## What reviewers say

One whitelisted source survived verification: Notebookcheck's genuine hands-on of the exact Razer Ripsaw X (Razer supplied a loaner; the author connected a Canon EOS 550D, tried a GoPro Hero 8, and attempted game-streaming from a second PC). It praised the excellent DSLR image quality and lighter-sized plug-and-play form factor, but flagged that non-clean-HDMI cameras show on-screen info, grey borders and an un-hideable focus box; that DSLRs overheat and drain their battery on long sessions (and the GoPro Hero 8 needs a Media Mod to work at all); and that capturing a second PC's HDMI for game streaming produced flickering and a rolling picture. No lab measurements were taken, so all findings are qualitative and single-source. (Based on 1 review, 1 lab-tested, 2021-11-17.)

Praised: Excellent image quality from a DSLR used as a webcam, with the exact depth of field the tester wanted; Very compact (lighter-sized) and true plug-and-play, no software install needed.
Flagged: Needs a clean-HDMI camera; otherwise on-screen info, grey borders and an un-hideable focus box overlay the stream; DSLRs overheat and drain their battery over long streaming sessions, and some cameras (GoPro Hero 8 without Media Mod) would not work at all; Image flickering and rolling/shifting picture when capturing a second PC's HDMI signal for game streaming; Not cheap at roughly 140 euro versus 1080p dongles from about 12 euro.
Disagreement: Single-source only, so no cross-source comparison is possible. Notebookcheck itself could not confirm whether the game-streaming image glitches were caused by the Ripsaw X or by its short test setup (possible defective HDMI cable / Windows 11 HDMI output).
