Customer Reviews

I have been using the device for a few weeks now and it's working well. I have a laptop and two external monitors. I use only the two external monitors, one plugged into the laptop's external monitor receptacle and one into the DC-125. I'm running Win7 as my operating system and set-up was a piece of cake. Also, the USB ports are working better than any USB hub I've gotten in the past. I have a few devices (headset, etc.) that I couldn't get running properly through other hubs, but they work fine with this device. Great solution if you want the extra screen.

I use this to connect several USB devices and hubs to my laptop with a single USB cable, so that I can quickly connect/disconnect my laptop. I also use the audio ports which are connected to my desktop speakers. I had to download some drivers to get everything working properly, and that was a little confusing, as I was directed to an external site to get the video drivers (which I don't use), but after 20 minutes or so, I was up and running, and everything works as expected.
