HONG KONG, Aug 29 — IT accessories company Unitek has introduced a rather unconventional entry into the crowded USB‑C hub market with its new uHUB S6+ 6‑in‑1 USB‑C Hub (D1163A) — a device that merges everyday connectivity needs with a built‑in wireless presenter pen and a red laser pointer.
According to the product document, the uHUB S6+ packs the usual essentials: a 4K@60Hz HDMI port, three 5Gbps USB ports (two USB‑A and one USB‑C), and a 100W Power Delivery passthrough capable of supplying up to 85W to a laptop. It supports Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and comes in a compact ABS housing measuring 121.26mm × 48.52mm × 12.03mm.
But the headline feature is the magnetic presenter pen, which snaps onto the hub and works as a 2.4GHz wireless controller for PowerPoint and Keynote. It offers page‑up/page‑down controls, a soft‑touch finish, and a Class 2 red laser pointer (650nm) with a range of up to 30 metres. The pen’s mode can be switched between Windows PPT and Mac Keynote by holding both navigation buttons for three seconds — a detail spelled out in the manual: “The indicator light will flash rapidly 3 times… switching to Keynote mode.”
While clearly designed for business users and presenters, the inclusion of a laser pointer inevitably invites another use case: entertaining household cats. Unitek doesn’t advertise this, but anyone who has ever lived with a feline knows a red dot is an irresistible invitation to chaos. The company’s own description notes simply: “Red, Class 2 Laser (650nm)” — which, in practical terms, means your next Zoom meeting may feature an unexpected furry cameo.
