Apparently I paid like $15 or something, but anyways, this is what I bought, prices have changed a bit since then, but identical devices are out there under various ASINs/labels:
RCA to HDMI: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RX69KR8/ HDMI capture: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088CWQGN5/
As far as game capture, it probably depends on a few things. Name brand definitely has significant markup, but they also include software and such as well. Note that my capture dongle here records in 1080P only, and you'll spend a lot more for 4K-capable hardware, and fancier capture devices offer HDMI pass-through so you can both capture and display on a screen, and this does not.
Now, if you want to play your games in OBS at 1080p, this might work for you, I'm not sure where performance starts to degrade for a cheapy dongle like this, but I think there's probably a good reason gaming setups use a little bit higher end setups.
