    • Incredible upgrade from the HD60, easy to set up and worked perfectly to stream Switch 2 to Discord
Style: 4K X
This is an absolutely amazing upgrade from the HD60 that’s so much easier to set up! I can’t even remember the convoluted process I would go through to stream Animal Crossing off my Switch a few years ago, but it was cumbersome enough I never bothered with it again. Getting this going with my Switch 2 took less than 10 minutes and was a direct hookup. The quality was perfect for streaming Pokemon Pokopia and Legends ZA to friends on Discord. One thing to note there though is currently Discord lacks a native way to flip the webcam image, so it’ll be backward to you although it’s fine to viewers. If you go through OBS Studio (which is free and open source!), that does have a transform horizontal option to fix it. Even though there are some workarounds for the less expensive models, I’m really happy I went for the Elgato 4K X. It worked perfectly with crisp video and audio, and no frustrating troubleshooting needed. Depending on if/how you’re doing voice you may need to adjust your audio setup, but overall this makes streaming really simple. ... show more

    • Very nice
Style: 4K X
I’ve been using this capture card with my gaming setup and have been very impressed. Setup was straightforward, and it worked with my PC and console without any issues. Video quality is crisp, passthrough performance is smooth, and the low latency makes gameplay feel natural while recording or streaming. The unit itself is compact, well-built, and doesn’t take up much desk space. I’ve used it for both gameplay recording and live streaming, and it has performed reliably every time. If you’re looking for a high-quality capture card that’s easy to use and delivers excellent performance, this is a great choice. ... show more

    • This capture card is a absolute BEAST
Style: 4K S
⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars – The Elgato 4K S is an ABSOLUTE BEAST for Streaming and Recording 🔥🎮 If you’re serious about content creation or streaming, the Elgato 4K S is the real deal. This thing captures buttery smooth 4K footage with zero lag, zero hassle, and the quality is just insane. My gameplay looks so clean it almost doesn’t feel real — crisp colors, sharp movement, and no dropped frames at all. Setup took literally minutes. Plug it in, install the software, and BOOM — perfect capture instantly. Works flawlessly with my PC and my console, and it handles fast-paced games (Warzone, Fortnite, Apex, whatever) like a champ. What surprised me most is how reliable it is — no overheating, no glitching, no weird issues. Just pure, stable, high-quality recording every single time. If you’re trying to level up your YouTube, TikTok, or Twitch content, this is one of the best upgrades you can make. Elgato knocked it out of the park with this one. Worth every penny. ... show more

    • Elgato 4KS
Style: 4K S
Review Image by Angel
Review Image by Angel
The Elgato 4K S runs well and compatible to many consoles and Pc builds. The capture card will read Switch 2 devices. It may work on 4K resolution and on 120hz (120fps) refresh rate on the switch 2. The refresh rate on the switch 2 settings may need to be off if your screen freezes or goes black. Many monitors may not be compatible, but there is software resolution settings to adjust to preferences. Not all monitors can handle 120hz. A console and monitor of similar refresh rate is a simple plug and play. The connectivity is simple and software is on the company’s website. It’ll run in 4K and has a steady run time. ... show more

    • Absolute must for capturing Switch 2 gaming footage
Style: 4K S
If you’re looking for stunning video capture of game footage for YouTube with no hassles, this is it. Works perfectly with my Switch 1 and Switch 2, among other consoles. This did cause some havoc with my ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, but I blame that on the AMD graphics driver rather than the capture card.

    • Cool device
Style: 4K X
I am a n00b with these things so it took a little figuring out to get it down for all the things I wanted to use it for, but works well. If you’re using it with a Sony PlayStation to live stream game footage: don’t forget to turn “Enable HDCP” off.
