Based on the suggestions we received, we’re proud to introduce HubKey Pro 2 — thoughtfully refined and upgraded with your input in mind.

The most requested upgrade was clear—better display output. In response, HubKey Pro 2 now features dual HDMI ports supporting 4K@60Hz, allowing you to power two high-resolution displays simultaneously. This enhancement is ideal for advanced multitasking, immersive creative workflows, and maximizing productivity. We’ve also optimized the internal circuitry and firmware to deliver more stable power and faster device recognition, ensuring smoother operation across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Steam Deck. Whether you’re working on a laptop, tablet, or handheld console, HubKey Pro 2 integrates seamlessly into your setup.


And here’s the biggest breakthrough—we’ve developed official drivers for HubKey products, unlocking full customization. With 170 preset combinations plus the ability to program multiple consecutive keys to match your workflow, HubKey Gen 2 gives you complete control over your shortcut layout. Your HubKey is no longer just a hub—it’s a fully personalized command center.

Looking for more than just a hub with basic ports? We’ve taken things to the next level. HubKey Gen 2 fuses a powerful multifunctional hub with a fully customizable keyboard—giving you not just better connectivity, but total control over how you work. Every key can be tailored to your needs, creating a workflow that’s faster, smarter, and uniquely yours.

Thanks to our built-in Driver, the keys support full multi-function customization. Whether you want shortcuts, macros, app launches, or tailored key sequences, you can assign every button to match your exact preferences and creative process.

And the best part? The moment you connect HubKey Gen 2 to your device, a dedicated settings interface pops up automatically on your desktop. With just a few clicks, you can fully customize every key and build a personalized command center—all in minutes.

And here’s the real upgrade—a sixth option with fully customizable key bindings. You can tailor up to four consecutive keys to match your exact workflow, and even customize your setup name for complete control. It’s all designed to give you faster, smoother, and more intuitive access than ever before.

With 11 essential ports, HubKey Pro 2 simplifies complex desktop setups. It includes USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet, SD/TF card slots, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a 100W PD port. No more dongles or limited laptop ports—just effortless connection to everything you need in one sleek hub.

HubKey Pro 2 features two HDMI ports, both supporting 4K resolution at 60Hz. This upgrade enables seamless dual-display setups with ultra-smooth visuals, allowing users to extend their workspace, boost productivity, and enhance multitasking—ideal for creators, coders, and professionals working across multiple applications.

Whether you’re multitasking with split screens—editing on one display while streaming on the other—or enjoying fluid 4K gaming and movies, this setup transforms your desk into a high-efficiency workstation or an immersive entertainment hub. With one-touch resolution viewing, you can monitor your display output in real time and adjust settings effortlessly.

Equipped with two USB-A 3.1 and one USB-C 3.1 ports, HubKey delivers transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Easily handle large documents, HD videos, or backups with dependable performance—making your daily tasks smoother and more efficient without lag or delay.

HubKey Pro 2 supports simultaneous SD and TF card reading with transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. Photographers, videographers, and drone users can offload content quickly and edit on the fly, removing the need for extra card readers and adapters.

The built-in RJ45 port supports up to 2.5 Gbps wired network speeds, delivering a fast and reliable internet connection for seamless video conferencing, efficient file transfers, and smooth cloud access. Perfect for users who need consistent performance without the instability of Wi-Fi.

Whether you’re connecting headphones, microphones, or external speakers, the built-in 3.5mm audio jack provides uninterrupted, high-quality sound for calls, music, and content creation. It’s simple, universal, and ready when you are.

The built-in customizable LED lighting offers a visually immersive experience while working. Whether you’re editing late at night or presenting in a dynamic space, the lighting can be adjusted with a single key—combining functionality with a sleek, modern look.
