Notes

The camera’s 640×480 @ 30FPS won’t win awards for image quality, but it’s perfectly fine for in-game player cams and adds character to your setup. The detachable design and privacy shutter are useful touches that make this more than a novelty.

If you own a Switch 2 and want a stylish, affordable camera for player cams, this is a solid bargain at $40.
