Razer Kiyo Review
The Razer Kiyo is a streaming-focused webcam distinguished by a built-in adjustable ring light surrounding the lens, letting streamers improve lighting without a separate ring light accessory taking up desk space.
An adjustable ring light built directly around the camera lens is a genuinely distinctive feature that eliminates the need for a separate lighting accessory, a real space and setup-time saver for streamers with limited desk space. Against the Razer Kiyo Pro, covered elsewhere on this site, that model drops the built-in ring light for better low-light sensor performance without added lighting. Against the Logitech C922 Pro Stream, also covered elsewhere on this site, that camera has no built-in lighting solution at all.
