Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition

 

Razer's Huntsman Tournament Edition is a solid twitch-response keyboard for competitive players comfortable prioritizing gaming over typo-free typing.

Light, compact design. Optical switches are accurate and have hair-trigger actuation. Detachable cable enhances portability.

Featherlight actuation can lead to lots of typing mistakes.

Bottom Line: Razer's Huntsman Tournament Edition is a solid twitch-response keyboard for competitive players comfortable prioritizing gaming over typo-free typing.

Razer Huntsman Elite review: Optical switches arrive, but that's not even the best feature

 

For the keyboard nerds: Razer's Huntsman Elite has optical switches. For everyone else: The wrist rest is RGB-enabled. No, seriously.

Opto-Mechanical switch is speedy and clean feeling ; RGB-enabled wrist rest is gaudy but cool ; Finally, dedicated media keys on a Razer keyboard

Opto-Mechanical switch is deafeningly loud ; Volume wheel is hard to use without looking ; Wrist-rest illumination requires both USB cables to be plugged in

Of course, it’s also a $200 keyboard. That puts it right up there with the aforementioned Corsair K95 Platinum, a keyboard we currently have listed as our “splurge” keyboard pick—meaning there are a hell of a lot of great mechanical keyboards you could...

Razer Huntsman Elite

 

With a new kind of key switch, plus wild RGB backlighting, dedicated media keys, and a volume dial, Razer's Huntsman Elite gaming keyboard offers plenty, but for the price, it's missing a few bits some gamers will deem crucial.

Fast, tactile switches with light touch. Per-key RGB backlighting and underglow. Dedicated media keys and volume dial. Onboard memory for profiles and settings. Magnetic leatherette wrist rest.

Expensive. Only one switch type. No dedicated macro keys.

Bottom Line: With a new kind of key switch, plus wild RGB backlighting, dedicated media keys, and a volume dial, Razer's Huntsman Elite gaming keyboard offers plenty, but for the price, it's missing a few bits some gamers will deem crucial.

The Secret to Razer's Sick New Mechanical Keyboard Is Freaking Lasers

 

The office may hate me, but Razer's new Huntsman Elite keyboard feels so good to type on I'm willing to suffer the glares for all the noise I'm making. It feels a little silly saying that what with me having expensive keyboard collecting habit. But...

The opto-mechanical key switches are simply lovely.

Razer Huntsman Elite: A hyper-exciting hybrid that lives up to the pricetag

 

Time will have to tell whether opto-mechanicals are the next gold rush for the gaming accessories space. However, for now, the products like Razer Huntsman are great - but not quite a gaming necessity.

Top-notch design and build quality ; Opto-mechanical switches are hyper-tactile

Expensive ; Key innovations aren't quite a game-changer
