Razer - Huntsman Tournament Edition

I had my Huntsman TE for around 4 years up until yesterday when it decided to brick itself. Think it stopped working properly, drew too much power and may have lightly avoided an electrical fire. Anyways, I’m looking for a new keyboard of similar calibre minus the arson attempt for use in competitive gaming and video editing. Good build quality, fast response and TKL are a priority. I’m not overly fussed about sound (hence why I owned a Huntsman) so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If your going for hall effect then the wooting HE is the best in raw performance along with Razers optical in the huntsman. For actually using the wooting would be better. Nuphy field 75 HE, Halo 65HE, Wooting 80& 65, keychron Q1 he, k4 he, or Lemokey P1 HE. I like the Lemokey since it's keychron with the same webapp, it's full metal, it costs ~$160 which makes it middle of the price pack but not as expensive as a metal wooting. The L5 is similar with slightly better polling rate. The Nuphy Field 75 is also good, but it's a bit gamery and plastic.

I do have a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time typing (working and studying from home), so I’m using most keys from 7-7pm. Perhaps the use-case also has something to do with the fatigue? Either way, my low-profile mechanical has been a godsend, I do like the Razer TKL, but I wish I could also get it with a similar profile instead of orange switches.

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.
