Huntsman Tournament Edition

100% recommend going to a local tech store that has some gaming keyboards and mice on display and just get a feel for them. Your accessory is a preference so its hard to give a definitive recommendation. I've had razer ornata, huntsman v2, huntsman tournament and they all have their own minor inconveniences that lead me to not use them anymore. Ornata is mechanical membrane, not particularly optimal. Huntsman v2 was a bit bulky for me (tall key caps) Tournament had too low of an actuation point (resting my fingers on the keys activated them) and did not have a feel-good press to them. Mice are the same depending on your hand size, grip, and even moisture (how much you sweat). Ultimately I have a Logitech g915 keyboard because of its short key caps and it has an overall nice feel. Rock a razer viper ultimate mouse (v1 basically) I own v2 and it just was a bit smaller and out of shape for me. I own a superlight and it was uncomfortably small as well. I have razer glass keyboard but I def recommend a slow-medium pad of whichever company you like, its just easier to use and better for tactical shooters like valorant.

So I switched from Windows11 to linux. I had a razer huntsman with optical switches and it was ok in windows. It was very loud and the dial was always flaky. Even using open razer I wouldn’t recommend any razer stuff in linux. You can change some of the RGB stuff but changing anything meaningful doesn’t work. I have a 65% keychron HE keyboard now and it works perfectly in linux. You can set the RGB stuff but you can set actuation points or change what keys do what. And it does that using a web app so nothing needs installing. Works with bluetooth, wired or using the included wifi dongle.

I went through two Razer Huntsman keyboards and now I'm using the 8bitDo Mechanical keyboard with the addition of the keypad that can be used as a standalone calculator.

My keyboard finally died and I'm looking for a recommendation for a replacement. Years ago | got a Razer Huntsman with the optical-mechanical switches. Fast forward a few years and I find 25 keys are displaying the completely wrong colours, and about 10 other keys stopped working entirely. So I'm looking for any recommendations please. I'm looking for something that is great to type on and is good for occasional gaming. Please and thanks.

i love my razer deathstalker v2 pro tkl with red switches. for gaming it's amazing, for typing, it's ok. better than my normal huntsman keyboard with red switches. it's also optical, which is a must for me in terms of reliability. sick of having double typing problems with non optical keyboards
