I use this multiport dock with my iPad Pro. It has all the functionality i need when traveling, displaying films on a TV, Storing documents on a memory stick, reading the files from my camera's SD card. The adapter doesn't get hot like some other branded ones when charging my iPad though it, and feels solid and well built. Highly recommended.
I'd really like this to have the HDMI slot on the back; don't need that thick chunky cable looping around. I'm not using it right now, but I think the Ethernet port would be better on the back too. agian, for cable routeing considerations. Thought I had problems with my phone, but it turns out the phone needs to be set to PTP to work through this device. Main criticism is the very short USB C lead. I'm having to use a USB extension lead - the red plug in my photo.
When using my Logitech wireless mouse and wireless wacom, the USB signal is constantly interrupted by this dock. I can not move/drag-and-drop icons as the mouse keep dropping them because the signal keeps getting cut off by this dock.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our DKT30CSDHPD3. We are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulty with DKT30CSDHPD3 as this is not expected behavior for our docking station. Our Technical Advisors will be reaching out to you shortly.
Very good product, works well with Apple laptops. No driver needed. Also works fine with ipads, but if you want to use the pass through power the Apple 20W power adapter does not make it, you need 30W or even 61W
hi, i am really pleased with the product. on the back of the device it says i have the model DKT30CSDHPD3 (thus the updated one), however when i disconnect the usb C power cable of macbook pro 16 from the usb c port of the startech device, while the startech being connect on my mac, it disconnects for a second or so all the devices connected to it (the mouse stops for a seconds, the usb A thumb drive dissappears from the desktop and reappears in 2,3 seconds, the usb pki card starts again the login process, etc). As i understood this update version would solve this issue. Am i doing something wrong? i wish i didn't have this issue, the product is otherwise so so great.
When we connect the screen monitor to HDMI port the Macbook's performance is low suddenly, and the Wi-Fi has a lot of issues.
