What a Deal!
I got this item at a price of 75.99 which was a steal. I use this for my switch, switch 2, and ps3 and they all look great. No stutters or glitches like if you were to buy the 20$. It works perfectly with OBS and I haven't had any problems with it. If you could get it at a price similar to mine, its a no brainer!

works fine with Xbox Series S, but not PS3.
My only reason for me giving this 4 stars, is that this doesn't remove or bypass, HDCP for the PS3, you cannot record/stream directly from the Playstation 3 to this, you need a converter. Otherwise its fine at 1080 60fps (Tested with Xbox Series S and Fable 2)

Really Good Product
I purchased both the XR-1 Lite and the XR-1 Pro. I've had no problems with either product, but it should be known that there is HDCP protection for some things on both devices - namely, connecting a cellphone or a PS4 to it - which require going to the EVGA website in order to download an official software patch to turn off HDCP on the devices. Additionally, the PS4 has on board HDCP protection enabled by default, requiring you to go into the PS4's system settings in order to turn it off if you want to use it with a Capture Card in the first place.The video and audio quality is fairly great, but there are sometimes delays/de-syncs in audio capture -- however: this does not appear to be a fault of the capture card, as turning off the audio/video source in OBS can sometimes change the delay timing. Point being, there are some finicky things that can be observed with the capture card, but they do not currently appear to be issues with the device itself.The Pro version includes a headset port, and the dial changes the crossfade between game volume and headset volume. While useful for cheaper streaming setups where the user doesn't have a dedicated external microphone, it'll get less use if you utilize a dedicated USB microphone. So, your mileage with that port may vary depending on your setup; however, it is advertised as also being able to be used for in-game voice communication purposes. I have not tested that at this time, so cannot comment on that viability or any issues therein. Also consider that the PS4 and Xbox controllers both often have native headphone ports, already, which afford you the benefit of not having to be tethered to a device when playing; and similar freedom of movement when considering Bluetooth headset support. Simply put: you may already have other options/methods, for that feature, available to you.The biggest benefit, I would say, would be for those who have multiple consoles. Because the Capture Card takes an input and redirects it as a dual-output, you only really need to utilize one HDMI port for your monitor/TV, while swapping the devices' HDMI cables on the Capture Card as needed; essentially using it as a manual quasi-input-switcher without having to mess with cables behind the TV if it has a limited number of HDMI inputs, or if you have more consoles than TV inputs. Alternatively, because it is technically for use with something like OBS for streaming purposes, it can be used in-a-pinch with little more than a laptop and the OBS software as your video display, if you find yourself without a monitor/TV at that moment.

Excellent entry level option
Best bang for buck, no frills, 1080p video capture card. I use this more than my Elgato HD60S+. If you can get this on the cheap, do so. What's your excuse for not having a capture card when this exists?

Good buy. Recommended.
High quality and very simple to use.

Doesn't work no matter what I try - green/pink colorspace problem
I was looking for a simple HDMI capture card that'd work on a Linux host to capture HDMI. Unfortunately, the XR1 Pro doesn't do that - but not because of any specific Linux incompatibility. It just doesn't work, even on Windows, no matter what I try.Here's what I've tried:- Win10 via HDMI (Radeon 6900 XT) -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- Kubuntu via HDMI (Radeon 6900 XT) -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- Win10 via HDMI (Framework 16 iGPU + HDMI module) -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- Kubuntu via HDMI (Framework 16 iGPU + HDMI module) -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- WinXP via DVI-D (some old AMD chipset) -> DVI-D to HDMI Adapter -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- Win10 via DP (some ThinkCentre chipset, who knows, who cares) -> DP to HDMI Adapter -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- Raspberry Pi 3B+ via HDMI -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor- Nintendo Switch via HDMI -> XR1 Pro -> HDMI Monitor... and in EVERY SINGLE CASE, no matter which color space settings I use, no matter whether I'm running OBS on a Linux host or a Windows one, it gives me the green-pink color space bug and renders the capture unusable... DESPITE the fact that it passes through the video to the monitor correctly every time! So it's not an input bug, it's not a host OS bug, there's definitely something wrong happening between the capture hardware and OBS. This is my first HDMI capture card so I don't exactly have a spare to see if OBS is messing this up, but considering it has the same problem on Linux and Windows, I'm guessing it's not OBS's fault.This happens no matter which HDMI cables I use (I tried the included one, as well as 4 spares I had lying around). It happens if I re-plug the USB. It happens whether or not I have a passthrough monitor connected. The only thing I can try now is to keep digging through boxes finding devices that output HDMI output in a desperate attempt to find SOMETHING this thing can capture. I'd be surprised if anything worked.I've attached some screenshots of the output showing the problem (these were taken on Linux, but these results are exactly the same when booting into Win10 on the same host, OBS just exposes different settings that aren't relevant here). I've also attached a screenshot of the XR1 Pro firmware updater showing it's up to date (I reflashed anyways, didn't help). And finally, I've attached a screenshot of ffplay reporting that the XR1 Pro allegedly supports Y/CbCr 4:2:0 and YUYV 4:2:2, and OBS does recognize them, but alas, neither work. (The emulated color space options also don't fix it, either on Kubuntu or Win10.)Considering this was supposed to just a fun project that has now wasted an entire day of my time, I'm not inclined to waste more of it on an RMA. I have no clue if it's just a defective one-off or if I'm genuinely doing something wrong here. Based on my research, this has happened to a few other people online, EVGA support has not been able to figure out the problem, and RMAs did not help. So I'll most likely be returning it unless I can find literally any use for it, but right now, considering it has refused to correctly capture every device I've plugged into it so far, I'm not that hopeful.

Great capture card happily impressed.
The media could not be loaded. Excellent capture card. I use mine with OBS, been very happy with it. It does the job records well no problems 60 frames a second is more than enough for me not using for gaming, but more browser based demonstrations and teaching videos. Haven’t noticed any connectivity issues, lag or quality problems of the record recordings themselves.
