Works great in USB3.0 mode

When I first received the box I was sad because I heard that the cable can be of questionable quality as it is not always in USB3 mode lets you connect. If you don't get USB3, it defaults to USB2 and uses MJPEG as the compression, which is very bad (not their fault, it's JPEG). However, the brightness seems to be overloaded in USB2 mode, as I've had a lot of crashes in Super Mario Maker 2 when the game has a lot of water or bright spots, causing crashes. I haven't found a tool that allows you to control the image that goes into the chip and goes to OBS. However, this does not affect the transmission to the monitor. This can also be an issue with OBS because. If you can use USB3 where you can use YUV2, the switch picture is perfect and colorful. Disturbances in the same places do not occur. If you're using the included cable (until you find something better) and need to use a USB-C to USB-A adapter, make sure the notches match, otherwise it defaults to USB2. If you use this device to capture videos from games, be aware that there will be some lag, at least on OBS. I compared the OBS recording and the Transit and there was definitely a delay between button presses when recording. However, pass-through is ideal (1080p60, 4k@60 cannot be tested). All in all, this is a great box for your Switch. I want to test the PS4 and see how well it performs so I'll report back once I've tested it for an update. Given 4 stars because of cable problems, otherwise everything is fine.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Long time
