About this deal

Text appears: If you're looking to go grab a gaming keyboard, specifically for competitive FPS, the Huntsman V2 TKL is a very strong contender.

The Huntsman Mini has enough onboard memory to store a generous 5 profiles, launchable by holding the Fn and menu key. Razer’s Synapse 3 software lets you toggle through 11 pre-made RGB effects, including one that reacts to audio coming from your PC. You can also use the software to set per-key lighting effects, match lighting with other products using Razer’s Chroma RGB lighting and make profiles launch with linked games. Offers faster, lighter, and smoother actuations than mechanical switches, and lasts longer as it requires fewer moving parts that operate with less friction. The camera pulls out and transitions to a full shot of the Razer Huntsman V2 keyboard, complete with Razer Chroma RGB lighting and its ergonomic wrist rest. All that said, I didn’t notice a major difference in terms of weight or actuation between the Cherry Reds in the Asus ROG Strix Scope Electro Punk keyboard and the new Razer optical linear switches. I’m just not that ‘1337’ of a gamer, I guess. But where the difference was clear was in sound output and the feeling of bottoming out. Razer’s earlier linear optical switches that I tested in the Huntsman Tournament Edition were loud when bottoming out, with a soft, plastic-like ringing when banging on the keys. Cherry’s MX Red switches were comparatively much quieter than those original linear optical switches.The Huntsman Mini supports n-key rollover, and while it’s hard to press every key, I was able to record 42 key presses with an online tool. Ideal for minimalist or smaller setups where desk space is a premium, its compact build also means it travels well and is easier to position when gaming-allowing you to play more comfortably. The casing on this 60% gaming keyboard is robust enough to withstand long hours of intense, regular use and has a clean matte finishing. Take your settings anywhere as you store and activate up to 5 keyboard profiles without the need for software, and personalize it further with a preloaded suite of Razer Chroma RGB lighting effects. Designed for greater durability, the keycaps on this 60% gaming keyboard have a premium, textured quality that'll never degrade to a shiny finish or have their labelling wear off with intense use. For easier reference when executing commands and hotkeys, side-printed secondary functions have also been added.

For the higher price, you at least get doubleshot PBT keycaps. We’ll get to how these aided typing in the section below, but for look and feel you be confident they won’t gather fingerprints as easily as the ABS keycaps offered on some other Huntsman keyboards. The textured look brings a classic and professional touch to those with keen eyes. Razer boasts that the font used here is the thinnest available on PBT keycaps, thanks to proprietary manufacturing technique. It wasn’t an obvious record holder at first glance, but the thin font lends to discrete, bleed-free RGB with the right settings. And because the keycaps are doubleshot, this slender font won’t fade.Yes, you’re living without many of your typical keys here, but Razer had enough mercy to include a lot of side-printed functions. They’re legible from a normal seated distance, and when you hold down the Fn key, all lighting turns off except for those keys with a secondary function.

Razer’s PBT keycaps provided superior friction that prevented slipping, even during times of clamminess. It also helped keep my fingers in place and avoid accidental keypresses. When I needed to throw a grenade suddenly, I was happy that the keys were closer together than I’ve seen on some other keyboards. And if you’re fingers get fatigued from banging on your keys and bluntly bottoming out on the switch, you’ll appreciate that the end of the travel line on the new Razer switches is pleasantly comparable to Cherry’s Red linear switches. It’s a subtle difference -- unless you hammer on the keys -- but was far more noticeable to me than the shorter travel and actuation points compared to Cherry Reds. Like many mechanical keyboards, the spacebar on the Huntsman Mini is a little stiffer than the rest of the keys, but it’s less of a difference than what we've seen on some other mechanical boards. In Battlefield V, the spacebar made for a solid and affirming jump without feeling stiff. EU Declaration of Conformity for Abyssus Lite & Goliathus Mobile Construct Ed. Bundle (RZ83-0273).pdf You can use arrow keys with the Fn key and I, J, K and L, but having to hold down two keys for use one arrow is a tough life for a writer like me. Those who work a lot of spreadsheets, meanwhile, will miss number keys.

With Razer’s newest linear switches, though, sound is much less of an issue. Not only are these keys quieter than Razer’s previous linear optical switches, they’re quieter than Cherry MX Reds too. The camera shifts down to a full shot of the Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless keyboard, which has a noticeably more compact form factor, but also has Razer Chroma RGB lighting and an ergonomic wrist rest.

Enter a new dimension of deadly with the Razer Huntsman Mini-a 60% gaming keyboard with cutting-edge Razer Optical Switches. Highly portable and ideal for streamlined setups, it's time to experience lightning-fast actuation in our most compact form factor yet. Razer making its own PBT keycaps is a notable investment, as Razer tells us the tool required to make them is expensive. Razer’s showing some commitment to the keyboard enthusiast side of the mechanical market, where swapping out keycaps for a premiums is common.

The Razer Huntsman Mini doesn't have the function row, home cluster and numpad of a traditional full-sized keyboard, yet loses no functionality because all these inputs are still accessible via secondary functions and shortcuts. Text appears: The Razer Huntsman V2 is a fantastic keyboard: great looks, smart design and performance to say the least.Synapse is also helpful for macro recording and rebinding keys, important considering how stripped down a 60% keyboard is. The Hypershift feature gives keys a secondary function when holding down Fn. Text appears: All of this cements the Huntsman V2 as one of the best, most practical mechanical keyboards out there today.
