Our take on the AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini
The AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini is a compact 1080p60 capture card that records and passes through console video over USB. At a tracked $66.98 it sits at the bottom of its $66.98 to $99.99 range since July 2026, so there is little reason to wait.
It uses UVC, so Windows and Mac machines treat it like a webcam with no drivers. A built-in H.264 hardware encoder handles video on the device, and the listing says HDMI pass-through has zero lag at 1080p60. It works with Switch, PS4, PS5 and Xbox consoles. The catch is the resolution limit: no 4K here. It is rated 4.4 across 1,453 retailer ratings.
- At the bottom of its tracked price range
- Driver-free UVC setup over USB 2.0 or 3.0
- Zero-lag pass-through at 1080p60
- Capped at 1080p60 for capture and pass-through
- Price history covers only 11 points since July
