dx1Having separate dongles for network, audio, video etc. is even worse than just having specific cables for each
OtterI think the annoyance comes from not having that many ports to begin with. If I had a whole bunch of ports, it wouldn’t matter as much if I had to snap on a usb-c adapter to all the cables.
What is annoying is having to unplug something i need so I can plug in a flash drive
Why not using small usbc splitter? Like 7 in 1
tetris11Because they heat very easily, suffer throttleneck problems (Ethernet+HDMI+copytoUSB = sudden drop in Ethernet)
By splitter I mean small docking station. I use it daily and never had issues. I plug a mouse, hdmi, and Ethernet cable as well as power pass through.
Can you link to it?

They have many options depending on your needs. If you want it to charge your laptop through the dock / hub, ensure that it has power pass through functionality.
yeah i have a few of them and they all get extremely hot, plus they look ugly as hell. usually a super short cord so right where my mouse would be is a blazing hot ugly box with a bunch of cables and junk sticking out. and if you accidentally jiggle it or move the laptop too much the whole thing blanks out for a second interrupting work flow.
gregorumSome do, others don’t. It helps to check out reviews and ask around before buying.
