It's cheap yet works its magic
I use this to interface my Macbook Pro 2014 into my PC for capture on OBS for my stream. It sometimes is tempermental and buggy, but it does the plug n' play job a grand majority of the time. It takes some time to figure out the importing audio and configuration into OBS but it's not super complicated. It becomes plug and play once everything's all set up. It seems to be able to record up to 60fps and the quality of the input audio from my Macbook is crystal clear so there's no quality loss. It doesn't run hot or anything so overall this is slam dunk

Affordable Capture Card for Aspiring Gamers
If you're looking to record your console gameplay without spending a fortune, this capture card is a solid choice. It offers 4K 60FPS input and 1080P output, providing clear and smooth recordings.AMAZONI recently started Recording my PS5 sessions and didn't want to invest in high-end equipment right away. This capture card was easy to set up and worked seamlessly with my setup. The video quality is impressive, and it handles fast-paced games without lag.Save your money on expensive alternatives; this capture card has everything you need to kickstart your gaming journey.

Device is awesome, directions are not
I actually really love this capture card! Video quality is great, heat stays low, no lag, connections good. The capture card itself works great for what it is. However, I’m taking away a star because the DIRECTIONS are misleading. When using OBS, the directions say to click the +button under sources and to select USB3.0 device from the drop down menu.. there IS no option to select USB3.0 for everyone. If it does not pop up for you as an existing device, then you must CREATE a new source, name that source, and THEN you are able to select USB3.0 from a drop down menu. I run MacOS but I am seeing many PC users with this same problem. It took me forever to figure this out, just create a new source of its not coming up for you! Maybe they need to look into this and update their directions!One more thing.. do not use any audio from the capture card device, set up your audio peripherals from your OBS device. The capture card audio sucks!Still happy with the device and would buy another one.

No second monitor? No problem!
As someone who's used capture cards in the past, I can safely say that this one is WAY better than either of the Elgato cards I've had before. It's easy to set up, no hassle, somehow even LESS lag than the competition, and although the other reviews are right in that it isn't 4K, I still think it's a pretty clear image, especially for the price.But, given that this IS a budget capture card, I'm willing to bet that a lot of the other buyers may not have the budget for two monitors (or maybe their TV is in another room that they can't move their setup to). Either way, I just want these consumers to know that you do NOT need a second monitor to be able to play/record your video game footage. For me, what I did was, I plugged the USB into its' usual spot (this is required to power the capture card), then I set the HDMI input coming in from my Nintendo Switch, and the HDMI output went out to my PC tower. After that, I downloaded a program called VideoGameCapture by ImmerNochNoah on Itch.io (it's free, so don't worry about the price). Then I just selected the capture card in the program, and bada bing bada boom, your game footage shows up there, with only minimal lag! From there, you can make VideoGameCapture a Window source in OBS and record/stream from there as usual.Cannot recommend this enough, especially for low budget/beginner content creators looking to broaden their horizons into gaming!

Works great
Works great. FYI if on the Nintendo switch I had to push it down on the dock to work (apply a little pressure) 5/5

It works for my needs (amateur discord streaming)
I used this with my laptop (Legion 5 Pro RTX 3060, which is a Windows 11 laptop) and struggled quite a bit to get it to work well. I am new to this and just wanted to stream my Nintendo Switch gameplay on Discord.The capture card manual comes with a diagram (also there's multiple diagrams on the product page). The instructions were very minimal. Physical installation was easy.My biggest issue was dealing with the sound from the capture card outputting audio on my Discord microphone, which I ended up resolving through my system settings and Discord settings. Honestly I was about to return this thinking it was defective or that I had to have a second monitor to stream without audio issues. Even google couldn't help.After finally getting it to work, it was what I wanted. Just didn't like struggling to troubleshoot the issues.[Review end]-----[Instructions for those who might need it:]Here's what I ended up doing from beginning of installation to end for my laptop specifically and without anything extra besides just the capture card, Switch, and laptop. Everyone might use this differently and depending on your PC the settings might be different, but maybe it will help someone who also wanted to use it the way I did:- Install OBS.1. After installation, open the program and make a new source under the Sources tab by pressing the "+" sign.2. Press "Video Capture Device" and name it however you want (I named it Switch), then press OK.2. Set Device: USB3.0 Video3. Audio Output Mode: Capture Mode Only4. Turn on "Use custom audio device"5. Audio Device: Digital Audio Interface (USB 3.0 Audio)6. Close source tab.- In the OBS settings, go to Audio.7. Under Audio, disable all Global Audio Settings but leave Mic/Auxiliary Audio alone.8. Set Mic/Auxiliary Audio: Digital Audio Interface (USB 3.0 Audio)9. Press Apply, then OK.Under the Audio tab (not settings):10. Under the Audio tab (next to Sources), right click Mic/Auxiliary Audio then press Advanced Audio Properties.11. Set the Audio Monitoring for Mic/Aux to "Monitor Only (Mute Output)"- Go to PC settings > System > Sound.12. Input > set to Laptop Microphone13. All Sound Devices > Input Devices > Digital Audio Interface. Make sure it is NOT set to default.14. All Sound Devices > Input Devices > Laptop Microphone. Make sure it IS set to default.- Go to Discord.15. If the application detects the new device (capture card) and asks if you want to switch to a new audio device, hit "don't switch"16. User Settings > Voice & Video > Input > Laptop Microphone.17. User Settings > Voice & Video > Output > Laptop Speakers.Device should be ready for streaming now with no audio issues. Also to stream games on full screen on Discord, simply right click on the screen in OBS > open "Windowed Projector (Preview)." Then go to Discord, hit screenshare, and pick that option in the Applications tab. It should show only the game for the audience. Then on your end, you can right click on the OBS screen > open "Fullscreen Projector (Preview)" and you can view the game just fine on a full screen for yourself.To check if your mic on Discord is working correctly, mute OBS and turn off screen share to see if your icon in a Discord call is turning green without you saying anything. If it is turning green it means that sound is coming through your microphone for other people in the call due to the capture card.How I fixed that was going to my PC settings > System > Sound > All Sound Devices > Digital Audio Interface. I turned that off and then back on. Then I went back to Discord to see if the prompt window to change audio devices comes up, then I pressed "don't switch" when it did. I had no more issues after that and was able to stream on Discord just fine. I typed all this out because it took me several hours to figure out how to get rid of the mic audio issue so I wanted to put this out there in case it helped someone else too.
