Ugreen would mostly be my go-to store for any tech accessories ever since I was impressed by their price to performance ratio of their products. Ugreen has since expanded and produced more products in other areas such as audio. But one thing remains – high quality at affordable prices.
The post will showcase all of the Ugreen products that I am currently using for my desk setup.
Vertical Laptop Stand
My 15-inch MacBook Pro runs my entire setup. I wanted my MacBook Pro to stand vertically so that the base is exposed, allowing it to cool faster as compared to if it was resting on the table. Also, having my MacBook Pro standing will help free up desk space.
The Ugreen Vertical Laptop Stand comes in two models – (1) Single slot, and (2) Double slot. I am using the Double slot model as I sometimes store my iPad Pro on the second slot when I am not using it. The Ugreen Vertical Laptop Stand is made from aluminum alloy which features a sleek space grey colour, which really matches my MacBook Pro well. Build quality is great. It has slight heft to it at 300g, and the screws located on the stand allow you to adjust the gap between 12mm to 26mm, as shown below.
There are rubber cushions on the surface which the laptop makes contact to prevent any scratches. The base of the stand is padded with silicon to prevent it from moving around. Once my MacBook Pro is locked in well, it is sturdy. I particular like how the middle of the stand is hollow compared to other stands where it is covered with aluminum. As most heat exhaust of laptops are located at the back, having a hollow middle allows for greater airflow.
The Ugreen Vertical Laptop Stand costs S$24 for the single slot, and S$26 for the double slot. I’d recommend getting the double slot since it is only S$2 more.
360° Rotating Phone & Tablet Stand
Having my iPad Pro along with my MacBook Pro, I tend to use the Sidecar feature quite often, so I wanted to be able to place my iPad Pro at eye level next to my monitor. The Ugreen 360° Rotating Phone & Tablet Stand is exactly what I wanted.
The Ugreen 360° Rotating Phone & Tablet Stand is secured by clamping it between my table, and once it is locked in place it is very stable. The holder supports phones or tablet between 4″ to 12.9″ of diagonal screen size, so most tablets in the market would be supported. The spring loaded mechanism allows for easy extension and adjustment of the arms. There are knobs you can tighten/loosen to adjust the tension of the springs.
Combined with the 360° ball joint of the holder, I can adjust it any way I like. You can even setup a top down view, which is useful for product demos or taking an aesthetic flat-lay shot. I also like to use the Ugreen 360° Rotating Phone & Tablet Stand to hold my iPad so I can watch shows on my bed.
The Ugreen 360° Rotating Phone & Tablet Stand retails for S$40. If you do see yourself using something like this as a daily driver, I find that is worth paying for. It would be nice if Ugreen sells other accessories such as a 1/4″ mount to use on the stand so it can double as a microphone arm as well.
MU006 2.4GHz Wireless Silent Mouse
The Ugreen MU006 Wireless Mouse is an ergonomically shaped mouse, with a pronounced bump on the left side of the mouse for right-handed users to rest their thumb comfortably while using. The left side is rubberized in order to offer better grip when using the mouse.
There is currently only one colour option, which is black with a grey top shell. It would have looked nicer if Ugreen went for a matte black top shell as the current grey one does pick up some fingerprints and oil. The overall build quality is quite good. No noticeable creaking of the plastic shell.
| Dimensions | Height: 104mm Width: 54mm Depth: 33mm |
| Weight | 83.0g (with AA battery) 67.8g (no battery) |
| Sensor | Optical with 5-Level DPI: 800/1200/1600/2000/4000 |
| Wireless connection | 2.4GHz wireless |
| Buttons | 1. Left-click 2. Right-click 3. Back 4. Forward 5. Scroll-wheel with middle click 6. DPI button |
| Battery | 1x AA battery |
I would personally classify the size of the Ugreen MU006 Wireless Mouse to be in the small/medium segment. Apart from the standard left and right click buttons, the Ugreen MU006 Wireless Mouse also features back and forward buttons which are helpful for productivity. You can check out how the mouse sounds like below:
All of the buttons, including the scroll wheel are silent operation, meaning the clicks are more of thuds. You can still hear the scroll wheel ratcheting but it is muted. This is great for use in the office. When it comes to feel of the buttons, they feel dampened compared to the typical tactility of regular mouse clicks.
The Ugreen MU006 2.4GHz Wireless Mouse retails for S$13.
USB C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter
I’m using a PRISM+ monitor which does not have USB-C as a display input. And my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a standard HDMI port. So, in order for me to use a standard HDMI cable, I’d have to use an adapter to convert one HDMI end to USB-C.
And this is achieved through my Ugreen USB C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter. It is a HDMI 2.0 adapter, which means it supports up to 4K @ 60Hz or 2K @ 144Hz. If you’re somehow running an 8K setup then you might need to look elsewhere. What I really like about the Ugreen USB C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter is its build quality. The casing is made from aluminum in a space grey finish which has come to be a standard of Ugreen. The 10cm cable is nylon braided for greater durability.
The Ugreen USB C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter retails for S$19.
8K 60Hz HDMI 2.1 Braided Cable
Even though my above HDMI adapter is only up to HDMI 2.0, I decided to use Ugreen HDMI 2.1 Braided Cable for future proofing. HDMI 2.1 means that it can support up to 8K @ 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz. There is also support for eARC, with a larger bandwidth of 48Gbps.
Apart from being the highest spec-ed HDMI cable you can get now, I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cable. The 7mm thick cable is thicker than typical HDMI cables, with its PVC and cotton braiding making it incredibly tough.
There are many lengths you can choose from. The Ugreen HDMI 2.1 Braided Cable in 2-meters is priced at S$12.
RCA to 3.5mm Braided Cable
Every desk setup should have a sound system, be it a 2.0 speaker or a pair of headphones. I am currently rocking the Creative T60 2.0 speakers together with the Fosi Audio Q4 DAC. To get the best from my speakers, I’d need to connect the speakers to the DAC via a RCA to 3.5mm audio cable.
And I have decided to count on Ugreen RCA to 3.5mm Braided Cable to do just that. There are a few RCA cables that Ugreen sells, but I particularly like this one as the cable is cotton braided and uses a zinc alloy shell for its housing that feels premium.
The Ugreen RCA to 3.5mm Braided Cable retails for S$10 for the 2-meter option.
4-Ports USB-A Hub
Most of portable USB drives and accessories still use USB-A so I like to have one-stop shop for all my USB-A devices to be plugged into. The Ugreen 4-Ports USB-A Hub is one of the rare few USB hub that Ugreen sells which has a cable length of 1 meter. This means I am not forced to put the Ugreen 4-Ports USB-A Hub near my MacBook Pro, and can choose where to place it on my desk.
The Ugreen 4-Ports USB-A Hub features three USB-A port on the front, and one at the top. I like this unique layout of having one port at the top as it allows me to plug in my ATH-G1WL wireless dongle there without taking up too much space. It would have been great the hub came with an option to use your own USB-C to USB-C cable. Also, Ugreen should also consider adding rubber feet to the base of the hub so it won’t slide around easily.
The Ugreen 4-Ports USB-A Hub retails for S$14 for the 1-meter option.
Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter
Sometimes I like to kick back and relax at my desk listening to songs on my iPhone with my Moondrop Chu IEM. However, since iPhone doesn’t have a 3.5mm AUX input anymore, I’d need to get a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter. Sure, I could get the Apple’s one for S$15 but it’s made from plastic.
Ugreen’s Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter has an aluminum option with a braided cable. I much prefer this as it will be far more durable than what Apple has to offer. Furthermore, the Ugreen Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter is MFI certified, meaning that it is officially licensed by Apple.
The Ugreen Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter retails for S$16, a little more expensive than Apple’s but for the better materials used – I’d say it is worth it.
Where to buy
You can get them from Ugreen’s official Lazada store. I’ll summarize all of them in a table below:
