Keychron, the Hong Kong-based peripheral brand best known for making keyboards and mice, has launched its very first docking station. The new device is called the Keychron Thunderbolt 5 Dock (14-in-1), and as the name suggests, it comes with 14 ports and has a shiny aluminium body.
The dock is priced at $349.99 in the US.
Keychron Thunderbolt 5 Dock (14-in-1) Specifications
Starting with the visuals, the dock has a CNC-machined aluminum alloy chassis that gives it a sturdy and premium feel. The dock has a fanless cooling system that delivers passive heat dissipation, thanks to the through-vent grille design and an internal aluminium heat spreader.
The design is simple, minimalist, and functional, as you can use the dock either standing up (vertically) or lying flat (horizontally).
The talk for any docking station is undoubtedly about connectivity. The front of the dock includes a power button, indicator lights, one USB-C port with 10Gbps speed, and two USB-A ports also running at 10Gbps. It also has a pair of card readers that support both SD and microSD cards under the UHS-II, 4.0 standard, which delivers up to 312 MB/s speed.
The back of the dock carries most of the connections. This includes one upstream Thunderbolt 5 port, which can deliver up to 140W of power to a connected laptop, along with three separate downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports for connecting additional devices.
There are also two more USB-A ports running at 10Gbps, two HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting monitors or TVs, and one 2.5GbE Ethernet port for wired internet connections faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. Rounding out the features are two Kensington security lock slots, which allow the dock to be physically locked down to a desk or surface.
The Keychron Thunderbolt 5 Dock (14-in-1) is now available for purchase directly from Keychron’s official website.
