yeah i have a few of them and they all get extremely hot, plus they look ugly as hell. usually a super short cord so right where my mouse would be is a blazing hot ugly box with a bunch of cables and junk sticking out. and if you accidentally jiggle it or move the laptop too much the whole thing blanks out for a second interrupting work flow.
They have many options depending on your needs. If you want it to charge your laptop through the dock / hub, ensure that it has power pass through functionality.
Why not using small usbc splitter? Like 7 in 1
Edit:
The splitter or hub gives you 3 usbs, usbc, hdmi, Ethernet, sd card reader and charge your device.
Similar to laptop docks for 1/10th of the price.

Using a dongle to fix your dongle problems. 🤔 (you’re not wrong, just thought it was funny)
Instead of having many dongles just buy a splitter and that’s it.
It’ll have 3 usbs, usbc, hdmi, Ethernet, sd card reader and power pass through.

Because they heat very easily, suffer throttleneck problems (Ethernet+HDMI+copytoUSB = sudden drop in Ethernet)

By splitter I mean small docking station. I use it daily and never had issues. I plug a mouse, hdmi, and Ethernet cable as well as power pass through.

Some do, others don’t. It helps to check out reviews and ask around before buying.
