Hi
These are different times... if you have USB3.0, choose new MS2130 for $10, if you want high-end and not worry about whether the USB-C socket will start falling off & firmware issues and locked color settings (my Ezcap320) or overheating (because it is made of cheap plastic: my ezcap 331... even generic MS2109 or MS2130 for $10 have metal casings), choose Elgato for example HD60X. For HDCP or Dolby Vision (LLDV) choose the Ezcoo splitter. And if you have USB2.0 only, you can do nothing and stay with MS2109.

Or do you have any recommendation for MS2130 in similar form factor

Built-in splitters (grabber + splitter in one) are usually big problems: if the grabber does not support HDR, it will not pass the HDR signal (although if it is forced by the splitter, it will catch it and HyperHDR will fix the colors), it will block recording if it detects HDCP, it may have limited EDID and e.g. not offer 1080p24 signal even though both TV and grabber support it... if you do not know the answers to these questions about a given grabber with a loop, it is better to forget about it. Usually these parameters are not given in brochures and only tests can tell something if you know what you are looking for.
The only such trouble-free from the beginning grabber+splitter that I have is the Elgato HD60X, but even it does not support HDCP due to licensing restrictions.

MS2130 with Ezcoo splitter
