Razer Naga Trinity (wireless,mouse) and Razer Huntsman V2 (keyboard) what I’ve been using for a few years. Before that had a standard Razer Naga and the Razer Blackwidow keyboard. Razer key is on the price side (can often find decent deals on Amazon and other 3rd party vendors) but I’ve been gaming with Razer peripherals for like 20 years and never had any issues with anything, other than wear and tear.

Sorry for the late ass reply, reddit has been buggy as hell for me lately, I didn't get the notification and only saw it now lmao. Thanks for the recommendation man, that keyboard is actually perfect for me, I just ordered one on amazon for 84 euro which is way less than I thought I would be spending for what I wanted. Thanks again bro.

I had a huntsman mini v3 and before that I had the full size huntsman. I use it for gaming and software development. I have the ghost case and Geon Raw switches with the double shot pbt wooting keycaps

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.

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.

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.
