    Hey, could you please tell me the name of the mousemap ? Really just felt in love with it!!!

    • @mrtwomore

      It’s called the playtech XL mouse pad. But this is a similar one on Amazon for reference:

    Could you expand on what you said in the description about it being laggy when doing excel sheets? I’m a college student, and I’m looking to buy this adapter for my two 4K monitors. If you could make an additional video on your experience, I’d appreciate it

    • @mrtwomore
      @mrtwomore  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure, it's more noticeable with the more resource-intensive programs running but the laggy experience really shows up when using a mouse through Bluetooth (using the Logitech unify device now and better but not perfect) and it seems to be exaggerated when using the display link software and the Starlink dongle. Maybe this is because there is already a slight lag from the CPU rendering the screen displays through the DisplayLink software and then the mouse lag input?? That's only my experience and not by any means universal. The actual function of using it for Excel sheets and standard navigation and functions like web surfing etc you wouldn't likely notice that much and it's usable for sure, but it is there constantly in our case. Maybe I'm picky because I'm used to my PC and Macbook Pro 15" because my partner doesn't complain about it???
      The setup we have on that video is 2x 60Hz 4k monitors, Mouse Logitech MX master 3, Macbook Pro 13", and the Aten Thunderbolt 3 dock for USB plugs and power.
      Let me know if that helped answer your question or if you needed that video! Thanks, Ese

      @@whoami6821 yeah I do but I asking my fiancé she says she doesn’t notice it and I wonder if it’s me be very picky as I usually use my 144hz monitor with my PC and the mouse input lag is very low. I would say it’s definitely there and more noticeable when she has more apps and windows open but not enough to deem it unusable. I hope that makes sense ☺️

    clean production Ese! Vid is great, is this the same for the M1 mac mini?
    - need to work on the audio quality though, theres something in your eq or compression thats giving a little background noise in the mid- low frequencies.
    Love your work xx

    • @mrtwomore
      @mrtwomore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I think it's time for you to help me out with the audio as you are a trained professional in this field! Please. I actually answered that in the description but to recap no for Mac Mini M1 they are able to do two monitors out of the box! Can't wait for you to come over to help with the audio or even better see you in the gym!

    I've been reading on the internet that people experience issues with displaylink like random glitches, having to unplug/replug the adapter constantly. Have you experienced any of these issues?

    • @mrtwomore
      @mrtwomore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So far we haven’t noticed any of those faults, I’d say in the time he have had it we have had to unplug and re plug the adapter in less there 5 times. That’s with everyday use and multiple off/on situations.
      I can’t speak on other peoples set ups but with this one it’s worked pretty seem less

    Hi ! Thanks for the video :) I have trouble with mine, I can hear the sound but can't see the videos I am playing when noth are connected to my mac. Do you happen to know why ? Thanks a lot !!

    • @mrtwomore
      @mrtwomore  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! A couple things I have come across since having it.
      1. Sometimes the software needed to shut down and reopened to get it to connect to the screens attached to the USB dongle.
      2. Try with one screen plugged in and then see if the display link software can recognise them.
      3. Check in the system preferences to see if the display set up is mirror or extend. You might be able to play around with some of those settings to see if that intiates a connection.
      4. Check resolution and refresh rate set up in the same display preferences incase there is an issue there.
      I hope you get to the bottom of it all! Ese

    Hello, So My 2 monitors are HDMI, Nay suggestion for this to work Thanks

    • @mrtwomore
      @mrtwomore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I couldn’t find a perfect solution with this that is a dongle and displaylink compatible the best I could find is: www.startech.com/en-nz/audio-video-products/usb32hd2
      But you will have to have one monitor at 4K 30Hz and the other at 1080 which is a bit tough if you have two 4K monitors!

    Hi there from Denmark.
    One quick question. If you use accessibility zoom, under system prefs, does the zoom effect both/all connected monitors or is there a way to make it only effect one? I have use Decklink PCIe capture card from Black magic on my older system to avoid the zoom to effect both.
    I hope the question made sense :-D
    Thanx again :-)

    • @mrtwomore

      Hey, for MacBooks you only need to install the software and I think it does the rest for you once you plug in the dongle.
