Razer Huntsman Elite, Razer Clicky Optical PURPLE, USB, US

Die Razer Huntsman Elite ist eine mechanische Gaming Tastatur, die euch einiges bieten kann, wenn die Software nicht herumspinnen würde. Mit den eigenentwickelten Schaltern besitzt die Tastatur ein einzigartiges Schreibgefühl. Da die Software noch nicht einwandfrei funktioniert, kann ich die Tastatur derzeit jedoch noch nicht weiterempfehlen.

Razer’s Huntsman Elite sits as the company’s flagship gaming keyboard. This keyboard has been out for well over a year now and brings with it some pretty unique features. This full-size keyboard has an RGB-enabled detachable wrist rest, Razer’s newer Opto-Mechanical switches, on-board multimedia controls, a programmable wheel, and of course works with Razer’s Synapse software where you can reprogram the keyboard, create macros, adjust the RGB lighting and more. A year later is this keyboard still worthy of being called Razer’s flagship? Read on as we find out!

The Huntsman packs possibly the finest mass-market key switch available today, in a package which oozes class. Rarely has a keyboard this basic, at this price, earned its asking price so handily.

It’s been a while since we last saw a new keyboard from Razer – but the wait is over, as today we are reviewing the £200 Huntsman Elite. This keyboard boasts an aluminium top-plate, new dedicated multimedia keys, as well as Opto-Mechanical switches. It is the latter feature which is most interesting, as we are now seeing optical switches being used by a major player in the peripheral market for the first time. Just how do they work, and what is the benefit? Let’s find out.
