The result is pretty much heaven for long gaming sessions and typing.
The Huntsman’s pad seems to be of the same design, with soft memory foam inside a leatherette covering, but its stance is a little more squared-off and elevated. The wrist rest on Razer’s BlackWidow V2 was the best I’d ever used – until now. Kevin Lee + 1 moreOn that note, the Hunstman Elite is definitely comfortable. On the underside of the board, the flip-out stand legs offer two positions, which is handy for finding a comfortable typing position. I’m a big fan of the brushed aluminum decks on the Corsair K70 MK.2, for example, but the Huntsman and its matte finish have the welcome benefit of warding off ugly fingerprints. The overall size feels more compact than the rather large BlackWidow Chroma V2 and the matte-black aluminum face of the board adds some needed weight to keep the keyboard from moving around the desk. Razer Huntsman Elite – Design and FeaturesThe Huntsman Elite, even from a distance, has the look of a high-end keyboard. I spent some time with the slick-looking Elite deck to see how the new switches compare to their mechanical rivals, and to see if the insane price tag was an early-adopter tax or justified. In addition to new switches, the keyboard also features new media controls (finally) and a cleverly-designed RGB perimeter lighting system that works with or without the wrist rest.Īt $200, the Huntsman Elite is Razer's most expensive keyboard, though there is a non-Elite version for $150 as well that forgoes the side lights and wrist rest. Here in 2018, it seems Razer isn’t done innovating on the keyboard switch front, as its all-new Huntsman Elite (See it on Amazon) is the first keyboard to use a new type of switch it calls "opto-mechanical." These switches use frickin' laser beams to register keypresses instead of metal contacts, theoretically offering better speed and durability. Back in 2014, Razer created its very own proprietary switches instead of going with the Cherry MX switches that were then, and still are, found on most mechanical gaming keyboards.
