Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman V2 Analog

Corsair K70 MAX

The Razer Huntsman V2 Analog and the Corsair K70 MAX are full-size gaming keyboards with analog switches that allow you to customize individual switches' pre-travel and reset points. Unfortunately, this setting is noticeably inaccurate on the Razer keyboard. That said, the Razer has somewhat better build quality. It also has a programmable control knob and a USB passthrough, which the Corsair lacks. On the other hand, the Corsair has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. It also has several extra features the Razer lacks, including a tournament switch, programmable scroll wheel, and dedicated profile, brightness, and lock keys.
