I don’t know if this is related, but none of the third party docks I could find offered full resolution, full refresh rate, multi-monitor output, as the official dock can offer.

Every dock I looked at with a decent number of reviews either had 1 star reviews mentioning monitor connection problems and/or docks dying shortly after purchase, too, but it’s hard to know if that’s relevant or just the baseline noise of electronics failure rates/user error.

I just ended up eating the cost (and long shipping times) to get the official one.
