"The modern desk is a patchwork of small compromises. Your laptop has two USB-C ports, but you need displays, a wired network, external storage, and constant charging. That leaves you juggling dongles and adapters, with media controls and privacy shortcuts buried in software menus or keyboard combinations you can never quite remember. The setup works, but it never feels tidy or intentional, just workarounds gradually spreading across your workspace."
"HubKey Gen2 tries to pull those pieces together in a single compact cube that sits within arm's reach. It's both an 11-in-1 USB-C hub and a small hardware control surface, with four shortcut keys and a central knob on top. The idea is to handle displays, power, storage, network, and a handful of everyday actions from one place, turning a desk full of little fixes into something more coherent."
"Between the USB-A 3.1 and USB-C 3.1 ports at up to 10 Gbps, SD and TF card slots, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, 3.5 mm audio jack, and a dedicated 100 W USB-C PD port, HubKey Pro 2 can replace a whole handful of adapters. One cable from the hub to your laptop or handheld PC brings everything else online, from wired internet to external drives and dual displays, cutting down on the usual cable mess."
HubKey Pro 2 combines an 11-in-1 USB-C hub and a hardware control surface in a compact cube within arm's reach. It provides two HDMI ports capable of driving 4K displays at 60Hz, USB-A 3.1 and USB-C 3.1 ports at up to 10 Gbps, SD and TF card slots, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a dedicated 100 W USB-C PD port. The top panel includes four shortcut keys and a central knob mapped to volume, mute, screen lock, display off, screenshot, and lighting control. One cable connection brings displays, power, network, and storage online, reducing the need for multiple adapters and cutting cable clutter.
