   Anyone know of a USB C hub (or a Thunderbolt one, whatever) that actually works to connect two HDMI extended displays on an M3 MacBook Pro? I feel like this should not be this complicated.

   Ideally I’d like something reasonably portable that also has an Ethernet jack, USB A and C ports, and maybe a SD card reader, but I guess let’s start with “actually works”

     @ian It'll probably need to be thunderbolt, and you should probably specify resolution and refresh rate because that makes a difference. Driving my 5120x1440 monitor at 60Hz+ was tricky.

     @ian For extra fun, I use it with a KVM. Ended up needing optical displayport cables.
