Razer has just unveiled their latest innovation in PC connectivity – the Razer USB 4 Dock. This sleek piece of hardware might just be the answer for those looking to declutter their desk while maximising their setup’s potential, whether for gaming or productivity.
I’m currently using the Belkin Connect Thunderbolt 4 5-in-1 Core Hub and can already see how useful it is. Razer’s new dock seems to be way more advanced compared to the Belkin’s one though.
At the heart of this dock is the cutting-edge USB 4 technology, pushing data transfer speeds up to a blazing 40Gb/s – that’s eight times faster than the old USB 3.0 standard. For gamers and content creators running multiple peripherals, this means no more performance bottlenecks when connecting your gaming mice, keyboards, or streaming gear.
The dock’s most impressive feature is its ability to handle dual 4K displays, with one monitor running at a smooth 120Hz and the other at 60Hz. This is particularly valuable for competitive gamers who need that high refresh rate for their main display while keeping Discord, chat, or streaming tools open on the second screen.
What makes this dock particularly practical is its comprehensive 14-in-1 port selection. You’re getting everything from HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 to USB-A and USB-C ports, plus SD card support – which is really handy for content creators like myself who take product photos for reviewing purposes. Razer’s also included a dedicated 2.4GHz port specifically designed to reduce wireless interference with gaming peripherals – a thoughtful touch for competitive players.
Power delivery is another standout feature, with the dock capable of delivering up to 100W through its USB-C connection. This means your modern laptop stays charged during those intensive gaming sessions or workdays, all through a single cable. There’s even an independent power button that lets you charge devices without needing to connect to a PC. Would be useful in dual-setup like myself where I plug my Dell XPS 13 work laptop on one end, and my gaming laptop/desktop on the other.
Available in both Black and Mercury White to match your setup’s aesthetic, the Razer USB 4 Dock is built with a solid aluminium chassis that should stand up to daily use. It’s priced at A$379.95 AUD ($459.95 NZD) and is available now through Razer.com, RazerStores, and authorised resellers.
