Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition

Corsair K70 RGB TKL

The Corsair K70 RGB TKL and the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition are two fantastic gaming keyboards. The Razer has proprietary linear optical switches, making for a light gaming experience, but they're too sensitive for typing, so the Corsair has better typing quality. The Corsair also has dedicated media keys, which the Razer doesn't have. Other than that, they're pretty similar in terms of performance.
