Razer Kiyo Webcam

Who would have thought that a webcam would be the peripheral to have in 2020?

It’s important now more than ever to have a webcam that’s able to show a clear image at any time of the day, so if you’re in a Zoom call, or streaming Animal Crossing to your legions of adoring fans, the viewer can always see you clearly.

This is where the Kiyo webcam from Razer comes in; a fantastic camera that can clip on to your monitor or shelf nearby to broadcast the best angle of your chin, but at a great price. We took it for a spin...

Video Quality - Score 95

It can broadcast at 720p at 60 fps, or 1080 at 30 fps, which are both more than ideal options to track the scare-jumps when you're doing an S-run of Resident Evil 2. It also can be displayed in a 4:3 aspect so it can be perfect for those Skype-work-meetings.
