Ultra book's and other super slim laptop computers are reliant on sleek good looks but often lack enough ports for connectivity As a result you are constantly plugging and unplugging peripherals to connect to the devices you need The Kensington USB 3 0 Dual docking station turns one USB port into six so that with one hot swappable USB connection you will have access to all of your peripherals up to eight peripherals plus two 1080HD video monitors Review: I was super hesitant about purchasing the product because I had tried ... - Reason for purchase: I have an HP Envy laptop that only has one video out (HDMI) but I have two monitors and I was in the process of replacing my desktop computer with the ENVY and I wanted the laptop to be able to make use of both of my monitors. First impression: I was super hesitant about purchasing the product because I had tried an IOGear (or something like that) USB display module before that, too, used DisplayLink. I had soooo many problems with it...well actually just like one or two but they were happening frequently and in my mind I came to associate the problems with DisplayLink, not the module. So when I saw that this docking station used DisplayLink as well I was nervous but the reviews were so positive that I figured the previous problems might have been with the module itself. My first impression: nice looking piece, looks kinda like a router, solid packaging though it was difficult to remove initially. Setup: I literally just plugged my monitors into the back of the docking station as well as two ext. hdds and the speakers. I then plugged the docking station into a surge protector and connected it to my laptop via the provided usb. For those of you who are confused as I was at first, all of the video goes through the usb cable, so you can have two external displays without plugging anything into your laptop's video output. My laptop recognized the docking station and a window popped up where I could install the drivers that I wanted (one for audio, one for video, etc). The set-up was seamless and it blew me away. As soon as the drivers were installed the monitors came to life, I don't even think it required a restart (though it may have but I don't think it did). Overall Experience: It's been pretty awesome, I've noticed little to no lag at all when dragging stuff between monitors, no delay or sync issues with audio, the hdds are fast as ever, I'm blown away really. I've only really noticed two semi-issues--playing two separate videos on the two monitors creates problems, even when they're not playing in full screen. Also (and this may not be the module, I'm not sure) but when I first hooked everything up, I decided to leave my wireless mouse and keyboard connected directly to the laptop but after a while I noticed a TON of lag with the mouse...the keyboard was fine. I changed the batteries and still, TONS of lag...to the point where it was unusuable. But when I moved the receivers to the docking station, the problem was gone. Not sure what happened there, I had never had an issue with the mouse before so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the docking station or not. OVERALL: awesome purchase that I highly, highly, highly recommend. Review: This is an awesome USB 3.0 type A docking station - I originally purchased a USB-C dock, thinking I could attach it to my new HP Windows 11 laptop USB-C port. I have two external monitors, one HDMI and the other Display Port (or VGA), as well as 4 or 5 USB devices. Well, I connected everything to that USB-C doc, and the USB devices worked - but not the monitors. After some research, I discovered my HP 15-ef2033dx laptop (purchased at a great Black Friday price), does not support external monitors through the USB-C. Duh - I should have paid more attention. So, I found this Kensington Dock on desertcart, read the description carefully and watched the videos produced by Kensington. Convinced myself that this bad boy is for me. Got it yesterday, hooked everything up, and voila - my old external monitors work like a champ. And, because the Kensington dock has its own power supply, I can leave my laptop lid closed - I have no need for 3 displays - and the 2 external monitors work great in this mode. When I'm done working, I just turn off the monitors, leave the laptop in sleep mode, and then wake it up by simply activating with the mouse or keyboard. The provided DVI to VGA adapter works perfectly, with a VGA connection to my old Dell monitor (at least 8 years old). And - the dock also has an audio output port, so I can connect my external speakers also completely to the Dock - the audio jack as well as USB for the power. (The dock also has an audio input port if you want to connect a microphone.) I could not be happier. If you have a laptop with a USB-C which doesn't support external monitors, or a laptop with USB3.0 type A only, this is for you. ## Features - Universal USB Type "A" Dock works with laptops that have a USB-A port; also works with Surface Pro 9/8/7/6/5/4 Surface Laptop 5/4/3/2/1, Surface Books and MacBooks with a USB-C to USB-A adapter (includes dual display for all MacBooks (M1, M1 Pro, M2, M2 Pro, M2 Max and earlier) - The USB-A cable (included) from your laptop to the docking station provides all the connectivity – so your displays and peripherals can stay at home or at the office – just attach the one USB-A cable and you're off and running - 2 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Ports (backwards compatible to USB 2.0) that support high-speed data transfer up to 5Gbps and phone charging; 4 USB 2.0 Ports for peripherals like a keyboard and mouse, printers, and other accessories; Gigabit (10/100/1000) ethernet; external headphone and microphone jacks with audio 2.0 for enhanced sound quality - Dual Display resolution via DisplayLink of up to 2048x1152@60Hz including 1080P video via HDMI and DVI; single display resolution of up to 2560x1600 @60Hz (including QHD 2560x1440) via HDMI; add a third monitor using a USB-A to DVI DisplayLink adapter (Kensington part K33974AM or similar) - DVI-to-VGA and DVI-to-HDMI adapters included for greater monitor compatibility; power supply included to power the dock and all the ports (does not supply power to a laptop) - Watch the video to the left for more information setup and usage; for MacBooks download the latest Display Link drivers from the Display link website - 2 year coverage and lifetime Kensington technical support included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009F7E730 | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,662 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #610 in Laptop Docking Stations | | Brand | Kensington | | Built-In Media | Docking station, power cord, two display adapters | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | MacBooks, Surface Book 1/2/3, Surface Laptop 1/2/3, Surface Pro 4/5/6/7/8, Windows laptops | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,324 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00085896339724 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10"L x 7"W x 3"H | | Item Type Name | Kensington USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for Windows, Mac OS, Surface Pro & Surface Laptop (K33972US) | | Item Weight | 0.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Kensington | | Mfr Part Number | K33972US | | Model Number | SD3500V | | Number of Ports | 10 | | Product Dimensions | 10"L x 7"W x 3"H | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | Total USB Ports | 6 | | Total Usb Ports | 6 | | UPC | 085896339724 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year | | Wattage | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kensington - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** MacBooks, Surface Book 1/2/3, Surface Laptop 1/2/3, Surface Pro 4/5/6/7/8, Windows laptops - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Item Weight:** 0.8 Pounds - **Number of Ports:** 10 - **Product Dimensions:** 10"L x 7"W x 3"H - **Total HDMI Ports:** 1 - **Total USB Ports:** 6 - **Wattage:** 1 ## Images ![USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for MacBooks, Windows and Surface (K33972US) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IlATrSjpL.jpg) ![USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for MacBooks, Windows and Surface (K33972US) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xREfqTMoL.jpg) ![USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for MacBooks, Windows and Surface (K33972US) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915qMxdlUjL.jpg) ![USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for MacBooks, Windows and Surface (K33972US) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W9I6xhcYL.jpg) ![USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for MacBooks, Windows and Surface (K33972US) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wqozqAmcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you need a power cord connection, too? Or just the USB?** A: Jen, I don't need a power cord or a USB. The Docking Station worked once. The next time that I had an opportunity to use the Docking Station it did not work. I contacted Kensington Support. Kensington tried to troubleshoot the problem over a 2 week period. After about a week of troubleshooting, I decided to I wanted to exchange the docking station because the one that I had would not work after a week of trouble shooting, however, when I attempted to exchange the docking station, I received an auto reply from Amazon advising me that the defected unit was beyond the allowable return time. Kensington did not return my telephone as they had stated. They finally contacted me once again via email stating that since they have not heard from me they marked the incident as "resolved". They finally contacted me on 12/9, 12/10, 12/17/12/24 & 12/31. The initial problem that I had experienced was that the picture was larger than the display, then I didn't have a display on either monitor. The USB outlets worked just fine, the speaker connection worked fine did not have any video. After a month of on and off troubleshooting, Kensington requested that I return the defected unit to them at my expense. I just received the replacement unit and have not had the opportunity to set up the docking station. Needless to say, I was disappointed with the lack of Customer Support from Amazon and the fact that I had to ship the defective unit back to Kensington at my expense. **Q: can I keep my laptop closed?** A: Hello, Yes you can close the lid if you are running 2 monitors. You would have to change the settings within "Screen Resolution" after it detects both. Also, in "Power Settings" you can configure the laptop to stay on when the Lid is closed. Best Regards, ITRemarketing, Inc. **Q: Does Doccking station include (i.e., come with) both DVI -> VGA and DVI -> HDMI adapters????** A: No **Q: Can I connect 2 DVI-D monitors? I only see one video port on the picture. Would I need additional cables?** A: There's only one port. I doubt that you can connect 2 even with additional cables ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was super hesitant about purchasing the product because I had tried ... *by A***R on March 1, 2016* Reason for purchase: I have an HP Envy laptop that only has one video out (HDMI) but I have two monitors and I was in the process of replacing my desktop computer with the ENVY and I wanted the laptop to be able to make use of both of my monitors.

I had considered a standalone USB hub, but instead ordered this as I had some extra LCD panels hanging around. After installing the DisplayLink drivers from the supplied CD, I grabbed a couple of monitors and HDMI cables and connected them to the Sd3500v, one using the HDMI connection, another with the supplied DVI to HDMI connector. I then attached a Yamaha MOX8 music production workstation, a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 audio interface, and a Yamaha dtx700k drum module to three of the USB 2.0 ports on the back. Next I plugged in the supplied USB cable and attached it to one of the mac's 2 USB 3.0 ports. I was about to attach it to a power source, but like many before me I found I had no space left on the power bar. So off to a big box store to grab one... After powering up, both of the monitors came to life. I was also able to create an aggregate device in the mac's audio MIDI setup tool, and add the Yamaha MOX8 and the Focusrite 18i6 devices and boom i've got 20+ musical devices talking to my music production software through this humble little docking station. Couldn't have been easier, and I couldn't have been happier. Pros. HDMI and DVI connected monitors worked flawlessly USB 2.0 connections worked fine USB 3.0 stick plugged into a front USB 3.0 port worked Plugged a PC style headset/microphone (pink+green 3.5mm connectors) and verified that the audio connection in/out worked Cons: The Kensington sd3500v like just about everyone these days places the transformer on the plug so that you need waste 2 or three power bar spaces to plug it in. Same with my Macbook and music devices. My thinkpad does this right by having a normal plug and cord into the transformer. Didn't test the wired ethernet connection. just for fun I plugged a windows 8 laptop into it. Everything hooked up to the docking station worked fine. Couldn't create an aggregate ASIO device on windows, but after all it is windows. Would I buy this again?
