Razer Huntsman V2 TKL Tenkeyless Gaming Keyboard: Fast Clicky Optical Switches w/Quick Keystrokes & 8000Hz Polling Rate - Detachable Type-C Cable - Doubleshot PBT Keycaps - Ergonomic Wrist Rest

I love my Razer keyboards. They are durable, and they have a lot of cool features like lighting and the ability to control what the individual keys do. For instance, I can shut off the caps lock key since I never use it and it only becomes a nuisance that computer manufacturers should remove It's a carryover from the typewriter days where that would come in handy. I have owned about 3 of them since the company started. It's generally the only brand I will buy. It's super high quality and long-lasting, and I love the features. It's the best gamer keyboard on the market. My only complaint is that they have been messing around with the software, making it hard to keep up with the changes. Most of them really don't make any sense, and they should just leave things alone. We have a mature product with mature support/configuration software. They really need to tread lightly when modifying the software. Unless there is a major need to change it, leave it alone. Otherwise, both of my Razer products (this keyboard and a Naga Trinity mouse) are amazing, and I love them. I even have a second set so that if I go to the hospital (something that is a good possibility), I have it packed up already, along with my spare power supply and spare cables, so I can get my stuff together quickly to head up to the ER when I am sick. Razer keyboards and mice are the only brand I buy. I compare them with other products and just don't find any that are better. Keep up the great work and please, just keep the config software simple. There is no need to overly complicate that.

The keys have a pretty deep throw and it feels nice. The key input registers with the slightest touch of the key, so the key doesn’t need to be pressed all the way. No lag as far as I can tell and I play COD on it

I am a graduate student in analytics and recently upgraded my old Microsoft membrane keyboard for the Razer Huntsman V2 keyboard mostly for programming. Comparing my old Microsoft keyboard to this one, the feel of the keys is premium and it takes less resistance to press the Huntsman Analogue button. While this is not considered a clicky key switch, the buttons bottom on an aluminum frame makes an old 1970s-style twack... which for me is nostalgic. I love how the mute button turns red when activated and I set the chroma to "spectrum cycling" for the keyboard and a Razer Cobra mouse (independent of any function on the computer). I got it because it looks cool and I am spending a lot of time on the computer these days. The ability to set the height of actuation is a plus and I am currently playing with that setting. I've ordered a USB switch so I can use the same mouse and keyboard between an M1 Mac Mini, a Dell PC, a Raspberry Pi, and a PC laptop. There is nothing weird about the layout of keys on the Huntsman full keyboard which is why I needed to stay away from the BlackWidow series.Some things to note, it is a pretty heavy keyboard so that might play a factor for certain buyers. There are two long USB cords that are permanently fixed to the keyboard. The second wire is mostly for a passthrough to a USB port on the keyboard for the mouse. I'm using it because it is there and I don't want to bother with a dangling wire. The keyboard has firmware that can be updated periodically, on-board profiles, a gaming mode, actuation height setting so it was probably geared to a niche market. It wasn't designed to make life easy which for some might be annoying. I was also left wanting a mildly ergonomic version of this keyboard which is not a thing in the gaming keyboard industry.Overall I am impressed and glad I could buy one for 100$ as a used "like new" item on Amazon, and for that price give it five stars. I would have returned it at the suggested retail price of 250$. I hope this helps someone with their buying decision.

Let me start by saying that this keyboard is a MUST for anyone! It is absolutely the best thing I have put my fingers on in quite a while......LOLFor the last 3 months I have been on the hunt for a keyboard that would meet all my crazy criteria...and I finally found it.First, some background: I am a software engineer and have been writing code and working at a desk in front a keyboard for the last 27 years, so a keyboard (and mouse) is my tool for the trade.In addition, I am extremely picky. More than just for the purpose of creature comforts, I look for "utility" in my tech and for things to be solid, good quality and made in a logical way.For a keyboard, I had this list of criteria:1. Backlit keys2. Quiet keys3. Primary dedicated media buttons that do NOT require a Fn/secondary key to be pressed for access.4. Easy volume controls5. Quiet keys6. Solid build that does not bend down with each key press7. Multi-colors for the backlit keys, if possible8. Quiet keys9. Mechanical-style keys (height and actuation)10. Properly spaced keys11. Quiet keys12. "Linear" Enter key (not "L" shape.....why...why?)Did I mention Quiet keys??? That actually should have been at the top of the list.I know it is a personal preference, and mine is not the clicky noise...it's just too distracting to me.Well, folks - this is it! This is the keyboard that answers ALL the criteria above.To date, I have tried over 20 keyboards and none hit the mark. I've tried cheap ones, medium and expensive ones. Couldn't find it until this.The keys are made of a nice material that provides just that little "grip" you need not to slide off of the surface.Actuation is amazing and the bottom of the key press is dampened (noise-side) in such a nice way that you can barely hear it. I really do mean barely!!SO many reviews and manufacturer write-ups talk about quiet keys...but they were not.This keyboard is absolutely that - quite and pleasant (if you can even say that).Keys are spaced out nicely and typing accuracy is very high.I particulary like the fact that I can set RGB values for the backlit color of the keys...that's just excellent.The software that gets installed by Razer is very good as well. Intuitive and gives you super control over every aspect of the keyboard.I've only had this keyboard ONE day, and already love it. If I think about it, I will return in 30 days and add an update.Price - I wasn't too "comfortable" with spending that type of cash for a keyboard...but now that it's here and I am typing this review with it...it was worth every penny! You DO get what you pay for.If you are in the market - spend the extra dollars and get this! You will NOT be disappointed!!! :)
