Keeping your daily workflow tools accessible and organized isn’t something we all do, but a little optimization can go a long way. To that end, there are a few UGREEN products you can invest in to improve the look, feel, and productivity of your home office or workspace. Over the past few years, UGREEN has moved up the ranks and the manufacturer’s commitment to cost-effective technology is just one of its calling cards.

Most UGREEN products are carefully designed to help you get the most out of your workstation. The company also focuses heavily on portability and intuitive designs; You’ll be hard-pressed to find a UGREEN device that doesn’t fit into a bag or laptop sleeve, and chassis materials like aluminum alloy (used on several UGREEN accessories) help ensure your gadgets are built to last.

UGREEN has a dizzying number of products to choose from, so we’ve put together a list of five of our favorite UGREEN gadgets that we’d want on our desk at all times. We also didn’t select any device with less than four stars on Amazon, and we referenced user reviews for each of our five selections.

One of the best ways to optimize your workspace is to install a docking station. For those who need multiple high-resolution displays and plenty of peripherals, the $400 UGREEN Maxidok Thunderbolt 5 Dock is the ultimate hub we recommend. Delivering up to 120 Gbit/s on its four TB5 ports, the Maxidok transfers large files in record time; UGREEN even claims you can transfer a 21GB movie in just two seconds!

For those of us looking to invest in multiple displays, the Maxidok supports up to three 4K/144Hz connections, two 6K/60Hz, or a single 8K/60Hz display. The dock is compatible with most Mac and Windows TB5 and TB4 hardware, and its TB5 host port (which connects to your laptop or desktop) provides up to 140 watts of power; that’s enough juice to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro from zero to 50% battery in just 26 minutes.

Other notable features include a five-stage cooling system, SD and microSD card slots, and a 2.5G Ethernet port (with 2 x USB-A 3.2 and 2 x USB-A 3.0 ports). On Amazon, the Maxidok TB5 has earned 4 out of 5 stars, based on over 140 user reviews. Many customers appreciate the dock’s plug-and-play design, fast performance, and overall versatility. We’ve seen some reports of connection issues, so you’ll definitely want to make sure the technology you plan to connect with is compatible.

The massive $250 UGREEN Nexode 500W GaN Charging Station is desktop power on a whole new level. A solid 200 Amazon reviews earned this workstation companion 4.4 out of 5 stars, and most people praised the Nexode’s performance, from its fast loading speeds to its relatively cool operation. It’s a big deal that a gallium nitride (GaN) charger pushes so much power, even though you can only get 240 watts when a compatible laptop is connected.

In terms of specs, the numbers also look good for charging multiple devices: with two products connected, you’ll get up to 240 watts from the top USB-C port and 100 watts from each other USB-C. With all six ports used, the main USB-C still reaches 240 watts; all other USB-C ports are limited to 60 watts, while USB-A is locked at 20 watts. Whether you need to charge multiple laptops simultaneously or your daily driving technology (e.g. phone, tablet, wireless headphones, etc.) needs supplementing, the UGREEN Nexode is the powerhouse for the job.

UGREEN is always big on proper failsafes, and we’d like you to know that the Nexode has 11 levels of product defense, including protection against voltage spikes, overvoltage and overheating. It even has a built-in temperature sensor that continuously monitors and optimizes the device’s charging output based on the number of connected devices and their type.

Apple and Android may never see eye to eye, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the $140 UGREEN MagFlow 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station with both. Mind you, you’ll be in the best possible shape if you’re an iOS enthusiast, as the MagFlow is capable of simultaneously charging an iPhone (up to 25 watts), AirPods and an Apple Watch (both up to 5 watts). UGREEN even included a 45-watt USB-C power adapter.

The MagFlow 3-in-1 features a Qi2-certified magnetic dock that holds your iPhone for life; the same goes for Android devices with a compatible MagSafe case. UGREEN’s ThermalGuard technology keeps everything cool and efficient, and an eight-stage defense system protects your technology against overheating, voltage spikes and short circuits. We also like that the MagFlow is easily foldable for travel and that the Qi2 dock can rotate up to 360 degrees.

What are people saying? On Amazon, buyers have given the MagFlow 3-in-1 a 4.4 out of 5 stars, based on over 310 reviews. Although most reviews are 5-star, this 1-star review caught our attention; Apparently the MagFlow failed after just a few months. That said, there don’t appear to be any major quality control issues and UGREEN offers a two-year warranty on the product.

A portable USB-C hub can be a lifesaver when your laptop doesn’t have enough ports. The best models offer fast data transfers, charging capabilities, and several built-in safety features, which is exactly what the $43 UGREEN Revodok Pro 9-in-1 USB-C Hub does. This device is packed with useful connections, including 2 x USB-C, 2 x USB-A, 1 x Ethernet (1 Gbps), 1 x HDMI (4K/60 Hz), SD and microSD slots, and an 85-watt host port (USB-C PD) for your laptop.

Three of the four USB ports support transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, making it ideal for dropping files onto a USB drive or external SSD. We also like the built-in power off button that cuts off the video feed to a connected monitor. UGREEN opted for an aluminum alloy chassis, so the adapter also resists drops and shocks well. And while you may never use all of the ports the Revodok Pro 9-in-1 offers, it’s nice to know they’re there.

Amazon shoppers have given the product a 4.4 out of 5 stars, based on over 1,700 reviews. Most people were happy with the performance and versatility of the accessory, but your laptop must support DisplayPort Alt mode for the Revodok to output video. You may also need to install drivers to make everything work properly.

Verticality may not be the first thing we think of when we hear the word “mouse,” but the $30 UGREEN Wireless Vertical Mouse proves that the concept exists, and UGREEN isn’t the only manufacturer offering it. With a 57-degree vertical design, it aims to reduce wrist strain while providing comfortable accommodation for your thumb and palm. It may take a little getting used to at first, but once you’re locked in, it’ll be hard to go back to a regular mouse.

UGREEN features broad compatibility, so you can easily connect to Windows and Mac hardware via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz. (For the latter, the included USB-A adapter must be plugged into the device you want to pair it with.) You can also pair the mouse to three devices simultaneously; Switching inputs is as simple as briefly pressing the switch button on the device. You can also pair the mouse to a phone or tablet, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it could interface with some smart TV/streaming device apps.

Now for the good words people have to say: Amazon shoppers have given this UGREEN mouse 4.4 out of 5 stars, based on over 2,950 reviews. Users like the cost and performance (for the most part), but some people felt that some buttons weren’t tactile enough. You could definitely do a lot worse for $30, but we also understand the importance of solid haptics, especially when working with multiple displays.
