Razer goes after game streamers with new Kiyo webcam and Seiren X mic

If you're looking to dip your toes into PC game streaming on Twitch or Mixer, you're going to need two things at the very least: a decent webcam and a good microphone. Razer, already known for its vast lineup of gaming accessories, is hoping it can help out with your streaming needs as well with its two latest products: the Kiyo webcam and Seiren X microphone.

Of the two, the Razer's new webcam is probably the most interesting. On its face, the $99.99 Kiyo is a standard 720p webcam capable of broadcasting at 60 frames per second (or 30 fps at 1080p). However, what makes the Kiyo stand out from the crowd is its integrated adjustable ring light. Provided it's bright enough, the integrated light should provide for a more professional look without the need for additional accessories. And twelve levels of brightness will mean you'll likely be able to adjust the light to suit most environments. Razer claims the Kiyo is the "world's first desktop camera" equipped with this handy perk.

The Serien X and Kiyo are both available directly from Razer for $99.99 each.
