sorted byI recommend StarTech - 107B-USB-HDMI for Mac and Windows. You will need to download their driver as well. It works with M1.

Impressed with the dock, seems very well built and an excellent pairing with our Macbook Air M2
Certainly cant knock it at the price, the extra USB C lead thrown in for free is a load of junk and needs to go in the bin, dont know why they bothered. But the unit is brilliant value
Sits nicely under the monitor
It's a weighty little thing.
...I can confirm that if you have USB keyboards and use the HDMI all of that works - but if you use thunderbolt to get a second monitor (as I do) then that monitor won't work with steamdeck.
I just checked as I have this dock - I can confirm that if you have USB keyboards and use the HDMI all of that works - but if you use thunderbolt to get a second monitor (as I do) then that monitor won't work with SteamDeck. (edited)
Kensington said each thing needed to be connected in a certain order every time to work, but that never helped.
Seems to be a few similar experiences mentioned online.
Edit1: by coincidence my employer rolled out the Win10 22H2 update yesterday and now the issues seem to have gone. Leaving my post below though.

I also had issues but not qute that bad. E.g. my keyboard had maddening intermittment lag only on work laptop (Thinkpad, windows). Plugging it in the front USB port fixed that somehow. I still have other issues e.g. webcam (C920) microphone but can't be bothered sending it back.
It works fine with my personal laptop.
Shame as I think it would be amazing if it worked as I hoped. I think it looks good too. (edited)
I have an ultrawide connected via HDMI and a regular 1440p 16:9 monitor connected via a thunderbolt to HDMI cable. Works absolutely flawlessly in that configuration for me.
It was very sensitive to interference, it had to be plugged directly into a wall socket - using an extension caused weird problems e.g. ethernet not working.
Also, I was using with 2 screens and quite often after the screens went to sleep, the dock stopped detecting one until the dock power cable was removed and reinserted.
I persevered for 3 weeks, before returning it for a refund.
Ordered a 2nd hand Lenovo dock for a similar price and it has been working flawlessly
only problem is it retails for over £350+
If you want to make further changes there, be careful unless it's a freshly installed system, as file paths and drive letters may be set-up, but if you've never used that drive, you should be fine. I use this management console to change drives and partitions (subdivisions of drives) to start with relevant letters. So, user files and folders will end up on U drive, videos on V drive, etc.
Ignore me - Had the laptop plugged into the downstream port. (edited)
E.g. webcam is sometimes not detected. Sometimes it is detected but microphone doesn't work.
Might only be drivers but unfortunately my work thinkpad is locked down and they are slow to roll out updates
I'm always afraid with this kind of brands that if the charger will die it will be a problem to find a spare one.
With Dell, Lenovo, Hp you just go ebay and buy one for £20 and problem solved. What about kensington?
I have a MacBook Air plugged into usbc monitor which charges it and acts as usb hub. Also a separate Mac mini which already has a lot of ports. Will this help me in any way?
