Selected User Reviews For GENKI ShadowCast - Easily Connect and Play Game Consoles on the Laptop, Smallest Capture Card with Great Performance

There is no need to use a USB C port! I consider this to be one of the best purchases I've made in this past I can stream on my discord servers very quickly, as the feed works perfectly with my gaming laptop
5/5

The feed is 1 to 1 with zero latency. I substituted an ANKER USB C to 3. 0 in place of the included wire. I have a USB 0 cable and it works perfectly.

Genki is the name of simplicity
5/5

In the past, I've used Elgato Capture cards, but the software (despite being feature-rich) tends to consume a lot of system resources with better options like OBS, it seems excessive. Genki Shadowcast offers a DEAD SIMPLE and brilliant solution. One option that they do not advertise but I find to be a no-brainer for me is VOLUME. I paid $50 to use my laptop as a second monitor. Please say yes to the request. The PS4 is advertised as being compatible with Nintendo Switch (which it is), but I needed a second monitor for my laptop, so I bought this one instead. The straight-forward design of the product allows it to accomplish what it doesn't set out to do. It does so thanks to the fact that it does achieve its intended purpose. In his book, Genki mentions that adding features can have an adverse impact. The best ever.

I couldn't get it to work on Neither my Macbook Pro (not M1) nor my MacBook Air worked with this program

A few different switches, docks, cables, and docking stations were tried. A ticket has also been submitted with the vendor several days ago, but I have not yet In the planning stages of.

You're doing a great job! It is not without problems, however! It's great to have this Capture card! We won't be having a Surface Pro 4 delay! Alternative Capture cards aren't just for Switch! This one is pretty good too! In addition to Xbox, it can also be used for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and other gaming consoles
4/5

However, if you have a PC with low specs for live streaming ((like myself with the Surface 4)) it's not ideal. The audio seems to be broken on the PS3 version as well? Upon starting Kingdom Hearts - the audio glitches, I begin testing other games and find that it is an issue with physical versions! But you can play digital games as well. While it is a good product overall, there are some things that need to be improved. PS3 in particular is a great gaming system! The curtain/next generation game consoles are the only devices I recommend using this for.

I absolutely love it! This is by far the most amazing capture card I have used
5/5

The device was originally intended to be used with my PS4, but would not directly fit through the HDMI port. Yet, I managed to come up with a workaround. I love the picture quality and I love how little space is taken up by the device! Only thing is it does not include a USB C to USB adapter, but that is no big deal!.

Worked on Windows but not on This does not work in any way with Mac, specifically when They have an app that I downloaded
3/5

After following tutorials, I was able to complete the task. The OBS app that I used with other devices worked fine for me. The problem has been with me for three days now, and everything I've tried has not worked. My stupid mistake of tossing out the box has caused me so much trouble that I've never experienced this before. Invest $50 in something else. I would not recommend it. The Reddit troubleshooting guides and comments posted there may be helpful before you buy since it appears this is not working with the Windows 10 update.

The price is good, but the quality is not excellent
4/5

Although it's not as useful as I would like, I'll keep it. Honestly, it works fairly well, but it does have a slight lag. Playing non-action games is perfect, but if lag will have a major impact on gameplay, then this isn't Regardless, this is one of the best options for the money. In my opinion, the video quality on my MacBook Pro is excellent. It honestly looks more like a 480p upscale than a HD The genki travel dock can be used with it.

I'd rather spend a few hundred on an Elgato than a few hundred
5/5

I really like this cap card. It looks like there is almost no delay in the input, and the frames look smooth and HD. If you're looking to replace Elgato's cheapest cards with a cheaper alternative, this is a definite buy.
