How many external displays does my MacBook Pro support (M3/M4/M5 and Pro/Max variants)?

Native display support differs per MacBook Pro chip and depends on resolution and refresh rate. The overview below is based on Apple’s official support documentation.

Note: all configurations below are native. For MacBook Pro with M3/M4/M5 you do not need DisplayLink to use multiple external displays.

MacBook Pro with M5 chip

  • Maximum 2 external displays at the same time.
  • Examples:
    • 2× 6K@60Hz via Thunderbolt
    • 2× 4K@144Hz via Thunderbolt or HDMI
    • 1× 8K@60Hz or 1× 4K@240Hz

MacBook Pro with M4 or M4 Pro chip

  • Maximum 2 external displays at the same time.
  • Examples:
    • 2× 6K@60Hz via Thunderbolt
    • 1× 6K@60Hz via Thunderbolt + 1× 4K@144Hz via HDMI
    • 1× 8K@60Hz or 1× 4K@240Hz

How do you connect external monitors natively to MacBook Pro (M3/M4/M5)?

MacBook Pro models with M3, M4, and M5 support multiple external displays directly via Thunderbolt (USB-C) and HDMI. You do not need DisplayLink for this.

  • Use Thunderbolt (USB-C) for high resolutions such as 6K@60Hz.
  • Use HDMI as an extra output (maximum refresh rate varies per chip).
  • MacBook Pro with M3 (base): 2 displays are only possible with the lid closed (clamshell) and an external mouse/keyboard.
  • A hub or daisy-chain can be convenient, but does not increase the maximum number of displays.

Which docking station do you need?

Which dock you need depends on your MacBook model and your goal:

  • Do you have a MacBook Air/Pro with M1 or M2 (base) and want more than 1 external display?
    Then you need a docking station with DisplayLink.
  • Do you have a MacBook Pro with M3 Pro/Max, M4 (Pro/Max) or M5?
    Then you can connect multiple displays natively and use a dock mainly for extra ports and convenience.

The Casecentive 13-in-1 USB-C DisplayLink Docking Station is ideal if you:

  • want one cable for power, network, and accessories
  • and (with M1/M2 base) need multiple external displays

How do you connect the Casecentive 13-in-1 DisplayLink docking station?

  1. Connect the dock to your MacBook
    Plug the docking station into a USB-C/Thunderbolt port using the supplied cable.
  2. Connect your monitors
    Use HDMI and/or DisplayPort on the docking station.
  3. Install the DisplayLink driver
    Download the official driver: DisplayLink driver for macOS .
  4. Restart your MacBook
    After restarting, the additional displays will be recognized as separate desktops.
  5. Arrange your displays
    Go to  System SettingsDisplays and choose “Extend”.

How many displays does the Casecentive 13-in-1 docking station support?

  • 1× HDMI 8K@30Hz (DP Alt Mode)
  • 1× HDMI 4K@60Hz (DisplayLink)
  • 1× DisplayPort 4K@60Hz (DisplayLink)

This allows you, depending on your Mac model and configuration, to use up to three external displays.

Need to replace the gas lift/gas spring on your office chair or gaming chair? Here's how to do it step by step.


Replace your office chair gas lift? Fix a chair that sinks down easily

Does your office chair or gaming chair slowly sink down without using the lever? Then chances are your gas lift (gas spring) is worn out or defective. This is one of the most common causes of a chair that keeps sinking and a height adjustment that no longer works.

The good news: in most cases you don’t need to buy a new chair. In this guide we explain how to replace the gas lift of your office chair or gaming chair yourself, which gas spring you need, and what to pay attention to during installation and safety.


How to recognize a faulty gas lift (gas spring)?

You usually notice a defective gas lift immediately while sitting. Common signs are:

  • Your office chair sinks down by itself (slowly or suddenly)
  • The chair does not stay at the correct height
  • You have to raise the chair again and again
  • The height adjustment feels unstable or jerky

Why replacing a gas lift / gas spring is important

A faulty gas spring directly affects your sitting comfort, posture and safety. When your chair keeps sinking, you often sit incorrectly without noticing, which can cause physical complaints.

By replacing the gas lift:

  • you restore the correct seat height and ergonomics
  • you prevent back, neck and shoulder pain
  • you extend the lifespan of your office chair or gaming chair
  • you save money compared to buying a new chair

Ranqer Gas Lift / Gas Spring Class 4 – the best replacement for your office chair

The Ranqer Gas Lift Class 4 for office & gaming chairs (22–28 cm) is a high-quality replacement gas spring designed for long-term and safe use. Ideal if your office chair or gaming chair keeps sinking down and you want to restore the height adjustment.

  • Class 4 quality with high load capacity
  • Smooth and stable height adjustment
  • Long lifespan and extra safety
  • Suitable for many office chairs and gaming chairs

A practical solution for working from home, gaming setups and professional workplaces.


Replacing the gas lift: how it works (office chair & gaming chair)

Replacing a gas lift is usually simple and can often be done within a few minutes. Work carefully, make sure the chair is stable and use the right tools to avoid damage.

Step-by-step guide: replacing an office chair gas lift / gas spring

  1. Step 1 – Gather the necessary tools
    Prepare a rubber mallet, a flathead or Phillips screwdriver and, if needed, some WD-40 or lubricant. These tools help loosen stuck parts and remove the gas lift safely without damaging the chair. Make sure you work on a stable surface.
  2. Step 2 – Remove the base from the gas lift
    Turn the chair upside down so the bottom is visible. Use the rubber mallet to gently and evenly tap the bottom of the chair base or the gas lift. Slowly pull the base off the gas lift. Repeat if necessary until the base comes loose.
  3. Step 3 – Remove the gas spring from the seat
    Keep the chair upside down so the underside is accessible. Tap carefully around the gas lift at the bottom of the seat using the rubber mallet. Slowly and carefully pull the old gas lift out of the seat. Repeat if needed until it is fully removed.
  4. Step 4 – Clean and inspect the parts
    Clean the chair base, seat and mounting points with water or soapy water to remove dust, dirt and grease. Dry all parts thoroughly before continuing. This ensures the new gas lift fits properly and prevents noise or looseness.
  5. Step 5 – Install the new gas lift and reassemble the chair
    Insert the new gas spring carefully into the chair base and make sure it is firmly seated. Then place the seat straight down onto the gas lift and press everything firmly into place. Test the chair for stability and check that the height adjustment works smoothly again.

For additional instructions, you can also consult the official instruction manual.

Instruction video: replacing a gas lift / gas spring

In this video you can see exactly how to replace a gas lift step by step:

How to remove a gas spring from a gaming chair / office chair – Ranqer tutorial


Final check and useful tips

After installation, check that the chair moves smoothly up and down and stays at the correct height. If everything is installed correctly, the height adjustment should work immediately.

  • Tip: Always use a rubber mallet to avoid damaging the parts.
  • If the gas lift is difficult to remove, apply a small amount of WD-40 and try again with controlled taps.
  • Always test the stability of the chair before using it for long periods of sitting or gaming.

Do you have questions about which gas lift is suitable for your office chair or gaming chair? Feel free to contact our support team.


FAQ: frequently asked questions about replacing a gas lift / gas spring

Why does my office chair keep sinking down?

In most cases the gas lift is worn out or leaking pressure, which prevents the chair from holding its height. Replacing the gas spring restores proper height adjustment.

Is replacing a gas lift difficult?

Usually not. With a rubber mallet and a stable workspace, you can remove and replace the gas lift of many office chairs and gaming chairs yourself. Follow the step-by-step guide and work carefully.

Which gas lift do I need for my office chair?

Pay attention to the length/stroke (for example 22–28 cm), the class (for example Class 4) and whether the gas lift fits your chair model. A Class 4 gas lift is often a strong choice for durability and safety.

Can I use WD-40 to loosen a stuck gas spring?

Yes, a small amount of WD-40 or lubricant can help loosen tight mounting points. Use it sparingly and let it soak in briefly before continuing.

Anschließen mehrerer Monitore an das Macbook Pro / Air M1 / M2

MacBook M1 M2 multi-monitor setup with Casecentive DisplayLink docking station

Contents

The introduction of Apple’s M1 and M2 chips brought major performance improvements, but also one well-known limitation: MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with M1 or M2 officially support only one external display. Fortunately, there is a professional solution that removes this limitation entirely.

Why does the MacBook Pro / Air with M1 / M2 chip only support one external display?

Apple designed the base M1 and M2 chips with a single external display pipeline. Unlike older Intel-based MacBooks, the limitation is not caused by the USB-C ports themselves, but by the GPU architecture inside the chip. Only the M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2 Pro and M2 Max models support multiple displays natively.

This means users of MacBook Air M1/M2 and MacBook Pro 13-inch M1/M2 need an alternative solution to use multiple monitors.

How to connect two or three external displays to a MacBook M1 / M2

By using a docking station with DisplayLink technology, you can bypass the native display limitation. DisplayLink uses a virtual GPU to enable multiple extended displays over a single USB-C connection.

The Casecentive 13-in-1 USB-C DisplayLink Docking Station allows you to connect up to three external monitors to MacBook M1 and M2 models — fully extended, not mirrored.

How to connect the Casecentive DisplayLink docking station

Connecting the Casecentive dock is simple:

  • Connect the docking station to your MacBook using the included USB-C cable
  • Connect your monitors via HDMI and/or DisplayPort
  • Install the DisplayLink driver
  • Restart your MacBook

After installation, macOS will detect all connected monitors as independent external displays.

How many displays does the Casecentive 13-in-1 docking station support?

The Casecentive 13-in-1 USB-C DisplayLink Docking Station supports:

  • 1× HDMI 8K@30Hz (DP Alt Mode)
  • 1× HDMI 4K@60Hz (DisplayLink)
  • 1× DisplayPort 4K@60Hz (DisplayLink)

This allows up to three external displays simultaneously on MacBook M1 and M2 systems.

Want to learn more about docking stations and multi-monitor setups?

How does DisplayLink technology work?

DisplayLink works by compressing video data and transmitting it over USB-C. A dedicated driver on your MacBook decodes this data and renders it as additional displays.

This makes it possible to use multiple extended monitors even on systems that normally support only one external screen.

Download the official DisplayLink driver for macOS

What are the benefits of DisplayLink?

  • Enables multiple external displays on MacBook M1 and M2
  • Works with macOS, Windows, ChromeOS and Linux
  • Supports extended (not mirrored) desktops
  • Ideal for productivity, trading, editing and multitasking

How do you set up multiple external monitors on macOS?

Once the monitors are connected and the DisplayLink driver is installed:

  • Go to  System Settings
  • Open Displays
  • Choose Extend Display
  • Arrange the monitors to match your desk setup

Each display can be used independently for different applications and workflows.

Which docking station do you need for MacBook M1 / M2?

Not all docking stations support multiple displays on MacBook M1 and M2. You specifically need a dock with a built-in DisplayLink chipset.

The Casecentive 13-in-1 USB-C DisplayLink Docking Station is designed for professionals who need maximum screen real estate, fast networking, powerful charging and full connectivity — all through a single cable.

Installing a DisplayLink docking station

Do you want to use multiple external displays via a DisplayLink docking station? First, check your laptop’s manual to confirm that DisplayPort over USB-C is supported. If your laptop is compatible, installing your DisplayLink docking station is quick and easy.

Step 1. Prepare everything you need

Make sure everything is ready before you start, so you can get set up without interruptions:

  • Choose a workspace with enough room
  • Have your fully charged laptop ready
  • Set up your monitor(s)
  • Unbox the DisplayLink docking station
  • Make sure you have the correct HDMI or DisplayPort cables

Step 2. Download the DisplayLink software

Installing the correct software is required for DisplayLink docking stations. Always use the official drivers provided by Synaptics (DisplayLink).

Download DisplayLink for Apple (macOS)

Download the DisplayLink driver for Apple (macOS) here

Download DisplayLink for Windows

Download the DisplayLink driver for Windows here

ChromeOS

Using a Chromebook? You can skip this step. On ChromeOS, DisplayLink support is built in by default.

Step 3. Connect the dock to your laptop

DisplayLink docking stations connect via USB-A or USB-C.

  • Connect the docking station to a USB port on your laptop
  • If your laptop supports Power Delivery, it will start charging immediately

Step 4. Connect your monitor(s)

Step 4a. Connecting monitors on macOS

DisplayLink is the only technology that allows multiple external monitors to be used on MacBook models with M1 or M2 chips (depending on the docking station).

  1. Click  System Settings
  2. Go to Displays
  3. Set the desired resolution for each monitor
  4. Adjust the order of the displays using “Arrange”

Step 4b. Connecting monitors on Windows or ChromeOS

On Windows and ChromeOS, DisplayLink works immediately after installation.

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click System
  3. Open Display
  4. Set the resolution and screen layout

Step 5. Complete your setup

Once your laptop and monitors are working, you can connect all accessories:

  • Connect a mouse, keyboard or USB drive via USB-A or USB-C
  • Use the SD or microSD card reader for media
  • Connect to stable wired internet using the Ethernet port
  • Plug in wired headphones or a microphone via the 3.5 mm audio jack

RGB problems with your Ranqer gaming chair? Here's how to fix them quickly!


RGB issues with your Ranqer gaming chair? Here’s how to fix it quickly!

It may happen that you have fully assembled your Ranqer RGB gaming chair, but the RGB lighting does not turn on immediately. Don’t worry: in almost all cases, the chair is functioning correctly and you only need to check the connections and placement of the cables and power bank.

In this blog, we explain step by step what to check for both the Ranqer Halo RGB and the Ranqer Aura RGB.


RGB issues with Ranqer Halo

RGB lighting does not turn on after assembly

After assembling the Ranqer Halo RGB, there are cables coming from the seat and from the backrest that need to be connected. If the lighting does not turn on, it is important to carefully check these connections.

  • are the cables from the seat properly connected to the cables from the backrest
  • are all connectors fully and straight plugged in
  • are the cables not twisted or under tension

Take a moment to check the back of the backrest and firmly press the connections into place.

Check whether the cables are connected correctly

Sometimes the cables are connected, but not optimally placed. This can prevent the RGB lighting from receiving stable power.

  • make sure all connections are neat and straight
  • check that no cable is pinched between parts
  • press all connections firmly into place again

Power bank and placement for the Ranqer Halo

The RGB lighting of the Ranqer Halo works via a power bank. Always check:

  • whether the power bank is connected to the cable
  • whether the power bank is placed in the rear pocket of the chair
  • whether the power bank is switched on

Once everything is connected and placed correctly, the RGB lighting should work immediately.

Which cables does the Ranqer Halo RGB chair have

The Ranqer Halo RGB chair includes:

  • connection cables between the seat and the backrest (RGB connection)
  • a power cable connected to the power bank

All cables are part of the standard chair design and are pre-integrated.

Ranqer RGB Cables

RGB issues with Ranqer Aura

RGB lighting does not work

With the Ranqer Aura RGB, the lighting usually does not turn on when a connection needs to be checked. Carefully go through the connections.

  • check whether all RGB connections are firmly secured
  • check whether the cables are placed correctly and without tension
  • check whether the power supply is connected correctly

A careful recheck is often enough to activate the lighting.

Which cables does the Ranqer Aura RGB chair have

The Ranqer Aura RGB chair is equipped with:

  • connection cables between the seat and the backrest (RGB connection)
  • a power cable connected to the power bank

Make sure all connections are securely fastened before contacting support.

Ranqer RGB Cables

Final check and tip

If all cables are firmly and correctly connected, the connections are properly placed, and the power bank is correctly connected and switched on, the RGB lighting should work immediately.

Tip: Is the lighting still not working? Take a clear photo of the back of the backrest (where the cables are located). This allows support to quickly review and assist you.

How to remove greasy fingerprints from your car display – and why WHOOSH! is the only right choice

Car display cleaning

Modern cars are full of digital displays: infotainment, navigation, and climate control – all via touchscreen. Convenient, but in no time they’re covered with fingerprints and dust. Discover why WHOOSH! is the solution for a streak-free clean car display – and why other brands simply can’t compete.


Table of Contents


Why you shouldn’t use regular cleaning products

Many people just grab some glass cleaner or kitchen paper. Mistake! Ordinary cleaners contain alcohol, ammonia, and harsh chemicals that damage the delicate coating of your display. This causes the screen to lose its shine, develop spots, or become less responsive to touch.

  • ❌ Alcohol or ammonia damages the protective layer
  • ❌ Residues attract dust
  • ❌ Streaks and dull spots are hard to remove

What you need is a safe, residue-free, and alcohol-free cleaner developed specifically for electronics – like WHOOSH!.

The secret of Apple – WHOOSH! explained

Did you know that Apple uses WHOOSH! in its stores worldwide? Their screens must be spotless – without smudges or damage. The WHOOSH! formula is 100% free from alcohol, ammonia, dyes, and fragrances, yet gives your screen a shine like it’s fresh from the factory.

Thanks to its antistatic and streak-free formula, your screen stays clean longer and never feels greasy. Ideal for car displays, tablets, smartphones, and laptops.

How to clean your car display – explained by car brand

Each car brand uses different coatings and finishes for their screens. That’s why each one requires a specific cleaning method. Here’s how to safely clean your car display with WHOOSH! – without scratches, streaks, or damage.


How to clean your Tesla display

Tesla screens are large, crystal clear, and prone to fingerprints. Use WHOOSH! with a soft microfiber cloth for a spotless result.

  • Turn off the display or activate “Screen Clean Mode.”
  • Spray WHOOSH! onto the cloth, not directly on the screen.
  • Wipe gently in smooth motions – without pressure.
  • Polish with a dry corner of the cloth for extra shine.

Tesla’s screen coating is sensitive to alcohol and ammonia. WHOOSH! is completely alcohol-free and specially designed for delicate surfaces.


How to clean your BMW display

BMW screens with a high-gloss finish quickly attract dust and fingerprints. Clean them easily with WHOOSH! for a streak-free result.

  • Turn off the engine so the screen stays cool.
  • Apply WHOOSH! to the cloth, not directly on the screen.
  • Wipe in circular motions and polish afterward.

Thanks to WHOOSH!’s antistatic formula, your screen stays cleaner and dust-free for longer.


How to clean your Mercedes-Benz display

Mercedes screens are curved and have sensitive coatings. Always use WHOOSH! for safe, residue-free cleaning.

  • Apply the product to the cloth, not the screen.
  • Wipe from the inside out to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Let the screen dry briefly for a perfect shine.

Unlike other cleaners, WHOOSH! leaves no greasy film and is 100% safe for coatings.


How to clean your Volkswagen display

Volkswagen screens have a smooth top layer that easily shows smudges. WHOOSH! removes grease and dust without streaks or gloss enhancers.

  • Use light pressure for an even result.
  • Avoid products containing alcohol or silicone.
  • Polish with a dry cloth for a natural shine.

With WHOOSH!, your screen keeps its original look – clear, clean, and professional.


How to clean your Audi display

Audi screens combine glass with haptic touch technology. WHOOSH! cleans thoroughly without affecting touch sensitivity.

  • Wipe in one direction (from left to right) for even cleaning.
  • Use only a small amount – a thin layer is enough.
  • Polish with a dry cloth for a streak-free finish.

Bluetens Duo Sport & Accessories: Pain Relief & Regeneration

Bluetens Duo Sport & Accessories: The Perfect Combination for Pain Relief and Fast Recovery

SB Supply Banner

Whether after a marathon, during daily training, or dealing with tension from office work – muscle pain and fatigue are part of life for many. But there’s a smart, drug-free solution: the Bluetens Duo Sport. This portable TENS and EMS device not only helps relieve pain but also actively supports muscle recovery – especially when combined with the right accessories.

Your Personal Recovery Assistant: The Bluetens Duo Sport

The Bluetens Duo Sport is more than just a simple pain relief device. It combines TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) in a sleek, user-friendly design. With just a few steps, you can apply it to different body areas to target tension, stiffness, or overuse. Whether you’re training, working from home, or traveling – this device fits in any bag and provides professional-level support wherever you need it.

Why the Right Electrodes Make All the Difference

The effectiveness of your Bluetens Duo Sport device depends heavily on the quality and fit of the electrodes. Smooth adhesion, even current distribution, and skin-friendliness are key – and this is where official Bluetens accessories truly excel.

Small Electrodes for Precise Treatment

For sensitive or smaller body areas such as the neck, wrists, or ankles, the Bluetens Small Electrodes (12 pieces) are ideal. These 5x5 cm pads are gentle on the skin and allow for precise stimulation. Thanks to their easy application and pleasant effect, they’re perfect for anyone suffering from localized muscle tension. The electrodes can be used up to 20–30 times – replace them once they lose their adhesive strength.

Larger Area, Stronger Effect: M Electrodes

If you want to treat larger muscle groups such as thighs, back, or shoulders, the Bluetens Pack of Electrodes M is the better choice. The larger electrodes provide wider coverage and deeper penetration of electrical impulses – perfect after intense workouts or to stimulate blood circulation.

Special Electrodes for Active Lifestyles

Bluetens takes it a step further and offers specially shaped electrodes for different needs – ideal for athletes, surfers, or fitness enthusiasts.

ABS Electrodes: For Defined Abs

If you want to enhance your core training, try the Bluetens ABS Electrodes set. The specially shaped pads fit perfectly on the abdomen and target the muscles effectively – a great complement to traditional training or for activating tired muscles after competition.

Surf Electrodes: For Shoulders and Arms

Outdoor athletes also benefit: the Bluetens Surf Electrodes are specially designed for the shoulder, arm, and upper body areas. Ideal for surfers, climbers, or rowers who often experience strain in these zones. The ergonomic shape ensures a secure fit – even during movement.

Even More Power with the Bluetens Power Pack

To make your device even more efficient, there’s the Bluetens Power Pack. This upgrade package includes everything you need to intensify your therapy: extra electrodes, convenient storage, and extended features. Whether as a starter kit or an expansion – the Power Pack makes your Bluetens Duo Sport even more versatile.

Conclusion: Everything You Need for Your Well-being – in One Line

The Bluetens Duo Sport is the core of an intelligent recovery system. Combined with the Small Electrodes, the M Electrodes, the ABS Electrodes, the Surf Electrodes, and the Power Pack, it becomes the complete solution for pain relief, recovery, and muscle training.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or office worker with back pain – with Bluetens, you have a reliable, drug-free tool at your side. Order your set now and start your personal recovery journey!
