ProtoArc Hub Mouse Video Review February 2023

 

 

 

Video summary

This page embeds several videos on the HubMouse, and the main one is a two-week hands-on review built around a single problem: thin laptops and tablets do not have the ports people need. The reviewer lays out a MacBook Pro, a Surface Book and an iPad Pro and counts what each is missing - HDMI, USB-A, or both.

The HubMouse answer is a receiver that doubles as a USB-C hub. The dongle carries HDMI at 4K 30Hz, a USB-A port and USB-C power delivery rated at 60W, inside a metal frame. He connects an external monitor, an SSD and a charger through it on all three devices, checks that the laptop and tablet charge while driving the display, and measures sequential read speed at roughly 900MB/s on a drive that supports it - faster than the 5Gbps figure printed on the box.

The mouse half covers a compact body that works on any flat surface, three-device switching over 2.4G and two Bluetooth channels, DPI steps of 1000, 1600 and 2400, silent clicks, a clicky scroll wheel, and a 300mAh battery rated for about two months of use.
