Customer Ratings & Reviews

IN MY OPINION, the Top 3 of the "gamer" type mechanical keyboards on market right now are... + Roccat Vulcan 120 AIMO + Corsair K70 MK.2 SE + Razer Huntsman Elite The features you want will determine the ranking as with everything else of course. It's always difficult for me to pick a new keyboard and mouse because I'm so particular, picky even, especially when it comes to the keyboard. I rank the switch feel, build quality, and aesthetics the highest on my list. I don't care for rows of extra macro keys spread all over the place, I prefer a standard layout but I really like being able to reprogram any key on the board to do whatever I wish (this is why Logitech's keyboards didn't make my top 3 list unfortunately). Now that I've given an idea of what I'm looking for personally, how does the Huntsman Elite stack up? It's honestly an amazing keyboard and it would be the one taking up real estate on my desk right now if it weren't for what I feel to be the best keyboard on this list... so I guess that puts it at second place. Razer's new purple optical/mechanical switches feel nothing short of excellent to type on. They give me a great tactile feeling without being fatiguing or too unnecessarily noisy, feeling is 9 out of 10. The lighting on the Huntsman Elite is also very nice, every key is very vibrantly and evenly lit. There is a lighting strip that runs the perimeter of the keyboard as well as the wrist rest, if you choose to use it (you really should), the lights cast onto your desk surface and it creates a very beautiful show. Speaking of the wrist rest, it's an extra plush PU leather type rest that attaches and detaches effortlessly with magnets, very nice. The Huntsman has a very clean, even elegant, layout with no extra BS going on. There are dedicated media transport keys and a volume disc available, the volume disc feels high quality and can be reprogrammed to whatever functions you'd like (are you paying attention to this functionality Corsair?!). I have been using a Razer Black Widow Chroma that my wife gave me for Christmas several years ago and I've never encountered a single issue with it, I'm saying that to qualify the fact that I feel like the Huntsman Elite is a superior board in every way from build quality to the design. I am giving it 5 stars because it's honestly an amazing piece of hardware, but there is one board that I would recommend more than this one if you happen to be minded like myself in your pursuit for the perfect keyboard... and that is the Roccat Vulcan 120 AIMO, which I will have a review here on that one also. If the Corsair K70 MK.2 SE had Cherry Browns available then it might just unseat one the others because of it's beautiful white double-shot PBT keycaps that are included. All in all, if you go with one of the three boards I've listed here then you are going to be in good shape, it all just depends on what you place higher on your list of desires in a "gamer" type mechanical keyboard. If anyone has any questions regarding these keyboards I have them all and would be happy to answer.

Great keys awesome wrist rest, definitely better than apex pro and corsairs keyboards. 100% would recomend

I love this keyboard. The mechanical keys are super satisfying and the chroma lighting is phenomenal. I bought my wife the pink one, and had to get one of my own. The lighted wrist pad is an excellent unique touch that really bring everything together. Easy to set up and choose lighting patterns but also has a more advanced system to tailor it to exact specifications if you wish.

I admit that I haven't read the instructions to this keyboard. Things I like: The built is excellent. RGB Colors. The Wrist pad, love it. Things I don't like: The software: the razer software synapse thing, is confusing and the keyboard behaves weird under some profiles. I need to read the instructions but I was expecting the fn keys to work like they work on any laptop. I also don't like the clicky sound. For this price this keyboard should bring replacement keys.

The key caps sound good, the wrist rest too along with it having rgb and magnetic, the software is also pretty cool and you can download presets off google to customize your keyboard

Quality product all around. Keys have a nice tactile feel. Love how the wrist rest attaches by magnet for easy install/removal + lights up instantly with RGB. A must add for any RGB setup

this is an awesome keyboard.. razer always does a great job and their new opto-mech keys are nice albeit not a hugely noticeable difference in speed. it has a clicky tactile feel like their green switches too.. the chroma lighting looks great and while the under glow is sort of overkill, it’s actually pretty pleasant and fun to customize. the underglow does get lost in some of the games that feature chroma lighting( only half lights up), but i suppose that will be fixed in time. while the wrist rest is comfortable and the accompanying chroma lighting is a good finish, the secondary usb cable to power it seems a bit redundant considering there’s no usb passthrough, but that is a very minor complaint. i really enjoyed gaming on this, but typing did feel a little clumsy for me personally. i would recommend it if you got the cash to spend and it’s probably worth it over the regular huntsman just for the media controls alone plus you get the underglow, wrist rest, and crazy new opto-mechanical keys that won’t blow you’re mind, but will still feel good. if you’re within the price range already, just buy it and try it out... or wait for it to go on sale...

It’s very well built with a sturdy metal design and the keys feel really nice and clicky, albeit a bit sensitive to accidental key taps. Lightning is really well done and looks really nice, and the cable (and cables) are really sturdy. I do recommend having one of the Razer USB port expansions (or any other works) as it does take up 2 USB ports. It’s definitely a massive upgrade to my old Cynosa, which also was a great keyboard. All in all, well built, feels nice, and looks great Only issue I had was connecting it to Synapse, but that was fixed fairly quickly

All the R's, the G's, and the B's are illuminated beautifully at full brightness and the switches are very responsive. The multimedia buttons and included wristrest are very unique. No switch rattle at all compared to its 2nd rate competetors. Fantastic for not only gaming (like MOBAs, and FPS), but also every day typing. Much better than the other brands like Corsiar, Logitech, Thermaltake, TGR, Filco, KUL, Roccat, LZ, Ducky, Coolermaster or Noxary. Very good keyboard. 10/10 would buy again.

Ive been using it and its tbe best keyboard that I have had for gaming! The RGB works great and the clicky keys are super satisfying. Definitely recommend

I have now owned this keyboard for almost 5 months and am still very satisfied with my purchase. The keys feel great with a medium travel and have a nice tactile click. The build quality of the keyboard is fantastic and with it's aluminium body you will see little to no flex making it a very durable product. Although I found the cables a bit thick and hard to route and hide they are very high quality and will certainly never fray. The rgb on this is fantastic, very bright during the night and the underglow will look great at any desk. I appreciate the wrist rest included, it adds a nice elegance to the keyboard and also has a connector which extends the underglow of the keyboard, but I have found the the great feeling and soft wrist rest is sadly brought down by the aluminium frame that will bite into your lower wrist/arm. This keyboard has been great for me and if you are willing to pay the premium I would recommend this keyboard however if you are in a tight budget and have other areas where you might need an upgrade like your pc or a headset I would recommend getting a cheaper keyboard or going with a Logitech or corsair keyboard which are generally cheaper and still just as high quality.

Great keyboard with a wrist pad for comfort. Still pretty expensive if you don't buy during their black friday sale. Great gift for any pc gamer.

Awesome keyboard, have used it for 2 years and not a single issue with it. Razer is simply great.

Had since April of 2022 and haven’t noticed any issues at all. It’s been an amazing keyboard

This is my favorite keyboard of all time. I also bought(Razer - Basilisk Ultimate Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with HyperSpeed Technology and Charging Dock - Black) and love the combo. I bought for the "mechanical keyboard" feature and was not disappointed. Disclaimer, I didn't care about any other feature on this. I leaned towards this one because of the audio buttons and it was corded. It also has a wrist rest. However, all those features actually made this my favorite keyboard I've owned. Pros: - The lighting schemes are cool. I mean, to some it might be a gimmick but it feels fancy. - The audio knob does the job. I do wish the knob was taller or bigger. It's slightly raised off the level surface of the keyboard but I'm not going to add to cons. It has enough texture that it still works for gripping. Plus simply pressing the audio knob mutes the computer which is handy. No more remembering which button is separate for mute. I haven't looked at the other buttons next to it so cannot speak to it. - The wrist pad is SOFT. I thought it was just another cheap rest but it's worth the money for just this thing. And if it doesn't work out for you, it's magnetized so you can simply and easily pull it off the keyboard. No clips or risk of breaking it. - The reason I bought it with the clicky clack is just for that. All the keys feel nice and the clacky clack makes it sound like I'm doing something important. - No random keys that confuse during gameplay. I had a logitech with programmable keys on the far left in a column. I always pressed them by accident. I don't have to worry about that anymore. Cons: - I seriously wish I had one. - For the sake of something, maybe would have been nice with 2 windows buttons instead of just one? Like I'm digging deep in the barrel for that one. - Oh I guess, I wish the volume button was more pronounced. I decided to add it to cons to give it substance. It's worth the buy but might seem pricey for some clicky clack and shiny lights. However, it's not all smoke and mirrors with this. They've engineered something great. I would buy again to replace it.

You can have the lights on or off. Typing on this keyboard is excellent Best keyboard I’ve came across

Sturdy keyboard with awesome lighting. Love the optional comfort bar.

Got the keyboard at a good Black Friday price but is relatively complicated and the software can sometimes act up after I change it overall very good keyboard even for its full price but like I said be aware of the software can kind of be a pain in the neck.

I’ve used Razer for years, sometimes lowering their stuff, sometimes not. This keyboard feels very solid, well constructed, and smooth to use. The design makes it easy to clean. I don’t notice a difference with the optical switches, but maybe a more professional player can. However, I haven’t had any failed keystrokes, and it feels great to use. Only note is to be aware, it has 2 USBs, neither are a pass through, they are both necessary for full functionality, so make sure you have enough unused ports before purchasing.

Super comfortable wrist cushion along with those satisfying clicks with each press! Best keyboard ive used to date!
