Just bought this docking station. First time I plugged it in, everything worked great. I unplugged to go to a meeting, and then upon returning and plugging back in, the keyboard and mouse no longer worked. The lights on both will just throb/flash as if there's a connection problem. Gimp website down. Samsung laptop print screen button. When I plug both directly into my laptop, everything works fine, but it kind of defeats the purpose of a dock. I'm having the same issue with a Dell Latitude E7270 Laptop. Keyboard works initially (F8 and arrow keys) and then during 'starting Windows' it powers off as does the mouse. Both are in a dock and I can get the mouse to power up if I change ports but the mouse driver never installs. The keyboard won't power back on even using the laptops port.
Thunderbolt Keyboard And Mouse Keyboard
Does anyone use Thunderbolt on Windows?
I'm on my 3rd laptop that has Thunderbolt.
First = Lenovo ThinkPad t430 with Apple Thunderbolt Display.
This had issues with network and USB disconnecting intermittently.
The 2015 Apple drivers improved it, but were not 100%
(Not supported on non-apple hardware in ANY way)
Second = Dell Precision M3800
Same Apple TB Display, same issue.
Elgado TB 2 dock. Lacie disk repair. Display occasionally drops. Network does not connect at boot.
USB disconnects occasionally.
No drivers have fixed this.
Finally = Dell Precision 5510
Dell Thunderbolt Dock.
Until the latest drivers the USB and network disconnected/reconnected
every 20 seconds non-stop.
Keyboard and Mouse connected through dock are just plain screwed up.
Neither are available at boot. Keyboard lags by seconds, Misses keystrokes,
repeats keys, disconnects.
Latest drivers fixed the constant disconnects. USB drives are stable.
Kbd&Mouse are still nonfunctional at boot time and unusable thereafter.
Has anyone had solid performance from Thunderbolt on Windows?
