Your audience will notice Review: Excellent capture device with knowledgeable support staff and amazing performance - Before I get to the review I'll quickly detail my computer specs since it may matter. i5-4690k 16gb ram nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 1TB Samsung 840 Evo SSD which I had the software set to use for recording storage So I actually purchased this on May 11th so I could record my (admittedly rather bad) gameplay from my consoles. When I got it I had a few issues which I'll detail but first I'll go through the pros. First off the unit is really easy to setup. Just download the software from the website and install it then connect the device. If you wish you can install the software ahead of time while you wait for a unit you ordered to arrive. The software itself is pretty stable. I didn't have any real issues during recording. The only one I had, which may of very well been user error, was that it seemed to be "recording" where the clock was moving but it didn't record. I had messed with some settings prior so I reset everything to default and it worked fine after. I'm actually able to get full 1080p 60fps without issue. This worked fine out of the box. It may have to do with my specs though and as such your mileage may vary. There are steps on the Elgato help site that can work towards improving performance if for some reason you are not able to get that. The recording was clear and didn't have any frame drops. Please be aware if you are trying to play the video via VLC and getting frame drops or what appears to be a scrambled picture please try another player that might actually use the system decoder. VLC uses its own decoder and it seemed to have issues when I tested my first couple of recordings. When I used a different player it worked fine. If people have to know I do use K-Lite Codec Pack but I don't think that was what fixed it but it may affect what system decoder was actually used. The fact that I use that doesn't constitute an endorsement or recommendation of that software. The issue with VLC may be resolved in a future update of the software if it isn't already. Elgato Support is very very good. They communicated via email and there may be a delay but responses are from actual people and I didn't have any troubleshooting based auto-replies. I did get one for the initial email receipt but that just gave appropriate response timeframes so that expectations could be established. Kudos to them for doing that. You do not have to hook up the HDMI out if you don't want to. For me I was just using it to hook up to the computer and using the software is perfectly acceptable. The delay is pretty much invisible. I was able to play the game using purely the feed from the software without any real issue. Now for the cons. My unit had a seemingly loose USB connection. When moving the unit would sometimes disconnect. I did get the unit replaced with Elgato where the issue continued. As a second step they actually sent me a replacement USB 3 to USB C cable (same as what was in the box) and that seems to have resolved the issue. So... if your unit seems to drop out while you are moving it then it may be advisable to just try a different cable and see if the issue persists. I can only guess there was a loose wire in the connector that plugged into the Elgato HD60 S. If the unit does happen to disconnect while the Game Capture HD program is running then it may crash. This may result in the loss of the recording or corrupted data in it. For the most part, this is a minor issue because it shouldn't disconnect on its own anyways. Review: Great Capture Card, but... - So I bought this capture card after my Avermedia Live Gamer Portable 2 broke. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 S is the best external capture card for recording PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and more at 1080p 60 FPS. When you get this, make sure of the following: 1. Your computer has USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 ports. 2. Your computer meets the system requirements. 3. Install the latest firmware and drivers. 4. Install Elgato Gaming Software. After doing all of that, I plugged the capture card into my PC, launched the Elgato Gaming Software, and it worked perfectly. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't work on Ryzen, but I had no issues. It has so little lag you can almost play through the preview Window, and the quality looks amazing. If you want a good capture card for recording PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and more, pick this up. UPDATE 7/14/2019 The USB 3.0 cable which was included this capture card eventually stopped working after about 6 months of having this capture card, so I had to order a new USB cable for it. Not enough to drop the rating, but I thought I should warn people that the included USB cable may stop working eventually. Also one great feature I failed to mention was that it supports 4K 60 Hz passthrough. What this means is that I can play something like my PC or PS4 Pro in 4K while recording in 1080 60 FPS. No need to lower resolution on 4K capable consoles at all. I also have no issues using it stream all of my consoles using Streamlabs OBS. Still highly recommend this capture card. Just be weary of the USB cable issue. ## Features - 1080p60 Capture: share your gameplay in superb viewing quality. - True Passthrough: play your console games with zero lag. - Instant Gameview: power your workflow with ultra-low-latency technology. - Unlimited Capture: record hours of footage directly to your hard drive. - Flashback Recording: slide back in time to save epic moments retroactively. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01DRWCOGA | | AV Output | HDMI | | Antenna Location | Game streaming and video recording | | Best Sellers Rank | #169 in Internal TV Tuner & Video Capture Cards | | Brand | Elgato | | Built-In Media | Game Capture HD60 S, HDMI cable, Quick Start Guide, USB 3.0 cable | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console, Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 25,296 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04260195391161 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Item Dimensions | 2.95 x 4.41 x 0.75 inches | | Item Type Name | Low latency technology | | Item Weight | 12.7 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Elgato | | Mfr Part Number | 1GC109901004 | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 10 (64-bit) 4th generation quad-core Intel Core i5 CPU (i5-4xxx or comparable) Intel HD or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600 series graphics (or better) 4 GB RAM | | Model Name | HD60 S | | Model Number | 1GC109901004 | | Operating System | Mac,Windows 10 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Alcohol-Free | | Platform | Xbox One | | Recommended Uses For Product | Game streaming and video recording | | Special Feature | Alcohol-Free | | UPC | 813180020306 081318002030 632102436199 797059276677 | | Unit Count | 3.4 Ounce | | Video Capture Resolution | 1080p | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Elgato - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Operating System:** Mac,Windows 10 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Game streaming and video recording - **Video Capture Resolution:** 1080p ## Images ![HD60 S - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31y-Fjwt3yL.jpg) ![HD60 S - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Tmqb5RxaL.jpg) ![HD60 S - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41deN-eIq3L.jpg) ![HD60 S - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Ld5VqtRML.jpg) ![HD60 S - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41D15fKXjpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it compatible with the Switch?** A: Hi Carl, It sure is, but please keep in mind that the switch would need to be docked. If you have any other questions, please reach out: help.elgato.com **Q: Does this work with any hdmi output video device as well?** A: If you're talking about connecting this to your hdmi output from your GPU, then yes it could. I'm doing that myself with my dual pc streaming setup. Connected from my graphics card to the elgato's hdmi in, and the elgato's hdmi out to my monitor's hdmi input. Flawlessly captures my 1080p monitor at 60 fps. **Q: Will this work on the Switch lite?** A: No, the Nintendo Switch Lite is handheld only. The USB Type-C for it is only for external power output. **Q: What is the length of usb-c cable given in the box ?** A: 4 ft. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent capture device with knowledgeable support staff and amazing performance *by S***I on June 17, 2017* Before I get to the review I'll quickly detail my computer specs since it may matter. i5-4690k 16gb ram nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 1TB Samsung 840 Evo SSD which I had the software set to use for recording storage So I actually purchased this on May 11th so I could record my (admittedly rather bad) gameplay from my consoles.

Just be weary of the USB cable issue. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This and Avermedia's Live Gamer Ultra come close together *by J***N on March 16, 2019* I'm just going to make simple comparisons between the Elgato HD60 S, and the Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra. Elgato HD60 S Pros: - Capture card's design has excellent build quality, and it's very compact too! - Immediately picks up the video signal of my Nintendo Switch the moment the system is turned on - Excellent video quality - Frame rate is at 60 FPS Cons: - Colors will be a bit off under the default settings. You can use OBS's Color Correction filter to improve them, so it's an easy fix. - The audio from the game's capture will fade in once the system is turned on, but this is really a minor complain on my end. - The Elgato's firmware and software get constant updates like about every week or so. Unfortunately, you NEED to keep everything up to date, otherwise your capture card will not work properly. - Needless to say, you definitely must download pretty much all of the software from Elgato's website. Now for the Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra Pros: - Excellent design, as it has it's own vent to extract heat (The Elgato HD60 S does not have a vent that is visible, but that's not important to know.) - Great video quality - Frame rate is at 60 FPS at max - Updates are not constant, but they do happen when updates for the firmware are needed. Cons: - Build quality on the capture card itself feels just a little cheap, but it definitely beats the build quality of the first Live Gamer Portable capture card, which I had back in 2015, but it died on me months later. - The video signal reception is delayed the moment you turn on your console, but it also depends on the console you are using. Unlike the Elgato, you have to wait a few seconds for the video feed to show up in OBS (If you use that, which I also recommend) - Colors on the video feed may be a bit off by default, but then again, OBS's Color Correction filter can fix that easily in seconds. In conclusion, these two capture cards that I own are very much neck-and-neck in terms of quality, durability, technique, software, and also firmware features. No matter which capture card you use, however, I strongly recommend using OBS for the best streaming experience (or recording). ## Frequently Bought Together - Elgato HD60 S, usb3.0 External Capture Card, Stream and Record in 1080p60 with ultra-low latency on PS5, PS4/Pro, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One X/S, in OBS, Twitch, YouTube, works with PC/Mac - Elgato Chat Link Pro - Audio Adapter, for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Capture Voice Chat, Gameplay Sound, Extra Long Cable, Black - YEAOI HD60 S Chat Link Pro Cable for Elgato HD60 X, HD60S Plus Capture Card, Party Chat Adapter for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, with in-line Isolator --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/27432865-hd60-s](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/27432865-hd60-s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
