Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?

    To be honest, I haven’t really seen any usb-c only hubs. All the Steam deck focused ones are covered up with USB-A ports and at least one HDMI.

    Looking on amazon, I see this one and this one. Is that the kind of thing you’re looking for? Edit: ok, looking at those further they don’t actually support video over usb-C. Here’s one with 4 usb-c ports and video output.

    Tragus makes one. It’s okay. Out of 30 users I hear that they sometimes need to reseat it when it stops working. Might be related to the users connecting it to a docking station and reconnecting a laptop to it once or twice a day.

      I’ve had a scootch through their website, but it seems that all their products have hdmi/USB-A on them somewhere, I just want USB-C and pass through power. Was there a specific one of their devices that does that? I may well have missed it, they seem to make a whole lot of stuff!
