I tested Razer’s new Kiyo V2 webcam and it delivers impressive 4K visuals with one major catch

The Razer Kiyo V2 webcam perched on top of a monitor with pegboard behind it.

Razer has long been known for its circular webcams made for gamers and streamers but with the new Kiyo V2, it changed up the design significantly. The big circular lens is still front and center but now, there’s a large rectangle around back that houses the Kiyo V2’s chipset and microphones.

Not only does this give Razer’s new 4K webcam a more modern look but it also allows for more separation between its dual-microphone array with one on each end. Another big change is that the Kiyo V2’s cable is now detachable which makes moving it around easier and the tripod mounting hole on the bottom means you aren’t limited to just putting this webcam on top of your monitor. Finally, there’s a twistable privacy shutter on the front with a nice click to let you know it’s closed.
