4K@120hz dock recommendations?
Question
I’m looking for a dock to connect and external monitor and 8+ USB peripherals. It would need to also output 4k@120 hz.
Any recommendations are appreciated!

That many USB ports with the 4K@120Hz puts it into a crazy category:not sure which laptop you have, but this will do one monitor 4K@120Hz/144Hz on any Apple Silicon laptop.
There's docks/hubs that will do 4K@120Hz that are less than $100, but have nowhere near the amount of USB ports you are looking for... this comes in at 7 USB ports.
Will also power/charge your laptop.
Thank you. Looks like I might actually only need 6 ports. This is for a M3 MacBook Air.

Brother! What exactly is "this"? Could you please share the link again?
What docks are there? There's no links or anything
If you’re working with Thunderbolt 3 / 4, you can daisy-chain docks. I know it’s not as clean and requires two power plugs, but getting a 3 USB-C Thunderbolt dock could then run USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort, along with another dock loaded with various ports.
If you’re plugging a bunch of USB-A, along with really cheap docks at the end of a daisy chain, many of those 3 USB-C Thunderbolt docks also have 1 USB-A.
thanks! the thunderbolt thing was confusing to me. I knew I had two USB-C ports on this MBA but didn't realize Thunderbolt was still a thing
if you have Apple Silicon and less than M2Pro, you can only get 4K@60Hz. you can buy an adapter and use this guide to get 4K@120Hz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEQH42QP4zk&t=276s
I have a MBP M2 Pro and a MBA M3. Will those do 4k@120?
This is great, thank you!
