There will be a delay in connecting the mouse and keyboard.
2.4Ghz and USB3.0 interfere with each other, which can cause mouse and keyboard delays. The latency of Bluetooth devices and Logitech devices will be more pronounced. Because Bluetooth devices are also limited by Bluetooth signals, the general effective distance is 50CM. It is recommended to use USB2.0 to connect the keyboard and mouse. Or switch to a 5G network.

The USB ports doesn’t work after connecting video output ports.
Caused by interference problems. Please restart the device and connect the hub again.

USB C Port on the hub

Note:
The USB C port on the hub only for charging and it is no data transfer function.
Please make sure your connection method is correct.

1. The charging power is not up to expectations or it cannot charge your computer.

Please note:
Actual power = Rated power of the charger – The power consumption of each port
That is to say, the power of your charger is 90W, and the final actual power may be 75W. The more devices connected, the lower the actual power obtained. This is determined by the charger and external equipment. If the charger power is too low, it will be unable to charge the device. Please connect a higher power charger.

About Heating Up

The temperature of Hub is around 60 degrees Celsius when it is working. If you use HDMI or VGA, the temperature is higher, which is normal. As long as the USB disk or memory card is inserted and the file transfer is not started in time, the built-in HUB chip will work at full load by default. At this time, the chip temperature rises, but the surface temperature of this product is within the corresponding standard even if it is used at full load, so you can use it with confidence.

About Using Other Converters

We do not recommend using any converter to connect the computer to the hub, or an external monitor to the hub. Because it is hard to confirm whether the converter is compatible, and it may affect the function of the hub.
