When Anker sent me their limited review kit of the Prime 14-in-1 Charging Docking Station (Black Myth: Wukong Edition) — a bundle not available for sale — I knew immediately this wasn’t just another generic slab of ports. Even before powering it on, the presentation screamed premium. The black-and-gold aesthetic themed around Black Myth: Wukong gives it a collector’s edge, almost like it belongs next to high-end gaming setups rather than hidden behind a monitor.

I’ve reviewed plenty of docks in passing, but this one demanded full attention because of how aggressively it aims to be the command center for creators, gamers, and productivity fiends. During my time with it, I paired it with my ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) and ran my Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED as my primary test display — and everything about that connection experience felt seamless. With triple-display support, 140W charging, a built-in smart screen, and a rotary control knob, this dock doesn’t just power your setup — it becomes part of it.

Wukong Edition Appeal

Anker didn’t just reskin this dock — they elevated it. The matte black chassis is trimmed with gold linework and subtle Wukong insignias that don’t feel gimmicky or gaudy. It hits the sweet spot where you can proudly leave it on your desk without it clashing with RGB setups or minimalist layouts. The body feels solid with a premium aluminum finish, slightly hefted so it doesn’t shift when plugging in cables. At the front, the smart info display gives you real-time readouts of connected power draw, active ports, and device statuses. It’s something you don’t realize you want until you have it.

Most docks are “set it and forget it,” but this one gives you visibility and control without diving into apps or OS menus. The control knob on the right side lets you toggle through power output metrics, active ports, system monitoring modes, and quick toggles for eco charging and brightness. It’s quick, responsive, and gives the dock an almost command-center-like presence on your desk. The dock supports up to three external displays via two HDMI ports (up to 8K@30 or 4K@60 depending on configuration) and one DisplayPort (up to 8K@60). Since this uses DisplayLink technology, I installed the DisplayLink Manager for Windows, rebooted once, and immediately had my Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED recognized without any handshake delay. I also tested a dual-4K monitor combo and experienced smooth performance during video playback, multitasking, and timeline scrubbing in Premiere Pro. For competitive gaming, I still preferred gaming on the G16’s internal display or via a direct GPU output. While DisplayLink latency wasn’t noticeable during casual use or creative workloads, I wouldn’t route fast-paced shooters like Battlefield 6, Fortnite, or Destiny 2 through the dock for serious sessions.

Who This Dock Is For

My ROG Zephyrus G16 pulled a steady 140W through USB-C, even during content rendering and benchmarks in Performance Mode. A secondary USB-C port pushes up to 100W, letting me charge handhelds like the ROG Ally X or even top off a power bank. The dock dynamically allocates power based on what’s plugged in, but never once did my laptop dip into battery mode. With this much happening under the hood, passive cooling wouldn’t cut it. Anker uses ActiveShield 3.0 thermal management, which includes real-time temperature monitoring, a subtle internal fan, and automatic cooling ramp when power draw spikes. The fan is whisper-level — only audible in complete silence and quieter than coil whine on gaming laptops.

As someone frequently jumping between writing, photo editing, external SSD transfers, and testing gaming accessories, I threw everything at this dock. I transferred 40GB files over a 10Gbps USB-C port, loaded 4K footage on the G9 OLED with no frame skips, charged the G16, ROG Ally X, wireless earbuds, and phone simultaneously, used an external DAC through the 3.5mm jack without distortion, and maintained rock-solid Ethernet performance through the 2.5GbE port. It felt like the dock was built with multitaskers and hybrid users in mind.

Spec Sheet (Anker Prime Charging Dock – 14-in-1 Triple Display)

REVIEW SCORE: 9/10

The Anker Prime 14-in-1 Charging Docking Station doesn’t just clean up your desk — it upgrades it. Between the power delivery, display flexibility, immersive smart UI, and a design that fits into both creator setups and battle stations, it checks every meaningful box. It’s not designed for casual users who only need a couple of USB ports. It’s built for those who want a hub that feels like part of their workstation rather than an attachment to it.

Now excuse me while I keep reorganizing my digital life, one dock at a time.
