gcomp Automatic 8:2 Component / Composite Switch

gcomp Automatic 8:2 Component / Composite Switch

Connect all your Component / Composite devices at once and enjoy automatic switching when you turn on the system you are ready to play! 
SUPERGUN WARNING: Any SUPERGUN conversion (or arcade mods in general) will permanently damage the switch. This damage is easy to detect and will void the warranty, so please make sure you do NOT attempt to use this product with a Supergun conversion. 

This switch is similar to the gscart switch and shares the same principle; effortless automatic switching with best possible video quality and HD video support. This is a combination Composite/ Component switch which means that it can be used for both Composite and Component signal switching simultaneously.


If you plan to use composite functionality:

TVs with shared Composite / Y RCA plug (Yellow / Green): connect the composite source to the green input and connect the green output to the yellow/ green plug of your TV. Depending on your TV model you may have to use a remote to switch to Composite/ Component mode.


TVs with independent Composite yellow and green RCA ports: connect the audio RCA outputs to TV in the usual way but use the additional separate RCA lead for composite (Yellow) output. You will likely have to use the TV remote to switch to composite/ component mode. If you have separate stereo audio inputs for component/ composite TV inputs you will have to use additional 1:2 RCA splitters (not provided).


Full audio / video input protection has been added to minimize the damage when incompatible equipment is connected. Please take into account that protection won’t make all the faulty cases work, it’s there just to protect the hardware.


Features (v5.2):

  • 8 inputs
  • 2 outputs
  • Simultaneous output support
  • Design with focus on video quality
  • Automatic switching based on sync (Y / Composite)
  • HD signal supported (up to 1080p)
  • Integrated video amplifier
  • EXT header support to query / override enabled input
  • Full audio / video input protection
  • PSU polarity & overvoltage protection
  • Externally powered by USB (standard MicroUSB +5V connector)
  • High quality universal power supply is included

POWER CONNECTOR WARNING:

The micro USB port is a is surface mounted and if you apply too much force or step on it, it might detach. This is not a defect.  Due to the fragile nature of this port we may be able to repair the port if you accidentally damage it.  Contact [email protected] if you run into an issue with your micro USB port.

    Great Switch!

    Posted by 8bit_jake on Aug 14th 2025

    I`m not one to review much, but I absolutely love this switch! It automatically changes to the active input. When using proper cables to your devices (found on this site), the quality is just stellar! So far I`ve tried OG Xbox, SNES, PS1. Can`t wait to test out more but it`s retro heaven, enjoy!

    Finally got a hold of one of these, and it`s been great! Handled my Genesis, Saturn, Gamecube, while simplifying my setup. Very happy with how everything has come together with my RetroTink 4k.

    Great device

    Posted by Jacob on Feb 14th 2025

    It works exactly the way I hoped it would. It`s responsive and looks great. I was a little concerned at first because it`ll really grip your cables, but I think that`s a good thing. No worrying about anything falling out.

    Works great! With a Wii caveat

    Posted by Matt Heimlich on Feb 13th 2025

    It works great! Currently have it switching between SNES, N64, Wii, PS2, Saturn, and a VHS player.

    A NOTE FOR WII USERS:

    If the Wii is in standby, it will hold the signal and the switcher won`t be able to switch to other devices. You have to turn the power all the way off (red light, not yellow) in order to release the signal. If you have PiiLoader on a CFW Wii, you can enable the setting ``Ignore Standby`` in order to be able to be properly turn the Wii all the way off with the remote. Otherwise, you`ll need to hold the power button until it is fully shut down.

    A Fantastic Product with Shifting Deadlines

    Posted by Scott M on Jan 30th 2025

    The GCOMP switch has been an absolutely phenomenal addition to my overall setup, and has worked flawlessly from day one.

    My biggest complaint is with the timelines provided for manufacturing and distribution of the device, which is not SAG's fault. They were very transparent in the process when information was requested, but for a products launch date to be shifted 3-4 times before finally launching comes across as poorly planned and managed.

    If the consistency of stock and manufacturing for the device can improve, this would easily be a 5/5 star rating.

    The only other issue is in relation to the power port of the device, as it's known to be weak and fragile, yet the developer has yet to redesign this in a way that provides more stability and longevity to the device, also micro-usb still being used is a little unfortunate, but as they provide the charger it's not much of an issue really.

    Magic

    Posted by ninjabot on Dec 4th 2024

    I wish I had known about this device before spending a bunch of money on cheap hardware that still didn`t capture all the functionality of a gcomp. The automatic switching is great on its own, but the dual output also lets me easily use my CRT or my RetroTink/LCD (depending on my mood). If you`re here reading reviews and wondering if this thing is worth the money, I honestly don`t think you can go wrong.

    Flawless Solution

    Posted by Nachosonic on Jun 13th 2024

    I just bought my second gcomp switch to daisy chain them and get a total of 15 inputs, 2 component outputs and 1 composite output dedicated for the NES in the first switch (composite on green). Perfect solution to get simultaneous output to my CRT and to the retrotink.
