Razer - Huntsman Elite

Hello all I have a razer huntsman elite and i have noticed a problem in the last 24 hours that i Have not had before when playing fps games i use alt q a lot to sneak walk and they've recently started to not work when alt pressed without pressing alt the q key works perfect it seems like there conflicting maby ive tried reseting the keyboard and still no joy

q will not work when i use the alt key this is the only key that doesnt work when i press the alt key there isnt any controller involved

I recently just got a new keyboard and went through looking a lot of different options. I own a full size razer huntsman elite and it’s been a decent keyboard but I never liked the key clicks feel quite as much as some other mechanical keyboards. But I do think it is a good keyboard generally. Anyways I was looking for a less than full size keyboard and Wooting is all the rage currently for gaming. I wanted F keys, low latency, and non-plastic body. The wooting keyboard with a non-plastic body I think is around $280 currently. Looking into countless further options I settled at Womier SK75 TMR/HE, note the TMR/HE as there is a standard SK75 that I am not advocating for. The SK75 TMR/HE has those things I wanted and the Wooting maybe was more differentiated years ago but I’m not convinced it’s not running its high price off of brand name/hype somewhat at this point. But I can’t say I have personally tried one, just the vibes I get from everything I have watched/read in the last week. Anyways the SK75 TMR/HE has been impressive and feels awesome and allegedly it has all the low latency stats. I paid $120 for it on Amazon. I have only used it for a few days so far so no ability comment on longevity. Overall I think the Razer and Wooting are probably fine keyboards. But there is a vast amount of options out there and I think Wooting may be at a premium price.

Longevity? I have had a couple of huntsman elites since release and cannot think of any problems encountered. The deathstalker v2 pro has also been great.

Razer is pretty good in my experience. I'm still using a tiamat 7.1 and an ouroboros and a tartarus. No issues. I still have several controllers, definitely don't want the wolverine 2, but 3 is interesting if I can find it in stores. I've also got a Naga. From everything I have, my wildcat has minor stickdrift on the left stic (enough that it doesn't move but it decreased the speed in some directions), and I've been using that since launch. My wolverine ultimate I kept for special occasions but am now using it as my main. I don't use my raijus for pc, only ps. The unfortunate truth with razer is that they're a bit pricey. If you go for the good stuff. But the good stuff is worth it. The rest, my tartarus definitely feels lower quality than my other gear and lower quality than some good keyboards I felt in store but never got when they were around. I wanted a huntsman elite. If I can find one I'm going for it. But that's because I don't have faith in their cheaper stuff. They're not Logitech that has decent performance all around. They're Razer. They're made with premium in mind, and a difference intended to be felt. Yeah, boohoo, that sucks. But when they have some of the best latencies I've experienced I don't care. Input lag is one of the worst things I've had to deal with when I use other gear.

completely forgot about that lmao. well in that case I would recommend OP get another decently built keyboard for typing and daily use, and use the huntsman for gaming.

Razer huntsman is fine. It's overpriced for the features list, you are mostly paying for the brand name. But it's definitely not a bad keyboard by any stretch of the imagination. My main complaint is that for the same price you could probably get a better featured Keychron, Yunzii, or Monsgeek. Features you want to look for: Double Shot Keycaps - Lots of "gaming brands"[ including Razer](https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/p2qouf/huntsman_elite_keycaps_peeling/) laser etch their keycaps, which have a much lower life expectancy. QMK/Via compatibility - This will easily allow you to set up macros and layers without needing clunky proprietary software. Razer requires you to log in to a Razer account to use those features. Hot Swap Switches - I understand you may not want to build your keyboard from scratch, and that's 100% understandable. But when a key breaks if your keyboard is hot swap you can just replace that switch. No need to send it in for repair or take the whole thing apart to solder in a new switch. It's as simple as popping the switch off and plugging in a new one.

it's good for gaming (counterstrafing) however i don't think it's worth it overall. good quality but you can get better keyboards for way cheaper and at the end of the day the snap tap isn't life changing

Yes, huntsman keyboards have more wobbliness than other keyboards

Hiii, i bought my huntsmann last yr december so wala pa sya 1yr pero yung isang letter iba na color ng ilaw. May idea ka ba how to fix? Yung sayo ba goods pa din ilaw?

I would say it's their Huntsman lineup

I'm really happy with my razer huntsman but the 60% can be annoying of the lack of arrow keys.( Leaves lots of table space tho so idk)

I’ll go with huntsman.
