Yanko Design announced the HubKey 10-in-1 USB-C Hub, which gives you 10 ports, five switches, and a clickable handle. The hub is currently available on Kickstarter For $69 for the first 300 backers, that’s 51% off its regular price of $140. The hub gives you a 4K@60Hz, 3.5mm HDMI port My voice 1 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet jack and port, SD card and microSD card reader, 100W USB-C PD port, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and two USB 3.0 Type-C ports.
But what makes the HubKey 10-in-1 USB-C Hub unique is the addition of four additional keys and a clickable handle. It gives you one key to quickly lock your PC, turn off the external monitor, take a screenshot, and adjust the RGB lighting on the hub. Apart from that, you can also rotate the knob to change your computer’s volume or press it to quickly mute it.
This makes it easy to control your system directly from the center while ensuring that everything you need can be connected to it. This is a good solution for those who like the portability of a laptop but still want the productivity that a desktop workstation offers, especially with devices as thin and light as Dale XPS or MacBook Air that prioritizes form factor over ports.
The HubKey 10-in-1 USB-C Hub also gives you compatibility with multiple devices. It works with both Mac and Windows. Apart from that, this hub also works with Steam Deck, allowing you to enjoy games on your desktop setup after working for a full day.
The hub also seems well-designed, featuring an aluminum alloy body and a unique shape that makes it easy to operate the hub as needed. It’s also fairly compact, with dimensions of 7 x 7 x 3 cm, so you can easily fit it into your laptop bag if you want to move your workstation.
Of course, you should never forget that crowdfunding is not a direct purchase of the item in question, no matter how promising it may be. Instead, you’re investing in its success, and in return, you get some great discounts and are among the first to get the newly launched product. Although Kickstarter will do its best to protect your interests and make sure you get the device you want, it does not guarantee that you will get the device. Sometimes, purchasing an item after it has been tested by trusted reviewers is wiser. This way, you’ll know you’re getting your money’s worth with your purchase.
