Superb Gaming keyboard
Superb response, excellent clicky noise (if you're into that!), and nice RGB lighting. I only wish the software was a bit better. This is a superb gaming keyboard and it's easy to clean too. I recommend buying an electric duster for that. It's greatly responsive. The volume knob works great for me and it links up well. I just only have one complaint to Razer. Synapse could use some work. I think they need to modernize the program. Once or twice I had to reinstall because suddenly all my devices disappeared off it. I haven't had any issue since, but still, it could be a smaller more efficient program. I also wish they had one for Linux when I dual boot. Anyways, the keyboard itself is excellent. And the wrist pad is of excellent quality.

The best keyboard I’ve ever had period.
This is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned and I’ve had several before this one, this keyboard is not only super responsive but also very convenient to use like having the volume nub, mute button, skip and pause button. This keyboard feels very high quality and sturdy which is good for long term use which is perfect for those who like to game. The keyboard is super responsive The pad under the keyboard is so helpful on the wrist it completely eliminates the times where your wrist cramps or just don’t feel comfortable all around, it just solves that issue all together.

My first keyboard
I love this keyboard, my first pc and I knew I wanted a clicky keyboard. I saw this keyboard for sale and knew I had to hop on that deal, love every bit of this keyboard, from the wrist rest to the volume knob. I find myself using everything on this keyboard than I did before with other keyboards. I also forgot to mention that the keyboard lights changes on certain games like for instance on overwatch 2 it changes colors based on the character you choose, small detail but I find it really cool

This is the one
I did a lot of research before buying my next gaming keyboard. Many of the major brands, in this market offer a number of various features. But this was one of the few that had all the things I wanted. Onboard volume control. Play, pause, and skip buttons and a wrist rest that attaches and also lights up. This keyboard is sick. A little pricey, get it on sale and it’s an amazing product.

I'm not a Gamer, but I LOVE this Keyboard
As the title says, I am not a gamer. I am in mid-50s business professional who spends about 60 hours a week in front of a computer. So I went to Best Buy looking for a new keyboard to replace my old Logitech with the sticky space bar. I tried every keyboard they had in the business section and they all felt mushy and flimsy. I glanced over into the next aisle where the gaming keyboards are, and the sales rep said oh those are gaming keyboards, you probably don’t want one of those. Lured by the seductive flashing colored lights, I ignored his advice and went over and started typing on the Huntsman Elite keyboard. All I could say is WOW! The tactile feel and exquisitely wonderful clickiness of this keyboard is exactly what I was looking for. I haven’t felt a keyboard this precise since the old IBM keyboards of the 1970s and 80s. Again Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I tried a number of other gaming keyboards. All were good, but this one simply felt the best. Bringing it back to the office, installation was easy and flawless. It’s worth mentioning that it does require two USB ports. This is not a problem for me as I have a USB hub and docking station. Plugging in to the ports, my HP Spectre360 immediately recognized the keyboard and produced a welcome screen for me to download the software. The software provides a wide selection of settings and adjustments but is remarkably easy to use. As a business user, I certainly don't need all of the flashing lights, but to be honest they are so cool I could not resist setting up custom chroma profiles. Basically, you can make the lights and colors do pretty much anything you want them to do. The chroma set up allows you to build layers of lighting features in a method that reminds me of Photoshop. The one thing that my old Logitech keyboard had that I liked was a dedicated button for the Calculator app. It is something that I used several times each day. While the Huntsman Elite keyboard does not have this, I was able to create a macro and remap the pause/break key to perform this function. Took a little bit of research to figure out how, but it wasn’t difficult. After several days of using this new keyboard I am as thrilled as ever. The keys are silky smooth and have a precision that makes it a pleasure to use. One thing worth mentioning is that the keys are very clicky which I personally like. However, If you share an office with somebody, I could see where they might find the clicking to be a bit annoying. The overall build quality of this keyboard is superb. It is heavy and feels very solid. The volume control on the right side of the keyboard is perfectly placed and is very useful. I have only one complaint about this keyboard. On some of the keys that have a dual function for shift, such as the colon and semicolon, the markings on the key are upside down from the norm. The non-shift function is on the top and the shift function is on the bottom. And only the non-shift function is illuminated (see photo). It’s not a big deal as I am primarily a touch-typist, but it seems a little bit stupid. All I can say is I wish I knew but such an excellent keyboard existed years ago. I think this company should market this product to business people like me as well as gamers.
