USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness - Dennis Schubert - eviltoast
A short story of me trying out different USB-C hubs, taking them apart, and slowly descending into madness.

I was looking for a new USB-c hub and came across this article. It’s an interesting write-up of what is on the inside of some popular options

    We use UGREEN ones at work, and they seem to do the job well so far. 100W PD, HDMI and ethernet working well.

      +1 for ugreen hubs. The one I bought last 2018 still works though it has a quirk when I plug it on my XPS 13, the USB mouse and mech keyboard stops responding periodically until I replug it. This happens after every first plug.

      I have a small Ugreen I bought a few years ago and while I’m not using it anymore it did its job well while I needed it and afaik it still works well. Initially I got it for the detachable usb-c cable.

      And I think it’s authentically Chinese, doesn’t pretend to be a German company or anything like that.

      +1 for UGREEN. My workplace uses them for everything, I’ve used many of their products over the years and they work great.

        Everyone can have duds, it’s how they handle it. I’ve found their support to be good.
