Razer Kiyo V2 X review
The Razer Kiyo V2 X is a 1440p webcam priced at $100 that struggles in low and high lighting conditions despite its appealing design. It lacks the low-light performance seen in earlier Kiyo models and faces tough competition from budget 4K webcams. While it offers decent quality in normal lighting and includes a privacy filter, its aggressive autofocus and non-detachable cable limit its appeal.
- ▪The Razer Kiyo V2 X captures video at 1440p resolution at 60 fps and includes a built-in privacy filter.
- ▪It performs poorly in low-light environments, showing significant visual noise and autofocus issues.
- ▪The webcam requires Razer Synapse software for manual adjustments, but this can interfere with settings during active meetings.
- ▪Autofocus is overly sensitive, frequently readjusting when the user moves slightly during calls or recordings.
- ▪It competes with budget 4K webcams like the Obsbot Meet 2, making its value proposition questionable at $100.
