I bought following and it works fine as well:
Dodocool 45W charger EU
Ugreen USB Type C to C cable 3A
Ugreen USB Type C Hub with HDMI and RJ45 (GN30E clone)

The only issue I have is, that when I put tablet to sleep connected to the HUB and then disconnect it, HDMI out is not working properly, when I connect the tablet back to the HUB. Easy fix is to disconnect HUB from PD charger, so it gets power from the tablet. It immediately fixes the HDMI output and I can connect the charger back. It’s definitely minor issue, I can live with…

I just received original Fujitsu Lifebook stylus, which is rebranded Wacom UP-815E. Same as UP-817E recommended above, it has two buttons and works pretty well, so I can certainly recommend it.

I bought it in original packing from Ebuy for 15 bucks here, but you can get one even cheaper from China if you don’t mind a device with unclear origin without original packing. I have seen them as low as six bucks…

I’m planning to hook the CM+ I’m getting to a 2160p display, and after a fair amount of research, this is about the only display adapter I could find that is reported to reliably output 2160p @ 60hz

Could you share your experience with us?

From what I have found, there are two main questions that needs answer before we can reliably say, whether CM+ can output 4k 60Hz:

1. What is the specification of DP alt mode of CM+? Mainly, whether it supports DP 1.4 over two DP lanes or at least over four DP lanes or whether it’s limited to DP 1.2.
2. Is there any USB-C to HDMI adapter with HDMI 2.0 output spec?

Considering the fact, that I have yet to see USB-C hub with better HDMI output then 1.4, I really doubt there are source devices supporting DP 1.4 together with USB 3.1 (even though it is theoretically possible). All of those hubs I have seen seems to use DP 1.2 which they convert to HDMI 1.4 => 4k 30Hz

So I would say, that hubs are out of the game and then what remains is to find good USB-C to HDMI adapter, which has HDMI 2.0 output. Such adapter can completely ignore USB bus and use four DP lanes over USB-C cable, so it can theoretically output 4k 60Hz even with HDR.

I am also new owner of CM+, and my USB-C accessories are on the way, so I have no experience what-so-ever. I just read a lot before I ordered, as it seems like USB-C is complete mess so far. There are so many poorly manufactured devices and so many specifications, that it is extremely easy to buy wrong devices even when you educate yourself first. For ordinary user, it is really nightmare these days…
