Kiyo

I have the Kiyo, an older model (idk if theyve updated since like 5 years ago when i bought it), but it sucks imo. Idk if I just havent set it up right or what but its super mid in terms of quality.

Bought a Razer Kiyo after seeing it here and a few other places as working. It does not, I just get a white screen.

Yes, it's the standard Razer Kiyo with the ring light. I updated the firmware to the latest version and still had the same problem. Possible it's defective--when I would press the B button to back out of the Test USB Camera screen, no inputs would work on the controller until I unplugged the camera from the USB port (tried both the dock's USB-A and the console's USB-C, same thing). System recognized a camera had been plugged in, and the microphone does work under the Audio menu. Camera works fine when I plug it in to my PC.

I don't understand either. I returned it and got the Switch 2 official camera instead, which works just fine. Best guess is a compatibility issue with the Kiyo 2.3.x firmware (was out of the box with version 2.3.0 and I updated to v2.3.2\_r2 when it didn't work) and the current Switch 2 system software (20.3.0). Would like to hear anyone who has a working Kiyo to chime in and verify. Would really like to use a better quality camera, but if system/firmware updates can break the compatibility, the official one seems the safest bet. Oh well.

Elgato Facecam Neo, Razer Kiyo, if you want a built-in light or Logitech c920 series. Take your pick, all for less $100 usd typically

I use just a wired keyboard and Logitech mx Wireless mouse. For camera I use a Razer Kiyo which is great. People usually comment how much better it looks than most of the $30 1080p cameras we hand out to people. For microphone I use a Blue Yeti which sits off to the corner of my desk and for speakers I use a little mini USB soundbar. It’s nice not having to wear a headset and can just sit down and go. I really do need to invest in a better wireless keyboard but just have had other priorities.

Razer KIO. Ring light improves the picture no end. https://amzn.eu/d/0gSv4rzV

kiyo was solid for its time but built in ring light never that great tbh. if youre looking to upgrade emeet pixy ai tracking been good, keeps me centered without adjusting. i think they just dropped price in january.

It's most definitely a budget webcam, wrapped as a premium product. But it's like €45 now so if your room is well-lit, this cam will suffice. But don't expect endboss quality video.
