UGREEN and the Art of a Tidy Desk: Five Devices Worth Considering

Improving work productivity often starts with something simple: a tidy desk. UGREEN, a China-based technology accessories maker, offers a range of devices designed to tidy up the workspace while speeding up workflow. In recent years, the UGREEN name has become increasingly respected thanks to its commitment to delivering functional devices at competitive prices.

UGREEN focuses not only on performance but also on portable designs and durable materials such as aluminum alloy. The company targets remote workers, creative professionals, and users who need high connectivity without sacrificing desk aesthetics. Here are five UGREEN devices worth considering for your workspace.

If you need extensive connectivity, the Maxidok Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station is the answer. The device supports up to three 4K/144Hz displays, two 6K/60Hz displays, or one 8K/60Hz display. With a TB5 host port capable of delivering 140 watts of power, this docking station can recharge a 16-inch MacBook Pro from zero to 50% in just 26 minutes. UGREEN claims a 21GB movie file transfer takes only two seconds. Even so, some users have reported connection issues, so device compatibility should be confirmed before buying.

For charging needs, the Nexode 500W GaN Charging Station offers substantial power in a desktop size. Using gallium-nitride technology, this charger can deliver up to 240 watts to a laptop when connected to a compatible device. When all six ports are in use, the main USB-C port still provides 240 watts, while the other USB-C ports are limited to 60 watts and USB-A to 20 watts. UGREEN includes 11 layers of protection, including a temperature sensor that automatically optimizes output.

Users in the Apple and Android ecosystems can take advantage of the MagFlow 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. The device has a Qi2-certified magnetic dock that can rotate up to 360 degrees and fold for travel. ThermalGuard technology keeps temperatures stable, while an eight-stage defense system protects against voltage spikes and short circuits. Unfortunately, there is one one-star review claiming the device failed after a few months, though UGREEN provides a two-year warranty.

If your laptop lacks ports, the Revodok Pro 9-in-1 USB-C Hub can be a lifesaver. This hub provides two USB-C, two USB-A, 1 Gbps Ethernet, 4K/60Hz HDMI, SD and microSD slots, and an 85-watt host port. Three of the four USB ports support transfers of up to 10Gbps. A built-in blackout button lets you cut the video signal to an external monitor. However, the laptop must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output to work.

Finally, the Vertical Wireless Mouse offers a 57-degree vertical design to reduce wrist strain. The mouse can connect to three devices at once via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz, and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and even phones or tablets. Although some users complain about buttons that are not tactile enough, this US$30 mouse remains an economical choice.

"UGREEN devices are designed to provide a balance between price, performance, and portability," is the impression that emerges from user reviews on Amazon, most of which give ratings above 4 stars.

For remote workers in Indonesia, devices like these can be an investment in creating a more efficient workspace, especially with the growing hybrid work culture. However, keep in mind that prices in the Indonesian market may differ due to taxes and distribution. Are you ready to tidy up your desk with one of these devices?
