Any should work, as long as you ensure you’re buying one designed to split output, or one sold as bi-directional. It sounds like you may have picked up one designed for connecting multiple peripherals to a single HDMI input on a TV, which won’t necessarily work in reverse.

I don’t use one so can’t recommend, but I wouldn’t spend too much time choosing one on Amazon as long as it explicitly stated “output splitter” or “bi-directional” on the listing. If you did buy such a device, and it doesn’t work, then get a refund.
