False advertising, Extends to 1 display, quality build
Why do some vendors just have to lie? The specifications and images are very clear that this unit will extend to 2 monitors. But it does NOT. It will extend to 1 monitor. It will mirror to 2 monitors, but extend only to 1 monitor. So now I will be returning this unit. Thanks for wasting my time and your time.Note, if you would like to extend to 2 monitors you will need the unit that has the 3 video ports: DP, HDMI and VGA I just bought this one and this one DOES extend to 2 monitors. Beware.... I can't prove this because I don't have a DP port, but I bet that this will not extend to 3 monitors like they falsely advertise for this version, but I only needed 2. So this ends my rant of the dishonest vendors.

Great Ability to use!
The Go has limited ports but the docking station has many abilities to use the many cords for many functions.I tuck this into my small backpack, which carries a Kindle, the Go, 2T external hard drives, mouse, Dial, and more! Compare this to a larger docking station. It does the same thing, is MUCH cheaper and does not even leave a footprint on any surface. Instead, it attaches to the side of the Surface Go and allows you to work without clutter on any work surface. It also holds the charging cable in its charge port so it is most difficult to be yanked out accidentally. I love it! It even has a HDMI expansion port.

Does as it is meant to do
I bought this product for use on my new Surface Go, which does not have a USB port. This is a nice little tool, and I now use it often. One thing I would check before buying is if you have a case, check if it has a completely open spot, for this sticks out around twoish inches and runs doen the side.

Plug doesn't fit & ports don’t work
The USB adapter that came with this product does not actually fit the product (see picture). The ports would not work when I had this connected to a PC via this cable, because it wouldn't fit all the way. I tried gently applying more pressure, but anything beyond that I fear would break it. So this will not function as a hub for a PC.The usb-c cable did connect to a mac and let me use the USB hubs, so if that is the only thing you need it for then go for it. I was not able to test the VGA port to see if it was effective. I will update my review if I am able to test it..Overall, I am definitely disappointed in this product.EDIT: I tested the HDMI and audio aux ports. The HDMI worked once, then when I tried a second time it would not recognize the second display anymore. The audio port did not work at all. I am sending the back - huge waste of money.

Feels cheap, but keeps going like the Energizer Bunny
As in the title, the unit felt and looked like cheap plastic when I first pulled it out of the box, but I have been using it for close to a year now and I have not had a single issue. As a student, it has made using my Surface Go as a daily driver possible since I can plug in USB drives, phones, external CD drives, back-up drives, and printers in with this. I have only used the card readers a few times, but they also work without a hitch. For what I thought would be a cheap purchase turned out to be one of the best purchases I've made. Although a little bulky on the side of the tablet, as long as you unhook it before stashing away the tablet, it works great!

Works fine, doesn't feel very durable but does the job.
The material just feels lightweight and cheap, probably won't hold up well if you drop it or it gets crushed in your bag. I wish it had a USB-C port as well. The HDMI port is very tight, very. But overall, it does it's job. Gives me all of the extra ports I need for my new laptop from work which has fewer ports than the last one. Works just fine for how inexpensive it is.

good solution hub adapter for surface go
Not too many options when it comes to USB-C hubs. So I was extremely happy when this product arrived.The extra USB ports are extremely helpful since my laptop has limited ports for all the accessories I currently have connected. As I have a number of portable hard drives that I regularly access, but am limited to the number of available USB ports, this eliminates the need to disconnect, and connect my drives. The micro USB card reader works as it should. I haven't had a chance to use the SD card reader yet.Overall, this product does exactly as it is advertised to do.

Does its job nice and cheap.would buy again if i cant find one that meets my needs
The only thing i didnt like is it dose not have a slot for a type c . the reason is i personally use a type c dual male cable for my harddrive so i have to keep a usb to type c cable in my bag since it fills the slot for the type c with the device as well . only reason i run into this is because im using it to backup my sd cards after photoshoots to my hard drive. Also it needs something to make it more stable . highly like that i can still charge tablet while using this but wish it was more stable when u dont use the charger to hold it in place
