Razer - Huntsman Elite

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.

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.

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

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.

Yes, huntsman keyboards have more wobbliness than other keyboards

Imo, the Huntsman is awesome, i have it and the snap tap feature that comes with it is great

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?

No. I have a wooting 60 and razer huntsman (optical, but whatever). Gave them each a shot for a couple months. Went back to my varmilo manilo with khail prestige silents. Like mice, we're at the point where improvements in tech doesn't matter in real world scenarios for keyboards. IF (and this is a big if) you vastly prefer changing your actuation point on your keyboard then they might be worth it. Outside of that, it's all just preference. There are going to be some keyboards that just feel better to you, and it isn't necessarily going be because of the hall effect. Experiment with switch weight and figure out what you like, then prioritize keyboards where that's available or install those switches yourself. The reason you hear the community say they're definitely better is because they don't want to feel stupid about dropping $200+ on a keyboard that isn't much different than what they had before. I say this as a very early adopter of higher hz monitors. The difference there was obvious. There difference on keyboards is purely preference.
