Question 1

Can you plug a dock into this that has monitors plugged into said hub? lookin for sort of a make-shift kvm switch, sense i can't find kvms that work.

Accepted Answer

Confirm to work with  Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Pro dock.  Works with Logitech G602 wireless mouse.  I can switch seamlessly between my Thinkpad X1 and HP Z620 workstation.  I planned to buy a TESmart Dual Monitor KVM switch but decided to give this one a try.  A big saving for me.

Question 2

what is a good source for the usb 5 v power supply? any product recommendations? is higher than 2 or 3 amp recommended?

Accepted Answer

It gets its power from each computer. I have no external power plugged into mine.

Question 3

Any recomendations for a usb-a to usb-c cable that is known to work?  only the cable that came with it and an adapter works for me.  ty

Accepted Answer

Hi. Package contained USB3.0 cables. Not Type-C, just Type-A. You need get your own Type-C cable if needs. I had connected my Galaxy S7+ without any issue; and, please don't expect lightling speed connection or data transfer, I guess it's bit faster than normal USB3.0 not 3.1. Hope have answer your question :).

Question 4

Can you use a usb-a -> usb-c cable to connect to a macbook pro with this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I'm switching between 2 2018 MBPs. 1 is for work, the other personal. USB-C to multi-port dongle (USB3/HDMI/USB-C), then from the USB-3/A port on the dongle connecting a USB-3 hub and this switch is connected to the hub for my keyboard and 2 Apple trackpads. (Even tho the trackpads can connect/switch via bluetooth, having them connected via USB makes them switch immediately.)
