Thanks to Community Member pennysave for posting this deal.

Features:
  • Ports:
    • 2x Thunderbolt 4 (15w max)
    • 1x Thunderbolt 4 (PD 3.0 at 96w max, upstream only)
    • 1x HDMI 2.1
    • 3xUSB A 3.1
    • 1x RJ45
    • 1x SD card slot
    • 1x 3.5mm audio jack
  • Includes Thunderbolt 4 cable
  • Supports:
    • Thunderbolt and USB4 function
    • Dual 4K@60Hz displays via two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports
      • Note: Verify your laptop's Thunderbolt ports support dual 4K@60Hz output. Ensure your graphics card installed the latest drivers. Confirm your monitors support 4K@60Hz display. Use high-quality Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 cables for connection (not included). Avoid connect HDMI port firstly to prevent resolution downgrade due to bandwidth limitations.
    • Dynamic PD profile up to 96W to charge devices.
      • Note: Check the laptop manufacturer's power supply specifications before use. Ports may not function properly if laptop power requirements exceed 96W, as the docking station will activate overload protection feature and cause disconnection.
    • HDMI 2.1 output supports up to 8K30Hz
    • Ethernet RJ45 port supports up to 2.5Gbps (approximately 300 Megabytes per sec).
      • Note: Thunderbolt bandwidth is shared across devices, so display resolution and LAN speed may decrease with multiple high-bandwidth connections. When fully loaded, the docking station may reach 122°F/50°C, which is normal for such products.
  • Travel-friendly design slips easily into a laptop bag or carry-on.
  • Compatible with Laptops running Windows 10 OS or later which have a Thunderbolt 4 port, and non-M1/M2 chip MacBooks running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later. Backwards compatible for Thunderbolt 3 laptops work with limited functionality (e.g. not support dual display). Not compatible with Linux or Chrome OS laptops, and M1/M2 chip MacBooks running maxOS 10.16 or earlier.

I just bought this on Amazon for $70 a few days ago. It was already a good deal then but this is crazy. For anyone looking, I got this for my M4 Macbook Pro and it's working flawlessly with multiple monitors and peripherals connected. It's also literally just a more expensive Kensington thunderbolt dock in a different color if you're wondering who actually made it.

The product page states the ethernet port on this supports 2.5Gbps. The cheapest USB C 2.5Gbps adapters are around $16 (Sabrent that's been posted here alot), so getting all the rest of the ports, plus PD for the other $16 is amazing. In for 2.

I don't know why they have to put the upstream USB in the front -- bad aesthetics. They could of had 1 USB-C, 1 USB-A, audio out, and card reader in front; and everything else in the back hidden.
Still super slick for a TB hub. Can't find a dock that can support 2x 4K@60 at this price, let alone a TypeC powered one where you have to spend another $20-40 for the 90+W USB-C power block.

It does if your 2nd and 3rd monitor can use usb c input
unfortunately they do not. I need either HDMI or DP. Good tip about USB c input.
A USB C to HDMI Adapter dongle for 4K@60Hz is $5 at Amazon.

Can this be used with an ROG Ally?
OG ROG Ally?

Should be fine, but Ally doesn't have thunderbolt or usb4 ports. Best you can do is have a hub that charges/powers the Ally.

Ally X has USB4, so that you'd be able to use the thunderbolt/usb4 features... ie: eGPUs.

Not clear if this comes with a power supply.
Do docks usually need separate power supplies?
To be safe and guarantee performance... Yes.

Even even regular usb hubs benefit from being powered.

Perfect for my use case. Going to use this to pass through from laptops to LG thunderbolt 3 monitors. Unfortunately the LG thunderbolt monitors have pleb 5gbps USB 3 so I'd rather run a hub or dock. In for four for work and home, and spares. Was previously looking at TB5 hubs or docks but the hubs start at ~180 and docks at 300 so to get 4 for the price of one is impressive. Just hope they're solid.

There are adapters. If those are thunderbolt outputs on the dock, they are definitely DP capable.

I got it for like 130 a year ago. Rock solid for me. Use it with both a MacBook Pro and a recent windows laptop, and both work with dual 4k@60. I use a TB4 to HDMI2.1 adapter for the second monitor.
