Razer Kiyo V2 review
PC Gamer has reviewed the Razer Kiyo V2, a 4K webcam positioned in a competitive market alongside models like the Yolocam S3 and Obsbot Meet 2. The reviewer found the Kiyo V2 to deliver middling performance, with image quality that falls between the more expensive DLSR-like Yolocam S3 and the budget-friendly Obsbot Meet 2.
The Kiyo V2 notably omits the distinctive ring light featured in the original Razer Kiyo model. While the camera includes an ultrawide field of view as a key feature, this is viewed as a mixed advantage—beneficial to some users but potentially less appealing to others. The camera offers digital zoom functionality through Razer Synapse software, allowing users to adjust between ultrawide and traditional zoom modes, though activating digital zoom results in reduced image quality.
The reviewer suggests the Kiyo V2 lacks a compelling unique proposition in its market segment, where several strong alternatives already exist. Despite the technical capabilities it offers, the camera’s overall performance appears to be competent but unremarkable compared to competitors at both higher and lower price points.
