adjustment it works again. I’m happy with it and have never really had a problem with it. It could be faster and sturdier, but for the price, this hub is excellent.

Worked great for a while, but stopped working after normal use

This device is great. It produces a high quality smooth picture. It didn't produce any picture with my Samsung Galaxy A71 but keyboard and mouse control still worked through the device. I tried it on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and it worked great. For Samsung users here are the devices capable of USB C/HDMI output.

I like the product, it feels well made... however I had a few issues. - it doesn’t like all three USB ports being used. I plugged in a mouse, a usb stick and an iPhone cable (only for charging). This caused the mouse to stop working and the iPhone to stop charging. Taking one out fixed the problem. - it gets VERY hot. - sometimes the mouse will stop registering. I needed to keep unplugging the usb receiver and usb stick until it registered the mouse again. Very frustrating. UPDATE: Seller contacted me and offered a replacement as they believed my issue was a fault. Replacement works as it should, so very happy with that.
