Might be the best capture card in this price range. Captures 1440p144fps with no problem (it can also capture 4k, but I don't have a 4k monitor so wasn't able to test that), was plug and play with obs. Like with some other capture cards that include headphone monitoring and a line in, obs doesn't automatically capture the audio, you have to add it as an additional source. But unlike other similar capture cards (looking at you, razer), the audio still sounds great even using this approach. The line in also solved a separate issue I was having with audio from a GoXLR Mini going to a laptop, as I was able to run the line out from the GoXLR to the line in on the capture card to capture the audio. The rgb is a nice touch and looks good, though I'm not sure if there's any way of setting it outside of the controls on the card itself.
EDIT: Figured out how to set the rgb, you can download the software for it from their website. Super lightweight and simple software.
Overall, the card looks and works great and is probably the best option in the $100 price range.
