Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓ Records 1080p straight to a USB flash drive or HDD, no PC or software needed
- ✓ 3.5mm TRS mic input lets you lay commentary over gameplay as you record
- ✓ One-touch record button starts and stops capture without menu diving
- ✓ Handles up to 128GB FAT32 flash drives or 2TB MBR external hard drives
- ✓ Works with Xbox One/360, PS4, Wii U, Switch, set-top boxes, DVD and Blu-ray
Cons
- ✗ No live streaming support at all: will not work with OBS, VLC or YouTube
- ✗ Mic input captures your voice only, not party chat from the console
- ✗ USB drives must be FAT32 and hard drives MBR, so reformatting is often required
- ✗ Caps at 1080p, so 1440p and 4K console output has to be downscaled first

SpecPicks scored MYPIN 1080P HDMI Video Capture Card HD Game Recorder using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the streaming gear category. MYPIN's streaming gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
