Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman V2

Razer Pro Type Ultra

The Razer Huntsman V2 is a wired gaming keyboard, while the Razer Pro Type Ultra is a wireless office board. The Huntsman V2 has a gamer aesthetic, with its RGB backlighting and a Windows Key lock. Also, it has onboard memory, you can set macros directly from the board instead of only through the software, and it has dedicated media keys with a volume control wheel. If you prefer a plainer board, the Pro Type Ultra has white backlighting. Also, you can use it wirelessly, and you can pair it with three Bluetooth devices or one device via its unifying receiver.
