Q: The USB ports works but there's no video output after connecting the product.
A: To confirm compatibility, please check whether the port you plugged into supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. If not, there is no video signal output from the port of your computer that you plug USB C hubs/docking stations into. So all hubs couldn't help. Often, many confuse USB C ports as Thunderbolt 3 ports since they are the same shape and size. You can check this by looking up your computer's specification online, or by contacting you computer manufacturer's customer support. It also is incompatible with the USB-A to USB-C adapter.
Q: My computer supports Thunderbolt 3, and the port I'm plugged into supports Thunderbolt 3, but there is still no video output.
A: 1. In order to confirm whether the product is working, first test your computer port by plugging in a USB device, such as a mouse or keyboard.

Q: My mouse and keyboard appear to be stuck.
A: This is a common problem of the USB 3.0 ports of all the hubs in the market. According to the Intel White paper, the radio frequency interference to wireless devices are operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band as a result of certain USB 3.0* devices and cables.
Here is the link for reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/universal-serial-bus/usb3-frequency-interference-paper.html
There are four ways to help you reduce the USB 3.0 radio frequency interference to the wireless connection of some laptops:
Option 1: Use Bluetooth or wired mouse/keyboard.
Option 2: Connect the laptop to a 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Option 3: Use high-quality shielded USB 3.0 devices/cables/connectors.
Option 4:Connect devices(e.g.wired mouse and keyboard) to USB 2.0
ports on the HUB.We kindly suggest do not use USB flash drives next to
the mouse receiver.
