One of Razer's computer accessories is now being sold at a 38% discount. The Kiyo X 1080p webcam is now selling at just $49.99 including shipping from its previous $80 price.

Razer's Kiyo X is Reportedly the Most Affordable Option within the Kiyo Lineup

Razer is no stranger to computer accessories not just for gamers and streamers but also for other professionals as well. Although most of their accessories are designed to be useful for gamers, their specs are still of good enough standard to be used professionally.

As per Steam Tech Reviews, the Razer Kiyo X is also the most affordable webcam within the Kiyo lineup. With the recent findings of 9to5toys, the already affordable streaming webcam just got even more affordable.

Webcam from Razer is Now Being Sold for 38% Off at Just $49.99 from $79.99

According to the story, the Razer Kiyo X Full HD Streaming Webcam is now being sold on Amazon at a major discount. While its regular price is $79.99, the webcam is being sold at 38% off at $49.99.

9to5toys gives a more detailed description of why the webcam is quite significant. One of its specs includes a wide-angle lens which gives users the option of either 1080p30 or 720p60.

Why 1080p30 and 720p60 are Enough for Streamers

The good thing about the 1080p30 is that it can be used for meetings where not a lot of movement is required or video games where quality matters more than the frame rate. For aggressive gaming or capturing something fast-moving, however, the 720p60 could prove a more useful choice.

Although some might not thing that the resolution is enough for a webcam, the article by 9to5toys notes that it is more than enough especially for streamers that display just a small window while they stream a game.

Webcam Includes Auto-Focus Feature to Help Video to Stay Sharp Despite Moving Around

Users can also enable auto-focus in order for them to stay sharp despite moving around. Users will have the ability to override the focus within the software in order to get a better adjustment by manually changing certain settings.

When it comes to mounting, it is flexible enough for users to position it on their desk, on top of their monitor, or on a tripod. Users will be able to position the webcam in different ways to come up with a more versatile setting.

Razer Kiyo X 1080p Webcam Customizable Features

The article by 9to5toys notes that the 720p 60 FPS is designed to provide an "ultra-smooth video" despite lacking in pixels compared to the 1080p 30 FPS version. Users will also be able to fully customize their webcam.

Some of the customizable features include brightness, saturation, contrast, and even white balance with the help of the Razer Synapse 3. Users will also be able to choose between different image presets or create their own profiles for easier tuning later on.
