Best gamer keyboards on the market.
By Eric R. Roberts on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025
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.

A true step down! Bloatware, Beware!
By Douglas on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2023
Moving from the original Huntsman Elite to this poorly designed Huntsman V2 has not been fun. The wrist-rest slides around as it is only attached by a weak magnet. The old Huntsman Elite had a contact port and some very strong magnets. The older Huntsman Elite also had RGB around the wrist pad that gave a nice glow for night gaming, this keyboard does not have that. This keyboard did some strange things on the face of the keys. For example the 7 and & are next to each other making for a shotty looking key as well as making the entire keyboard feel cluttered as all keys put their secondary function next to it, like the 7 key described above. The Cable coming into the keyboard is jammed on the top end of the left side of they keyboard, where as on the older Huntsman Elite it was in the middle top, making for arranging your desktop a lot easier whether right or left handed! The Alt keys were larger on the older keyboard making it easier to hit when gaming, especially since the Context Menu key is much larger and a lot easier to hit by accident messing up things. The fn key is larger and the space is .25" longer just to make you have to get use to yet a new design. PBT keycaps are cheap and do not let light shine through much at all! -- Razer Synapse software is mandatory and is filled with bloat ware! -- Razer you build these keyboards. So, stop changing the size and locations of things! We get use to them and when you move them it makes it difficult to game. They brag about this keyboard being quiet. The only thing making it quiet is some cheap foam they tucked around the keys, they really did nothing special. I imagine this foam will break down and the keyboard will be noisy again soon. 8000Hz Polling Rate. Really, how many people press keys so fast that the short distance the signal travels in the keyboard cord actually misses a key press? Latency on a keyboard really is not a thing per a number of reviews online that I read and watched. The only good thing I see on this keyboard is that they actually replaced the old Audio Scroll Wheel with a new larger one. The old scroll wheels always wore out after 7-8 months. Now take into consideration this scroll wheel is not used that often, so to have it wear out in such a short time period equates to poorly build components. Let us hope they used better quality this time with the new larger Audio Scroll Wheel. Razer Huntsman V2, is it worth it? In this viewers opinion, not really. The High price at $199.99 or $179.99 on sale, no thank you! The older Huntsman Elite was often on sale for just $99.99 with free shipping! Go get another keyboard and save yourself $100.00 There are plenty of high quality keyboards for gaming out there that cost a lot less and many are in the $79 to $100 range. I would list them here but I am not sure if that breaks Amazon's rules for reviewing products.
