Docking station allows you to easily connect two laptops to multiple monitors as well as other usb peripherals. Great for a dual monitor setup. Works great for display and keyboard/mouse.

A headset jack, and gigabit ethernet are also included. It has two usb ports (the two proprietary hosting cables are included). It has a rj45 port for ethernet.



Cons

Startech was too lazy to build an active display port interface. There seems to be mouse and keyboard latency. Mouse tracking is super unstable.

Lasted 2 years before crapping out. This seems antiquated. No power. This is unacceptable.
