Though I have a lot to say about it from a technical perspective, I don't think I have that much to say about the Razer Kiyo V2. That's because, after testing tons of 4K webcams, it's pretty middling. Its quality is worse than the more expensive DLSR-like Yolocam S3 but better than the value-oriented Obsbot Meet 2. It doesn't have the flashy ring light of the first Razer Kiyo (for the better), but in doing so, I think it struggles to have a unique pull in an already pretty strong market. It does have ultrawide, but to some, that's an upside and to others, a downside.
In fairness, with a digital zoom in Razer Synapse, you don't have to use it in ultrawide mode, but then swapping to a more traditional zoom means taking a hit to the quality of the Kiyo V2.
But what the Kiyo does, it does well. It's a solid 4K webcam with a strong aesthetic, and, importantly, it's relatively plug-and-play. You need a USB 3.0 cable to get 4K (there is a colour-matched one in the box), but once set up...
