If you have spent any time on YouTube looking for a budget livestreaming mixer or a portable USB sound card, you have seen it. The F998. With its array of colorful RGB lights, physical knobs for gain, bass, treble, and a row of satisfying mechanical push-buttons for mic mute, monitor mixing, and voice effects, it looks like a piece of sci-fi DJ gear for $30.
The Chinese driver CD image (circa 2018). It works, but it feels spyware-adjacent. Always run it through VirusTotal first.
