Razer - Huntsman V2 Analog

Keyboards today are miles ahead of keyboards 4 years ago when this launched. Prices are through the floor for features that used to be luxuries. Some gaming brands have caught up on things like acoustics, customization and typing feel, at least partially. But I wouldn't recommend an older board like this. The comparable price/MSRP is absolutely not realistic even if this was one of Razer's newest boards. Becoming a keyboard enthusiast is like a curse, but maybe moreso because there's always that One More Thing that could be just a bit better. Sure this keyboard will work, and it'll look and feel a ton better than a membrane keyboard while lasting longer. But a proper, nice, modern board is as much better than this (at roughly similar price points, on sale) than this is compared to membrane. You might live with it, not knowing the difference or what you're missing out on. But... $70 for an awful sounding non-wireless optical board with cable hardwired in, switches soldered, and Synapse bloatware mandatory? I think you can do a lot better. But you will get a nice lightshow and cozy wrist rest, I guess\~

I love my Razer keyboard. Huntsman analog pro.

I don't recommend Razer. My Huntsman 2 analog started to have problems a moment after the warranty, now you can't do much with it...

This keyboard is garbage it started double clicking keys after a year

Razer is overpriced compared to other options, also this isn’t even mechanical to be worth paying $70 for a keyboard.

I used a razer ornata chroma for 5 years after which i bought a huntsman v2 analog which am using fir almost 2 years now. And am even waiting to buy a Blackwidow. So yh they are good

True but razer is notorious for products that need to be rma’d multiple times to get a semi working product not to mention razer synapse isn’t the best software to have installed

Little over your budget, but if you're gung ho for wireless, why not choose a Huntsman V2 analog wireless, especially if you're going to be using it for gaming. $180 CAD right now, might go down with Black Friday sales (I haven't checked tbh). If you go wired, they're on clearance at Canada Computers, can get one for under $100. I have a V3 (wired) and it's absolutely the best keyboard I've owned. Snap Tap is borderline cheating in games, instant actuation is just so noticeable. edit: snap tap is the ability for your keyboard to prioritize the latest input on your keyboard without releasing the previous key...basically for things like strafing in FPS games, when you have to press A and D keys frequently to dodge...traditional keyboards you have to fully depress the A or D key for the next key to register, with Snap Tap you can literally hold both keys down and just press one as you like for godlike strafing abilities. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wDcRf4uCzuM

Check out the Huntsman analog keyboards. Much quieter, and have a shitload of extra features including some amazing gaming features.

I own this keyboard, it's fine. I got called out for having super loud keys in proximity chat in ARC Raiders which lead me on a journey to replace the switches - Razer decided that this particular keyboard needs twenty something screws to keep it together, all underneath the keycaps.

I wasn't aware that there were different versions. At least what I remember the box had no marking to differentiate them.

That explains it. I was able to purchase new, quieter switches off ebay and put them on the keys I use most for gaming.

I had this keyboard for a few months, terrible feel and super loud. I threw it in the trash lol, I regret it because it was worth money but it infuriated me. Normally I hoard everything, I've got like 20 keyboards.
