* User tested CableMatters docking station

Docking Station: CableMatters Dual Display USB-C Docking Station, model 107008-BLK.

https://www.cablematters.com/pc-881-127-cable-matters-60-ghz-wireless-docking-station-hybrid-model-with-usb-c.aspx

I use this docking station with my Lemur Pro (lemp10) to connect via DisplayPort to an external monitor (1920 x 1080), a gigabit Ethernet connection, as well as mouse/keyboard input through the USB-2 ports. It also supplies power to the computer (up to 60 W). No issues encountered during first 24 hours of use, and it worked out of the box. I did test the HDMI port initially and that also works. Suspending the laptop then waking from keyboard through the docking station works.

I have not tested data transfer over the USB-3 ports, but the power output on the USB-A port on the front does work.

I have not tested outputting HDMI and DisplayPort simultaneously.

I have not tested multi-monitor daisy-chaining.

I have not tested audio through the docking station at all.

Sidenote, CableMatters is my go-to for buying any kind of cable - their products are always up to standard and they seem to care about quality. I am pleasantly surprised they also produced a docking station.

Also updated status for DisplayLink driver - not needed, works out of the box.

* Combine non-tested items onto one line.

* Use shorter make/model
