Text appears: All of this cements the Huntsman V2 as one of the best, most practical mechanical keyboards out there today. Ergonomic Wrist Rest: The included wrist rest adds comfort during extended gaming sessions, reducing fatigue and strain. Along with its own optical switches, Razer introduced a stabilizing bar to improve the typing experience. But in my experience, the bar didn’t make a difference when typing, other than to add an annoying rattle to the switches. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I averaged 119.5 words per minute (WPM) and 94.98% accuracy. That’s 1.5 WPM faster than my usual speed and about 3% less accurate. I thought I might have a greater speed boost, because the keys are so easy to actuate, but I think trepidation about accidentally mispressing slowed me down.
Razer markets the optical switches as being faster, touting all sorts of wondrous terms such as “the speed of light” and “the fastest performance you’ll ever experience,” but I couldn’t care less about those things. Sure, in a scientific test, they might outperform classic electric mechanical switches because they don’t have to account for debounce, but if you find me one person who can tell the difference in speed in a blind test, I’ll buy you a beer. Maybe two. Niels Broekhuijsen/Digital Trends When looking at the Huntsman TKL, the first thing that stands out about it is the simple design – it’s just a plain TKL keyboard without any fancy goodies in its peripherals. The media keys are integrated into the F-keys, instead of being dedicated, there is no volume roller, and there isn’t a ton of RGB goodness slathered in all sorts of obnoxious corners. There is some RGB, but it’s only under the main keys. Pair that with the comfortable wrist rest, height, and smooth switches, and you largely forget all about the keyboard when playing – and that’s about the best compliment I can give a keyboard. It’s all just smooth sailing. While the keyboard does poll at 8,000 Hz, 1,000 is plenty, and Corsair’s K70 RGB TKL Champion Edition already showed that you don’t need 8,000 Hz on a keyboard.

Price Point: While the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL is a top-tier gaming keyboard, its premium features come at a higher price point. However, the investment is well worth it for serious gamers. Similar to what’s available in other keyboard software like Logitech’s G Hub, Synapse can set profiles for specific games, which was extremely useful when I played Zombies mode on Cold War. The rgb on the keyboard looks very good as well and It's going to be awesome when I get around to putting the Razer Phantom keycaps or some other brand of pudding key caps. Text appears: The Razer Huntsman V2 is a fantastic keyboard: great looks, smart design and performance to say the least.Razer claims their optical mechanical switches mean 0.2ms latency with every press, while the “average mechanical gaming keyboard” has a 2-2.4ms delay. You’d have to be an eSports-player to notice it, but I can’t confirm if even that’s the case. More noticeable when gaming was what little effort it took to press a key and how responsive and wobble-free those presses were. The Huntsman V2 TKL should last a minimum of five years under normal use, though I do expect the wrist rest will need early replacement during that time — maybe twice. Razer covers the keyboard with a two-year warranty. Should I buy it? The switches are also nearly silent. Thanks to a layer of sound-dampening foam inside the keyboard, this is one of the quieter mechanical keyboards you’ll find.
With a spring weight of 45g, the Razer Purple switches are almost the same weight as MX Reds, which are what I tested in the Keychron Q1. It may solely be down to the fact that these are optical switches and have less to do with the 8,000 Hz polling, but the switches here are fast, which I’ll discuss more in the next section. The camera flips again and we see the keyboard being dropped into an acoustic test chamber that is lined with foam.Doubleshot PBT Keycaps: The keycaps are made of durable doubleshot PBT, ensuring they can withstand the most intense gaming sessions without wearing out. The linear switches we tested for this review have a total travel of 4mm, s 1.2mm actuation point and require 45g of force to actuate. For comparison, Cherry’s MX Red switches have a lower actuation point of 2mm and also felt less smooth traveling down in a side-by-side comparison. The polling rate of 8,000 Hz sounds cool on a specs sheet or a box, but will probably only be helpful for truly elite gamers (if at all). It’s not as easy to tell the benefits of a high polling rate on a keyboard as on a mouse, as faster button presses are less noticeable to the average eye than more precise mouse movements. That’s a bit disappointing, as it’s one of the key justifications for this being a V2 version of the keyboard, but you might not notice it at all.

Text appears: Extra plush comfort, エルゴノミックリストレスト But the implementation of the stabilizers seems to be an issue here--at least for me. The stabilizers Razer put in the Huntsman V2 aren’t like your usual Cherry stabilizers; the stabilizers used in the Huntsman line have two clips that attach to the bottom of the spacebar. You’ll also want to look at both wired and wireless connections. Wireless models are often more expensive than their wired siblings. Some cheap wireless keyboards might suffer input lag, but reliable products from big names like Logitech and SteelSeries are typically fine for all but pro gamers. Razer’s Synapse software does a lot of things, like letting you adjust the per-key RGB, rebind keys and record macros. I don’t dabble with rebinding keys on keyboards above 65 percent, so there was no need here, but that feature is there if you want it. There’s also a feature within Synapse called Visualizer, which lights up the board to the beat of whatever audio is coming out of your speakers. It’s not going to help your gaming, but it’s a lot of fun to mess with. The camera flips upside down to reveal a close up of the red switches actuating in sync to the music. Compared to the purple switches, these sound deeper and smoother.If you want a tkl layout keyboard andyou play games like CS, or cod or other fps titles where you become a sweaty nerd this will be a good keyboard for you! The TKL layout is great to if you dont want it to take up too much real estate on your desk. We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.3, which overhauls how key input is evaluated. We've added new tests for Single Key Latency, Multi Key Latency, Data Transmission, and Chord Split. We've also introduced a new Raw Performance usage and adjusted how the Gaming and Office usage scores are calculated. You can see the full changelog here. But in actual use, including both gaming and typing, we didn’t feel like we saw inputs occuring on screen faster than when using a 1,000 Hz keyboard. There wasn’t even a massive difference when typing with the polling rate set to 125 Hz, although. things did seem to catch up negligibly slower.
