For an unofficially supported driver install the elgato-gchdAUR package.
Due to licensing reasons the firmware is not included with this package, and must be extracted from the official driver provided by Elgato for Windows or MacOS. A guide for extracting the firmware for both versions can be found on the GitHub for elgato-gchd.
