TL;DR This dock is perfect for me! Identifical video outputs with good I/0. 85W passthrough for Macbook Pro. And a neat power button!
This is my 1st ever review on an item. Bought it with my own dinero.
3 Reasons This Dock is Perfect for me
1) Identical video output ports
One of my biggest gripes with ThunderBolt 3 docks is looking for one that has the same 2 ports for displays. Sometimes they do 1 Type C and 1 Dispalyport, other times it's 1 Displayport and 1 HDMI. It's annoying because I just want 2 of the same.
And even when they are the same port, they don't always support 4K 60hz. This important to me because I have a 1440p/144hz monitor and a 1080/144hz. Luckily, this dock supports 2 HDMI 2.0 ports that will output the highest refresh rate for both of my monitors!
2) 85W passthrough
I have a 15in Macbook Pro which needs a lot of power. Since this dock supports 85W passthrough, it has become a 1 cable solution for my macbook 15 inch. I currently have 2 monitors connected, USB webcam, Gigabit ethernet cable, and a Type C USB Key. Everything works, even the headphone jack for both audio output and input. A lot of docks only go up to 65W.
3) Power Button!
This is definitely the cherry on top. I've been leaving my macbook on nonstop while connected to 2 monitors because I keep the laptop closed and I can't be bothered with turning it on and off. If I power off the computer, I have to open the laptop to press the power button. With this dock, I can turn off the dock and stop supplying power to the laptop. This allows the laptop to sleep! Now it won't stay warm overnight and I can save on my electric bill! The one thing I don't like about the power button is that there is an LED indicator on the power button itself. So you have to press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until the LED is off. But since your finger covers the light, it's hard to see. Not a big deal, but something to improve upon for v2.
4) Downside / Quirks
See point 3 regarding power button.
One thing I wasn't expecting was the chunky power adapter. The dock uses a barrel plug which is connected to a rather large power adapter. The power adapter is not at the end of the plug, its in the middle of the cable (and it disconnects in 2 halves). I won't dock it in rating because A) It does it's job and B) The stock power adapter is also chunky. Unless they add a GaN power adapter, I can't see this changing. The power adapter is about 6in x 2 in. Maybe next time it could just use a Type C port for power? That way I can use my own cables since GaN are getting smaller and smaller.
For the next dock. I would want the same dock, but with a smaller/no power adapter and a smaller dock itself. This could be done by removing the MicroSD card reader and a few other ports. For me, my ideal ports would be 2 video outputs, 1 Type C, 1 USB A, ethernet, headphone jack, and ethernet with a power button! And maybe with a lower price ;) $260 is a lot for this dock, but if you have the money to spend on it, don't hesitate at all.

Good 4K dock for Dell Workstation
Purchased this to replace a not functioning Dell USBC dock that would not drive 2 4K monitors. The Corsair dock works well, drives both 4K monitors. My only concern is it only has 2 USB ports, so I needed a USB hub for my other devices. The device also powers my laptop and looks good on the desktop. ***update= the device periodically drops my monitor connections then has to reconnect. this is irritating, happens now at least once per week. This is used as a work device so I'm on it daily from 7AM-5PM M-F.

This dock works well with both MacOS and Windows 11

On the Mac, I am using a USB C to HDMI to one monitor that runs at 3840x1600 @85hz and a TB4 to displayport on another monitor that is 1920x1080 @144hz perfectly going through the dock. On the PC, though, I only use one port to a monitor since I use a GPU in the PC for games, bypassing the dock completely.
Using the onboard 2.5G port gets me full line speed to the Mac for file transfers to servers on a 10G line and is able to take advantage of 1.5G internet to the home.
So far, I'm quite happy with this dock. I've paired it with a USB C hub to add additional USB A ports and everything is working for the most part. The only problems I had were with Windows not recognizing the dock so I had to plug a keyboard into the PC to login and let Windows recognize the device. I've also noticed that sometimes I cannot get into the UEFI on the PC using the dock. I suspect that's not a problem with the dock but likely a problem with a PC's TB4 ports and just general PC quirks, even on an Intel platform.
I would recommend this dock for use with both OSes in any case and I expect that it will work fine with Linux as well.

Das aus Aluminium gefertigte neue Corsair-Dock wird über Thunderbolt 3 mit dem Rechner verbunden, die maximale Bandbreite liegt dabei dem Hersteller zufolge bei 40 Gbit/s. Am Dock selbst stehen dann je zwei USB-C-Anschlüsse mit 10 Gbit/s und zwei USB-A-Anschlüsse mit 5 Gbit/s zur Verfügung. Für den Anschluss von Bildschirmen bietet das Corsair TBT100 zwei HDMI-2.0-Anschlüsse, über die zwei Displays mit bis zu 4K/60Hz betrieben werden können. Außerdem verfügt das Dock über einen Gigabit-Ethernet-Anschluss, einen integrierten SD-Kartenleser und eine kombinierte 3,5-mm-Ein-/Ausgangsbuchse für Audi
Auf der Front:
1x USB C 10Gbit
1x SD-Kartenleser
1x 3,5mm Headset Anschluss
Auf der Rückseite:
2x USB A 5Gbit
1x Gbit LAN
1x USB C 10Gbit
2x HDMI 2.0 (4K 60Hz)
1x Thunderbolt 3!!! Ganz wichtig > Das ist der Eingang <!!!!!!
1x Netzteilanschluss
Der Thunderbolt 3 Eingang kann auch gleichzeitig Euer Notebook mit bis zu 85W versorgen. Das Dock selbst wird von einem 100W Netzteil (20V/5A) gespeist. In der Praxis sicherlich ausreichend, aber knapp! Zu berechnen sind ca. 85W via USB C und alleine die beiden USB C Ports können 1,5A (2x 7,5W) verarbeiten oder beanspruchen und das sind schon mal etwa 100W.
Das Corsair TBT100 Dock verfügt über einen Einschalter auf der Front. Ist das Dock über diesen komplett ausgeschaltet benötigt dieses 0W, aber nur wenn keine Geräte angesteckt oder verbunden sind !!!!
Ist das Dock eingeschaltet, aber nicht mit einem PC-Verbunden benötigt dieses ca. 2,5W + des Eigenverbrauches der USB-Geräte, welche gerade mit dem Dock verbunden sind, werden dann aber weiter mit Strom versorgt werden, auch im Standby.
Das Dock schaltet sich also automatisch nie zu 100% ab.
Im Betrieb an einem Notebook kommt es natürlich auf den Stromverbrauch des Notebooks an, wie viel Strom das Dock zieht. Generell ist dieses aber nicht allzu stromhungrig.
Trennt Ihr das Dock vom Netz, dann merkt sich dieses den letzten Einschaltzustand! War diese vorm Ausziehen ein, dann wird dieses beim Einstecken auch von alleine wieder eingeschaltet. Dabei lieferten alle Anschlüsse auch die beworbene Leistung, dies gilt sowohl für die USB-Ports, wie aber auch für die HDMI Ports. Ebenso klappte das Laden mit bis zu 85W problemlos.
Tolles Gerät, aber der Preis ist auch ganz schön toll, ob der User das ausgeben will, liegt natürlich bei jedem Nutzer selbst, da es auch USB-C Hubs mit ähnlichen Belegungen und Anschlüssen für einen geringeren Betrag zu erwerben sind. Und bitte noch einen passenden Stecker für die Stromversorgung im EU Bereich mit beilegen, das müsste für den Preis noch mit möglich sein.
