I've been on the hunt for the right USB-C hub...
---
I have a flagship Omen 15 gaming laptop. Great guts, horrible case.
Has (1) RJ45, (1) SS-USB-2 [The Blue One], (2) USB-2 [The Black One], and (1) USB-C.
The USB-C doesnt produce enough power to connect either of my USB-Only AOC Monitors... but all the other USB ports can power them.
So, I needed more USB ports, and I bought several different USB hubs; one that is a 4-port-USB-2 hub as well as a USB-C multi-port hub (SD,MMC,USB,HDMI) however, it doesnt have a USB-C port on it. It has a USB-C POWER poer on it (meaning to feed topower to the hub, plug the USB-C female port into a male USB cable to a USB-2 connector and then plug THAT into 5v power and THEN you can power a USB monitor off of this hub.
Total wastes of money, as I have several USB-C External SSD drives I want to use, but this (1) USB-C port on this machine is a joke.
