Can you use a USB output splitter as an input viewer
I wanna have an input viewer for my switch. However, I need a board that is about 70 bucks and I don’t want to spend that much on it. Could I use a USB output splitter like this:

for this? I would think I could plug in my pro controller and one output into the switch and the other into my computer. If not, what is another cheap way to do this
After reading the comments, no, you can't use this specific splitter.
It's said in the description that the second connector can only be used for transmitting power, not data.
I'm afraid you need to buy something a bit more expensive to do what you want to do (be it an onboard or external card).
