USB-C and Thunderbolt docks, verified port by port

A dock is defined here by having both an Ethernet port and at least one dedicated video output. 228 are listed: 220 with notebook evidence, plus official-source pairings for 58 Steam Deck, 35 ROG Ally and 22 Legion Go entries. PS5 and Xbox Series never appear here because their ports do not provide DisplayPort Alt Mode.

macOS display limits trip up more docks than any other single issue. The Anker 575 (A8392) only extends a single external display on macOS — plug in a second monitor and it mirrors instead, a Single-Stream Transport ceiling on the chip, not a cable or setting problem. The Anker 563 (A8395) does better once its DisplayLink driver is installed, extending across up to 3 monitors on Apple Silicon M1 Macs.

On Thunderbolt 5 docks, how many displays you get depends entirely on which Mac chip is on the other end. The Anker Prime Thunderbolt 5 Dock (A83B5) gives base M1/M2/M3 chips a single display, while Pro/Max chips and every M4 get two — up to dual 6K60 on M4 Pro/Max. CalDigit's TS5 Plus follows the same chip-gated pattern, and caps its HDMI port at 4K60 on every Apple Silicon Mac regardless of chip tier, since that port is adapter-only rather than native.

Handheld quirks can be just as specific as macOS ones. The HP USB-C G5 Essential Dock (72C71AA) stops detecting monitors on hot-plug with a Steam Deck — but leaving the dock connected through a full cold shutdown and reboot restores video every time. The ACPI hot-plug handshake fails; the boot-time device tree mapping doesn't.
