RΛZΞR is more than just the world's leading brand in gaming. RΛZΞR was founded in 1998 in San Diego, California by CEO Min-Liang Tan and President Robert "RΛZΞRguy" Krakoff in a tiny shared office with a couple other gamers. At first it can take some getting used to and there will be plenty of accidental key presses, but once you get the hang of its speed you’ll likely also realize you’re typing faster than ever as well.A subreddit for discussion of RΛZΞR brand gaming products. This editor in particular isn’t afraid to admit he types at a laughably slow words per minute, but the Razer Huntsman Elite makes us as if we're typing almost twice as fast. All the while the Optomechanical switch delivers a satisfyingly tactile and audible click often omitted on the fastest keyboards. The combination of optical switches and a short mechanical actuation amounts to our swiftest typing experience yet. Razer’s Optomechanical switch might sound like a terrifying chimera on paper, but it all works beautifully in practice. The Optomechanical switch also has a 3.5mm travel distance and 1.5mm actuation point that’s nearly as low as that of Cherry MX Speed Silver. This includes the 45g actuation force of Cherry MX Reds mixed with the clicky feedback of Cherry MX Blue and Razer Green switches. Razer also modeled the mechanical aspects of its new key switch after the best qualities of its competitors. Razer Optomechanical switch fires the same command except it uses a beam of light to do so, which is inherently faster thanks to the speed of light being 186,000 miles-per-second. Traditional mechanical keyboard switches typically bottom out against a metal (usually gold) contact point to create a complete electrical circuit and tell your computer when to type out a character. This entire top-section is there to provide a mechanical feel as the bottom half of the key switch is just a spring, hollow space and the lasers that drive this optical switch. There’s the usual plus-shaped peg in the middle, but surrounding it is a box with branches connected to a metal bar that looks like it was pulled off of a takeout box. If you pull of any of the Huntsman Elite’s keycaps, you’ll find a strange-looking purple switch underneath. Razer isn’t the first peripheral maker to come out with an optical switch keyboard – the Aorus K9 Optical and Tesoro Excalibur SE Spectrum beat it to the punch – but the Optomechanical switch has a unique feel and is significantly faster than others we’ve used in the past.

The Razer Huntsman also features one of the best sets of media keys with three simple buttons for play/rewind and fast forward along with a volume wheel that features a mute button in its center. As ever, Razer is a master in this field with Chroma adding a vibrant, yet soft illumination to every key, button and a unique under glow effect thanks to the 360-degree track lighting. This includes – at long last – an RGB lit palm rest!Īs ridiculously over the top as this might look, you won’t find another keyboard with more RGB lighting.

Where the design deviates is Razer sees everyone else’s lightbars and ups the ante with track lighting all around the perimeter of its keyboard.

All of Razer’s other keyboards thus far have come with a thick plastic fairing, but the Huntsman Elite ditches that for a simpler design.įloating keycaps hover over a jet black anodized aluminum keyboard deck, following in the tradition of other frameless keyboards such as the Logitech G513 and HyperX Alloy Elite RGB. Despite the Huntsman Elite’s larger-than-life aspirations, it’s actually Razer’s smallest keyboard yet thanks to it being the company’s first frameless design.
