Make every second count with this Razer Huntsman Elite optical gaming keyboard. The opto-mechanical switches feature an optical light sensor, registering keystrokes rapidly for fast performance, and the design enables reduced physical contact for a lifespan of up to 100 million keystrokes. This Razer Huntsman Elite optical gaming keyboard uses on-board memory or cloud storage to save configurations, and the multifunction digital dial lets you adjust settings with ease.

The New Razer Optical Switch: Utilize optical technology for actuation, combined with a new switch design for actuation at the speed of light. And with optical actuation providing less physical contact, you get durability of up to 100 million keystrokes.
Razer Linear Optical Switch: A linear switch that actuates at a 1.0mm actuation distance, 16.67% shorter than other linear mechanical switches. At a lightweight 40 g of actuation force.
Optical Actuation: With optical actuation enabling reset and actuation at the exact same point, you rack up more keypresses at an insane speed—especially useful for gamers who need tap keys repeatedly.
Key Stabilzer Bar: A key stabilizer bar on the top of the switch ensures keycap motion remains level and consistent no matter which corner of the keycap you press.
Multi-Function Digital Dial with dedicated media controls: Full functionality with keyboard controls for everything from brightness to volume via a programmable multi-function digital dial with three tactile media keys. All programmable and customizable through Synapse 3.
Ergonomic Wrist Rest for ultimate comfort: The keyboard comes with a magnetic ergonomic wrist rest that snaps to fit at the front of your keyboard, and is made of plush leatherette for extreme comfort. Also features Razer Chroma enabled underglow lighting to fully complement your keyboard.

Owner's Manual

Product Manuals

Q: Are these the red or purple switches?

A: Red

Q: Your online specs list this as green switches, but the Huntsman series usually comes with Red or Purple switches. I need to make sure I order the correct one, how can I correctly tell if I'm ordering one with purple switches?

A: Linear switch is red. This picture is directly from razer's website.

Q: Is the rest detachable?

A: Yes. The keyboard hand rest is removable.

Q: Does it have a usb on the sides

A: No USB on the keyboard unfortunately. Which sucks cause to make use of the chroma, you have to use 2 USB ports.

Q: Will it come with the Razer Mouse like it says when looking on the price?

A: It did when the promotion was running. But its over now

Q: Is this keyboard compatible with Mac ?

A: Yes, it is compatible with Mac as long as the OS is Apple MacOS X 10.8 - 10.11

Q: What is the difference between RGB and Chroma backlighting? Thanks,

A: RGB is the actual lighting on the device. Chroma is the software used to control the lighting.

Q: When it’s the restock of the linear switch?

A: undefined

This keyboard is a beast.
High quality key caps and a very nice attachable arm rest that the keyboard comes with that i don't think I could go without. The keyboard also comes with kickstands in the back that I didn’t know about for the longest time until my friend came over and pointed it out for me, I thought i needed a new chair because of how flat it was, but after he propped it up everything was fine. It has full media control in the top right of the keyboard so you can rewind, pause, and skip songs or youtube videos. There’s also a volume circle thing that I don’t know what to call because I don’t think it’s a slider, but you can turn it to turn down and up the volume of your computer, or you can click the circle in the middle of it to completely mute your computer and unmute it. The keyboard lights are also fully adjustable to your choice, or if you don’t feel like doing all of that like me, the keyboard adjusts the lights itself to the current colors of your wallpaper (pictures in the review). This keyboard is on the pricey side of keyboards but it really is worth the price if you’re looking for a nice keyboard without a budget Overall a premium full sized keyboard.

Very Impressive Keyboard
I was in the market for a new keyboard and mouse. I have owned quite a few over the years starting back in the commodore era. I had recently upgraded my box so it goes in line time to change the old KB and mouse as well. I generally spend a few hours looking over the products looking at reviews, quality, specifications and then narrowing down my choices. It came down to 3 choices and since I had the Razer Headset I decided on the Razer Huntsman Elite.. I required lighted keys due to being in the way over 50 club. The thing that caught my eye was the ability to program the keypads to different colors and motions. One more thing to play with. One extra bonus was a lot of the reviews wrote about how comfortable the wrist rest was. IT is not made of plastic but rather a padded leather/ faux leather that is VERY comfortable as I discovered after a few hours banging on the keys. The wrist rest has 6 metal pins that are magnetic and that passes power to the edge of the rest and it lights up in the profile you can either download or create your own. There are thousands of profiles and the work and creativity is impressive. The unit requires 2 USB 2.0 or higher connections. There is no USB Pass thru but for me that was not a deal breaker at all. You can always add a USB hub need be. I did upgrade the keycaps as I like the ability to see more clearly. I have added a couple photos to show you how this looks. A Great deal from Best Buy!

Awesome Keyboard. Im hooked on the RGB Life Now.
This is a very nice keyboard and I love the clicking sounds it makes and how fast they key goes back up when I let go of it. The RGB lighting is a nice touch however the rgb lighting did not want to power on at first because my pc needed to install the driver software first. Then I needed to register it and add it to the Synapse software and then it finally started to light up. The Synapse software is a bit glitchy though and every time it starts up after powering up my pc, the software needs some sort of update that disables my control of the RGB lights. It takes at least 10 minutes for my pc to start working with the Synapse 3 software after the updates are done. However because of the cool RGB lighting and razer design of the keyboard, I am now getting into the RGB Life. I started with a keyboard and mouse and now I also have the Chroma Base stand V2 for my Sennheiser Headphones that I use to record music with and finalize, I also bought the kiyo Webcam after watching several pros and cons youtube videos, I also have the Chroma Mouse pad V2 version added to my Razer Collection. Next in line will be the Raptor 27! Overall I am very happy with my purchase though I feel the Synapse 3 software needs work.
