Razer USB-C Dock Drops to $52 on Amazon; BluHub With Blu-ray Drive Surges on Kickstarter
Amazon drops Razer USB-C Dock to $52; BluHub dock with Blu-ray drive raises $214K on Kickstarter.
The Razer USB-C Dock is an 11-in-1 portable hub with an aluminum body. It provides HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C, SD and microSD slots, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also supports up to 85W laptop charging via USB-C Power Delivery. Razer markets it for both Windows and Mac setups, and says it is designed for travel with low heat buildup.
Separately, TechRadar reported that a Kickstarter campaign for the BluHub, a 9-in-1 dock that includes a Blu-ray drive, has drawn pledges of $214,411 against a goal of $700. The device connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 at up to 10Gbps and is bus-powered. It has four USB 3.0 ports, SD and microSD slots, and can read and write Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs at up to 6x Blu-ray burning speeds. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, and USB On-The-Go.
The BluHub is currently offered at a super early bird price of $59, with a planned retail price of $129 and an estimated ship date of November 2026. TechRadar noted that Kickstarter is not a retailer and does not offer refunds after a project is fully funded. Some Reddit commenters, the publication said, have questioned the device's credentials, pointing to its 3D-printed enclosure and the absence of a specified drive model.
