This keyboard was replaced by the Razer Huntsman V2

The Razer Huntsman is an amazing full-size gaming keyboard. It features unique Razer clicky optical switches that feel responsive and are great to type on. This board is very well-built and looks sleek, and it offers full RGB lighting. Unfortunately, a nice and comfortable wrist rest would have been nice to have, as it's not the most ergonomic keyboard to use for long periods. Nevertheless, its design is great, but some might not like the clicky switches. This board has been replaced by the Razer Huntsman V2, which comes with a wrist rest, dedicated media keys, and a multi-function wheel.

Our Verdict

8.5 Gaming

The Razer Huntsman is an excellent gaming keyboard. It features unique Razer clicky optical switches that are fairly light and feel very responsive.

Pros
  • Very well-built.
  • Full RGB lighting.
  • Great typing experience.
  • Responsive switches.
  • Macro-programmable keys.
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable to use.
  • Can be loud for some.
6.7 Office

The Razer Huntsman is a decent office keyboard. It offers a great typing quality thanks to its nice switches and nice feedback, but it might be a bit loud for some due to the clickiness of the switches. Also, its ergonomics aren't the best as it doesn't have a wrist rest or any ergonomic characteristic.

Pros
  • Very well-built.
  • Great typing experience.
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable to use.
  • Can be loud for some.
1.5 Mobile/Tablet

The Razer Huntsman keyboard is wired-only and isn't designed to be used for mobile devices.

7.5 Programming

The Razer Huntsman is a great keyboard for programmers. It offers a great typing quality, and its design should last you a while. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the best ergonomics and might not be the best option to work on for long hours. On the other hand, you can program macros on all the keys, which is very useful.

Pros
  • Very well-built.
  • Full RGB lighting.
  • Great typing experience.
  • Macro-programmable keys.
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable to use.
  • Can be loud for some.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

This keyboard is available in black, mercury white, and quartz pink, but there shouldn't be any differences between those models. We reviewed the black model and expect our results to be valid for the other colors as well.

Compared To Other Keyboards

This keyboard features Razer clicky optical switches, which offer a unique overall experience, and can feel a bit different than most typical mechanical switches. The board is very well-built, feels durable, and also features full RGB lighting that doesn't bleed out too much like some other brands. For more options, check out our recommendations for the best keyboards, the best gaming keyboards, and the best mechanical keyboards.

Razer BlackWidow

The Razer Huntsman is better than the Razer BlackWidow. The Huntsman has Razer Optical switches which offer a quick and responsive gaming experience and a better typing quality, and it's also better-built. On the other hand, the BlackWidow has clicky switches that offer audible feedback.

Razer BlackWidow V3

The Razer Huntsman and the Razer BlackWidow V3 are both exceptional for gaming. The V3 comes with a wrist rest, dedicated media keys, and a programmable volume control wheel. It's available with linear Razer Yellow or clicky Green mechanical switches. On the other hand, the Huntsman comes with Razer clicky optical switches.

HyperX Alloy Origins

The HyperX Alloy Origins and the Razer Huntsman are both outstanding full-size gaming keyboards with full RGB backlighting and programmable keys. The Razer's Clicky Optical switches have a shorter pre-travel distance but a slightly higher operating force than the HyperX Reds. They provide tactile feedback, which the HyperX Reds don't; however, they're also much louder, making them less ideal for quiet office environments. The Razer has onboard memory to save custom profiles, but on the other hand, the HyperX has a detachable USB-C cable.

Ducky One 2 Mini V1

The Razer Huntsman and the Ducky One 2 Mini V1 are rather different keyboards. The Razer is a full-size keyboard with proprietary Optical Clicky switches, while the Ducky is a 60% keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. However, the Ducky is available in more formats and switch types. Unfortunately, the Ducky doesn't have software and all customization has to be done on the board directly. Also, its latency is much higher, making it less ideal for fast-paced gaming.

Razer Huntsman Mini

The Razer Huntsman Mini is essentially a compact 60% version of the Razer Huntsman. The Mini provides a better typing experience because it has PBT keycaps as opposed to the Huntsman's ABS keycaps, but the Mini's layout feels a bit cramped and can cause fatigue over time. Other than that, the Mini has a detachable USB-C cable, and it offers more incline settings. The smaller version is also available with Razer Linear Optical switches.

Razer Huntsman V2

The Razer Huntsman V2 is an upgrade to the original Razer Huntsman. The boards are similar, but the V2 includes a few extra features, like dedicated media keys, a multi-function knob that controls the volume by default, PBT keycaps, and a wrist rest.  Also, it's Razer's first board with an 8000Hz polling rate, and it has lower latency than the original. Both boards are available with  Razer Click Optical switches, but only the V2 is available with Razer Linear Optical switches.

SteelSeries Apex Pro

The SteelSeries Apex Pro and the Razer Huntsman are both exceptional gaming keyboards. The main difference between them is that the SteelSeries uses linear switches that allow you to adjust the pre-travel distance to your liking, while the Razer uses clicky optical switches. The SteelSeries has more features, like a customizable OLED screen, dedicated media controls, and a USB passthrough. Also, it includes a wrist rest, which the Razer doesn't.

Corsair K100 RGB

The Razer Huntsman and the Corsair K100 RGB are two fantastic gaming keyboards. They're both full-sized and have many of the same features with macro-programmable keys and RGB lighting. The Corsair is available with linear switches while the Razer is only available with clicky Razer Optical switches. The Corsair offers better typing quality and also comes with a wrist rest.

Razer Huntsman Elite

The Razer Huntsman is basically a less-featured version of the Razer Huntsman Elite, as it doesn't have dedicated media controls, underglow LEDs, and doesn't include a wrist rest. Otherwise, they're nearly identical and they both offer the same switch options. The Clicky Optical switches provide a better typing experience than the Linear Optical switches, but they also generate a lot more typing noise.

Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed

The Razer Huntsman and the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed are mechanical gaming keyboards of different sizes. The Huntsman is a better choice if you prefer a full-size wired board with a Numpad and a dedicated F-row. On the other hand, the HyperSpeed is a better choice if you want a 65% wireless board that can pair with up to three devices at once via Bluetooth. The Huntsman is available with Razer Clicky Optical switches, while the HyperSpeed is available with linear Razer Yellow and clicky Razer Green switches.

Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro

The Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro and the Razer Huntsman are both outstanding gaming keyboards but with different features. The V3 can be used both wirelessly and wired, and it has a multi-device pairing feature that lets you connect up to three devices simultaneously. It has a detachable wrist rest and dedicated media controls, including a customizable volume wheel. The Huntsman's Razer Clicky Optical switches have a shorter pre-travel distance and require less force to actuate than the V3's Razer Green switches, making them feel lighter and more responsive. However, they might be too sensitive for general typing, which might lead to more typos. The V3 is available with linear switches as well, but the Huntsman only has one switch option.

Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition

The Razer Huntsman and the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition are very similar but use different switches. The Huntsman uses clicky optical switches, and the TE uses linear optical switches that are noticeably more sensitive. The TE is also a TKL board, which means it doesn't have a NumPad.

SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL

The Razer Huntsman and the SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL are outstanding mechanical gaming keyboards with a few noteworthy differences. The Razer is a full-sized keyboard with clicky Razer Optical switches that feel very responsive due to a low pre-travel and light force required to actuate keys. Unfortunately, its software isn’t compatible with macOS, and it doesn’t have an included wrist rest. The SteelSeries has companion software with support for Windows and macOS and has an included wrist rest. It also has several extra features, including an OLED screen, a volume wheel, and a USB passthrough. Our unit has SteelSeries tactile Brown switches, though it’s also available with clicky Blue and linear Red switches.

Redragon K582 SURARA RGB

The Redragon K582 SURARA RGB and the Razer Huntsman are similar wired gaming keyboards. Both are full-size with RGB backlighting, and you can set macros to any key on the boards. If you like being able to easily change the switches, the Redragon is hot-swappable. It also comes in more switch types, including linear, tactile, and clicky. The Razer comes with clicky Razer Optical switches only. It has much lower latency, so it's a better choice for competitive or fast-paced gaming.

Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2

The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2 is a better keyboard than the Razer Huntsman. The TE comes with a detachable wrist rest and offers a better typing experience with its linear and quiet Yellow switches. That said, the Hunstman has a Numpad and on-board memory.

Wooting one

The Razer Huntsman and the Wooting one both use optical switches, but the Wooting offers more features. You can enable analog inputs like on a controller joystick or trigger button, which allows for more control in games. You can also customize the pre-travel distance of the Wooting's switches, which you can't do on the Razer. On the other hand, the Razer is a full-size keyboard with a Numpad, which the Wooting doesn't have, and it feels better-built and more durable.

Razer BlackWidow Elite

The Razer Huntsman and the Razer BlackWidow Elite are fairly similar overall. The main difference is that the Huntsman uses optical clicky switches, while the Elite that we tested uses Razer's Orange switches, although it's available with Razer Green and Yellow switches as well. The Elite has more features, like dedicated media keys, a USB passthrough, and it comes with a comfortable wrist rest. Typing feels better on the Elite mainly because the Huntsman's keys wobble and feel slippery.

Logitech G512 Special Edition

The Razer Huntsman and the Logitech G512 Special Edition are fairly similar, but the Razer performs slightly better for gaming. Its optical switches have a lower pre-travel, so typing on it feels a bit more responsive. Also, you can macro-program all of its keys, while the Logitech only lets you set macros to function keys. That said, the Logitech is available with different kinds of switches so you can choose something that better fits your needs. Both keyboards have remarkable latency and full RGB backlighting.

Cooler Master MK730

The Razer Huntsman and the Cooler Master MK730 are similar keyboards. The Razer is a full-sized keyboard that's available with optical or linear switches, which are light to press. However, the Cooler Master is available with three different types of Cherry MX switches and it has a wrist rest.

ASUS ROG Claymore II

The ASUS ROG Claymore II and the Razer Huntsman are both full-size gaming keyboards, but the ASUS is wireless while the Razer is wired. Also, the ASUS has more features, including a volume control wheel, a USB passthrough, four dedicated macro keys, and a modular numpad that you can place on either side of the board or remove it completely for a TKL size. It comes with a plushy wrist rest, and its wired latency is lower than on the Razer. The ASUS is available with clicky and linear ROG RX Optical Mechanical switches. On the other hand, the Razer is available with Razer Optical switches only.

Razer Ornata Chroma

The Razer Huntsman is a better gaming keyboard than the Razer Ornata Chroma. Its optical clicky switches actuate a lot faster than the Ornata's clicky mecha-membrane switches. The Huntsman is also noticeably better-built, but it doesn't come with a nice wrist rest like the Ornata does.

HyperX Alloy FPS RGB

The Razer Huntsman and the HyperX Alloy FPS RGB perform very similarly and are both fantastic full-sized gaming keyboards. The Razer uses optical switches, whether clicky or linear. It feels slightly better-built and has two different incline settings. On the other hand, the HyperX uses normal mechanical linear switches, and its cable is detachable, though it can only be used wired. It also has an extra USB port that you can use to charge your phone.

Razer Ornata V2

The Razer Huntsman and the Razer Ornata V2 are very different keyboards. The Huntsman uses mechanical switches. while the V2 uses hybrid switches that feel more like rubber domes. The Huntsman's switches have a much shorter pre-travel distance and lower operating force, so they lighter and more responsive. The V2 has a wrist rest and dedicated media keys, but it lacks onboard memory, which the Huntsman has. The V2's latency is a bit higher, but it shouldn't be noticeable for most people.

Razer BlackWidow Lite

The Razer Huntsman is better for gaming than the Razer BlackWidow Lite, mainly because the Lite's latency is quite high for a wired keyboard. Also, it only has white backlighting and lacks onboard memory to save custom profiles. That said, the Lite's Razer Orange switches provide a better typing experience as they're not overly sensitive like the Razer Clicky Optical switches on the Huntsman.

Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE

The Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE is marginally better than the Razer Huntsman. The Corsair has dedicated media controls that include a volume wheel, a USB passthrough, and it comes with a wrist rest. On the other hand, the Razer has a better build quality and full RGB backlighting. The Cherry MX Speed switches on the Corsair feel more responsive due to their shorter pre-travel distance, they don't provide tactile feedback, and they generate very little typing noise. On the Razer, the Razer Optical switches require less force to actuate, and they're tactile and clicky like Cherry MX Blues.

HyperX Alloy Elite 2

The Razer Huntsman is slightly better than the HyperX Alloy Elite 2. The Razer comes with proprietary Razer Optical switches, which are easier to press and offer a low pre-travel distance, but they're loud. On the other hand, the HyperX has a USB passthrough, dedicated media keys, and the HyperX Red switches are quiet.

Das Keyboard 4 Professional

The Razer Huntsman is much better than the Das Keyboard 4 Professional for most uses. The Razer's optical switches have a shorter pre-travel distance and are easier to actuate, making them more responsive than the Das Keyboard's Cherry MX Browns. Also, the Razer has significantly lower latency. Both switch types provide tactile feedback, but the Razer's switches are much louder because they also give audio feedback. Feature-wise, it's a bit of a toss-up. The Razer has backlighting, programmable keys, and software support, while the Das Keyboard has USB passthroughs and dedicated media controls.

Razer Pro Type Ultra

The Razer Pro Type Ultra is a wireless office board, while the Razer Huntsman is a wired gaming board. The Pro Type Ultra comes with a wrist rest and white backlighting. Also, you can pair it with up to three devices via Bluetooth and switch between them with hotkeys. It's available with linear Razer Yellow switches only. On the other hand, the Huntsman has customizable RGB backlighting, onboard memory, and it comes with clicky Razer Optical switches.

Drop CTRL

The Razer Huntsman is a full-size gaming keyboard, while the Drop CTRL is a TenKeyLess model. The Razer has much lower latency and comes with clicky Razer Optical switches, without the choice of any other stock switches. It also has somewhat better ergonomics with an additional incline setting. Additionally, it has customization software, which the Drop lacks. On the other hand, the Drop we purchased has tactile Cherry MX Brown switches, but it's also hot-swappable and available in a range of other stock switches. While it lacks software, you can adjust settings with the QMK firmware tool on the Drop website.

Keychron K14

The Razer Huntsman is an outstanding full-sized, wired gaming keyboard, while the Keytchron K14 is a good compact 70% wireless office keyboard. The Razer comes with clicky Razer Optical switches and has hugely lower latency. It also has customization software, which the Keychron lacks. On the other hand, The Keychron feels somewhat sturdier and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. It's available in a range of Gateron G Pro and Keychron Mechanical switches, and it has a hot-swappable version available.

Dream Machines DreamKey

The Razer Huntsman and the Dream Machines DreamKey are mechanical gaming keyboards that use a wired-only connection. However, the Razer performs better overall. It has a shorter pre-travel distance than the Kailh Box Brown switches we tested on the Dream Machines, and it has significantly better latency and much better color mixing. Also, the Razer Synapse 3 software is much more intuitive and easy to use. On the other hand, the Dream Machines has a better build quality and has PBT keycaps for a less slippery feel, and its cable is detachable. It's also available in three different switch types, while the Razer only comes with one possible switch type.

Keychron Q2

The Razer Huntsman and the Keychron Q2 are two very different mechanical keyboards. The Razer is a full-size keyboard designed for gaming use, so it has significantly better latency and uses Razer Optical switches, which have a shorter pre-travel distance. On the other hand, the Keychron is a compact 65% board better suited to office use. It has PBT keycaps rather than ABS, so it feels more premium to type on, and its software is compatible with both Windows and macOS, while the Razer's software is only compatible with Windows. 

Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro

The Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro and the Razer Huntsman are very different keyboards. The Dierya has a compact 60% layout and can be used wirelessly, while the Razer is full-sized and can only be used wired. If you want a keyboard that you can use with multiple devices, the Dierya may be a better choice since its Bluetooth support lets you pair with up to three devices at once, and it's compatible with a variety of operating systems, including iOS and Android. However, the Bluetooth is sometimes unreliable, and the latency is very high. If you want a keyboard for gaming, the Razer may be a better choice since it has very low latency, so you shouldn't notice any delays.

The Razer Huntsman is very well-built. It has an aluminum plate on top of a solid all-plastic body, which results in very little flex. The keycaps are ABS plastic, but they still feel decent. The weaker point of this build seems to be the small incline feet that are wobbly and loose.

The overall typing quality of this keyboard is great. The switches feel nice to type on and offer good feedback, both tactile and audible. Unfortunately, the keycaps wobble a bit and since they're quite easy to actuate, this can lead to more typos. The keycaps also feel a bit slippery and the Razer BlackWidow Elite's feel slightly better. These switches seem to be better for gaming than typing, but do a good job at both. If you want a similar keyboard that provides a better typing experience, check out the Razer BlackWidow Lite.

The clicky optical switches on the Razer Huntsman gaming keyboard are unique. These are a tactile and clicky variant of the switches found on the Huntsman Tournament Edition. They have a short pre-travel distance and low operating force, making them incredibly light and responsive. If you like optical switches, you can check out the Wooting one , which also allows you to have analog inputs where the input depends on how much force you apply on the key, just like a controller.
