Quick thing, consider getting a Thunderbolt 3 hub, like this one, for example. These little devices allow you to get the most out of your MacBook's Thunderbolt ports buy expanding them to several supported ports, whilst still including at least one full-bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 port. this way, instead of having to get specific USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 compatible wires or adapters, you could just natively connect whatever wires you have to a hub. There's plenty of options for your to choose from, some of which focus on multi-screen output, some of which focus on data transfer, and some that feature a general-user port selection.

> Do you just play on your MacBook sometimes? [...] What games do you mainly play on MacBook with your wheel?

Personally, I pretty much only play PC exclusives on my Mac. I do play Euro Truck Simulator 2 on my MacBook, but unfortunately, The Thrustmaster T80 and T300 wheels I have aren't compatible with macOS or Linux, so I just use a PS3 controller.

However, I can confirm that the G29 [is compatible with macOS and ETS2](https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/driving/driving-force-racing-wheel.html#product-tech-specs, along with other titles on Mac.

> Do you find it gets too hot?

It used to, but not anymore.

This may be a bit more advanced, but you can manage your system's thermal performance. Step one would be to get a fan controller app, such at TG Pro, which is what I use. The main issue with thermal performance with Macs is that Apple tries to keep the fan speed as low as possible, to keep the system as quiet as possible... even to a fault. A fan controller app will let you set your notebook's fan speeds with your own custom settings, so whilst it may definitely get louder, you won't have to worry about it burning from the inside out, or at least not worry about thermal throttling.

Step 2, if you so dare, would be to replace the thermal paste in your MacBook. Apple's stock thermal paste is relatively weak at transferring heat (as a trade off for lasting longer), so you may want to consider replacing it with aftermarket, high-quality paste, such as Artic MX-4. High-quality doesn't mean expensive in this case, as a tube of good paste can have at least 10 uses' worth for 3euro - 10euro.

However, keep in mind that taking apart a 2013 and up MacBook isn't easy, and it can technically void your Apple warranty. But if you do decide to undergo the task, it'll unlock your system's full potential. I've done both of these, and now my system never goes above 90°C under full-load.

> Unrelated side note: The buyers guide and support you provide in this community is outstanding and I'd love to support you by purchasing on Amazon through your affiliate link, if that's okay?

Oh, we don't use affiliate links. All of the Buyer's Guide links are standard URLs, the same as anyone else would get. All of the work I put into the subreddit is unpaid.

I've thought about requesting affiliate links a few times so I could fund community events, but I worry about the conflict of interest, especially for when we get new moderators. I really appreciate the thought, though!

I'd definitely recommend a port hub since Apple loves taking ports away. This one by Hyper Drive had a good selection of ports: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUAEI7J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TtmMDb7CEV2FW

Also, you should know that you can't replace anything inside a 2019 MacBook Air. Storage, Ram, battery, screen, nothing. So if anything breaks or needs to be upgraded, you're gonna have to go get it fixed every time.

I went the opposite direction. I chose Mac, and my work gave me a 15" pro with 4 ports, and this dual usb hub. So far, it has been a pretty smooth experience. I have (almost) fully gotten used to the keyboard, and the trackpad experience makes me wish KDE had such an experience oob. Being able to triple finger swipe across different workspaces is godsend. The whole os feels like Elementary OS in how restrictive it is (ironic). Simple things like setting up a custom shortcut require tedious workarounds, but with all that said, it is still at least a 100 times better than Windows (with Linux being 500 times better). You literally can't pay me to use Windows.

I am using a HyperDrive: Amazon, and have no problems doing two 1080p screens with an HDMI-HDMI and Type C-HDMI cable plugged into the top/back type C Port. This leaves another type C Port for charging and adds two USB ports and a card reader. Bit of an eyesore but I only use it at the desk anyways.

hyperdrive USB C hub Pro

Late reply but I just went through this (with a non touchbar model, so I was even more limited).

You have 4 ports on your computer, so get two of these:

If you would still like a dock, get the HyperDrive 7 port dock with the dual plug:

If you get the dock, you can still get two of the above cables or alternatively just get one and the use a regular HDMI for the other. I would recommend this because it’s cheaper and it frees up one more USB C port for whatever you need it for. You’re only going to be using HDMI out for a display.

Basically, each port on the machine only supports one separate display out unless you get an actual TB3 dock (expensive).
