I tested it with Google Meet and Skype for video calls and it served perfectly well. It can also snap good quality still shots. I found the Razer Kiyo offered impressive color accuracy in natural light and a pleasingly detailed image. The autofocus works well, but it's very quick to react, so if you move around a lot it can prove to be distracting. The higher frame rate makes for smoother footage.

The Logitech C920S, for example, only runs at 30 fps for 720p footage using Logitech's software.

While you expect to find 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps) as an option in a good webcam, the Razer Kiyo outperforms some top alternatives when it comes to 720p, offering 60 fps. There's also an advanced settings menu that lets you dig deeper with extra options like sharpness and gain, as well as controls for zoom level, pan, tilt, and exposure. You can choose to turn auto-focus off if you prefer to set focus manually.
720P BORDERLANDS 3 IMAGE INSTALL
Install Razer's Synapse 3 software, and you get access to camera controls with sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation, and white balance.īeyond the default, Razer offers three presets (cool, vibrant, and warm) and a custom settings option. The default settings are solid, with auto-focus enabled, good color accuracy, and automatic white balance, but you'll likely want to tweak the settings for yourself. Find a spare USB port on your PC or laptop, and you're good to go. The Razer Kiyo couldn't be much easier to get started with, as it's plug and play. Webcams tend to look quite boring, but this is a thoughtful design that combines style and function. The part that hooks over my monitor covers a tab in my browser, which is slightly annoying, but I do like the look of it. The Razer Kiyo is relatively large and heavy compared to other webcams. Sadly, the cable is firmly attached to the webcam, so there's no option to replace it with a longer one. While the braided cable feels durable and offers enough length to accommodate my standing desk when extended, it may prove frustrating for some people at just shy of 5 feet long. The central disc has the power cable running out of the back, while the bottom disc has a screw mount in the middle for a tripod attachment. The parts that have contact with your screen or frame are finished in grippy, soft-touch, matte black, rubbery plastic to ensure the webcam doesn't scratch or damage your display.
This main disc has another two discs below it, enabling it to fold open into an L-shaped joint that's capable of clamping onto any monitor or laptop screen. A white LED ring light wraps around the lens and the outside is black textured plastic which serves as a control to turn the ring light on and to adjust the brightness.
There's a tiny LED indicator at the top to show when the camera is live and there's a pinhole for the microphone at the bottom. The camera lens is in the middle of a ring, surrounded by subtle concentric circles and an etched Razer logo in black. Webcams tend to have unobtrusive designs so they can clamp onto the top of screens unnoticed, but the Razer Kiyo has a very distinctive look that makes it stand out. Mount options: L-shape joint or Tripod (not included)Ĭompatibility: Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.10 or later, XBox One, Chrome OS, Android v 5.0 or later Design Cable: 1.5-meter (4.9 feet) braided cable
