Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The price tag was rather difficult to stomach, but after over a month of use, I feel that it's well worth it. The switches are fairly light, clicky (quite loud, actually), and feel very responsive; I can't say if their opto-mechanical switches are faster than something like a Cherry MX speed switch, but typing and gaming on this keyboard are always satisfying. The wrist rest makes typing and gaming feel very comfortable, although if you wear a wristwatch of any kind the leatherette padding can push the band into your skin. The lighting is fabulous, as can be expected from Razer, and the overall design is very nuanced and elegant. My only gripe is with the media control buttons: in Windows 10 Home, the preset keybindings don't do anything (though I've only tried to use them in Spotify and the Windows default video playback software); even if I could use them, the shallow keypress is pretty disappointing and doesn't live up to the delightful tactile feel of the rest of the keyboard. The media wheel isn't as offensive, mainly because it does its job, but neither it nor the mute button on top feels good to use.

Excellent keyboard. I love the purple switches (they are akin to Cherry MX blues, tactile and clicky), they are super responsive due the optical switches (it uses a beam of light to actuate, nothing faster than the speed of light!). The wrist rest is among the best I've had (I've had Corsairs K95, Fnatics etc), and this is definitely the comfiest one, its supper padded! It also has RGB! The only two cons are, for the price, they should have used double shot PBT keycaps, not cheap ABS plastic (but I was able to solve that by using Hyperx's double shot PBT caps set, only 3 keys did not fit as you can see on my pic, but all the other ones did without any fuzz). And second, no USB pass through. Those are the only cons. I was able to snag it on sale for about $50 less, that allowed me to get the PBT keycaps.

This keyboards armrest is extremely comfortable. I love the clicky noise it makes. The color changing is so cool and pretty!

Easily one of the best gaming keyboards you can get. I've had a total of three Razer keyboards. The first was one of the early Black Widows, the second was an Ornata V1, and this Huntsman Elite being my most recent. From my experience with these three keyboards, the Huntsman Elite has been the most pleasant. Granted, being an elite version gives it some inherent pros that basic editions don't have -- dedicated media buttons (i.e., pause, FFW, RWD, and mute buttons), a volume wheel, and a wrist pad (though the basic Ornata comes with a wrist pad too, so this pro isn't exclusive to Elite editions). What the Huntsman does have that (to my eye) is objectively different and better than other Razer keyboards I've had is listed below: - Better keyboard design. Other keyboards are all susceptible to getting crumbs/dust in the keys, but the Huntsman doesn't have this issue. Generally, keyboards have "depressions" (for lack of a better term) that the keys go into which allows dust and crumbs to accumulate. Meanwhile, the Huntsman's keyboard is solid with no depressions - Better build quality. Every other keyboard is usually made of tough plastic, but much of the Huntsman is made of metal except for the keycaps and media buttons - Better RGB lighting. Since the Black Widow is an older keyboard, its lighting was definitely less bright and pleasing. Though, the Ornatain terms of quality of the lighting, are on par with the Huntsman. Where the Huntsman shines is in how many places it's lit up. Its wrist pad and the bottom of the keyboard is lined with an RGB strip that gives an overall more "deluxe" look In terms of the actual keys' quality, I don't have the perceptive ability to notice much of a difference in terms of latency or anything like that. Generally, from all the Razer keyboards I've had, they've all been good with similar quality. Sound-wise, the Black Widow had that "OG", loud mechanical keyboard sound, the Ornata was definitely the quietest (something I really liked personally), and the Huntsman is somewhere in between the two. The only reason I'm giving this 4-stars instead of 5 is because of the sound of the keys (which is purely a personal preference; objectively speaking, the Huntsman is a 5-star keyboard). If the keys sounded more like the Ornata's I'd personally give this 5-stars. Again, this is a personal preference, objectively a 5-star. Note: Razer is VERY iffy with their quality control. I've never had a bad keyboard from them, but maybe I've just gotten lucky. However, I've had quality differences with their headsets and mice ranging from simple exterior build problems (i.e., peeling rubber linings) to hardware problems (i.e., scroll wheel perceiving a downwards scroll wheel as an upwards one and headsets no longer playing sound). This isn't a dealbreaker for me personally, because I can always return faulty products, but this is something consumers should be aware of before purchasing from Razer.

Upgrade from me from Blackwidow Chroma, which lasted me quite a few years. This keyboard is less bulkier my last Razer keyboard, and that I can easily clean out the keys when needed. My last Razer keyboard was replaced due to keys doubling up when typing, and some of them not registering on the keypad. I got it after the holidays when it was priced under $90, totally worth the price. I also enjoy the fact that the wrist rest lights when attached.

This is hands down the BEST keyboard I’ve ever had! They keys are not 100% mechanical, but they give you enough click and key travel to satisfy your mechanical desires. The chroma rgb software adds a great glow to any setup. The extra rgb on the wrist rest is what made me choose this keyboard over all of the others.

bought this back in 22 and still best keyboard ive used and still using today!

I recently did a AMD Ryzen 9 build and this keyboard was my choice. I went with this keyboard and I'm happy I did. Razer spared no expense on this one. The keys are really light, with the clicking sound, and the Chroma lighting is really nice. The armrest is really soft and comfortable. I'm a video creator and the shortcut keys are a big help considering I can set them as shortcut keys. I'm new to Razer and between this keyboard, and the Ultimate Balisk wireless mouse, production will be much easier and quicker.

This keyboard looks sick!! I ended up getting custom keycaps for it, but the keybard works incredibly well and the dials come in clutch when I don't want to switch apps on my screen

Although I ragged on my brother for his purchase of this keyboard, it wasn’t until I used it myself that I understood why people like this so much. This is bar none the best built keyboard I’ve ever used. Every key press feels direct, but controlled. Also the ability to control the RGB is a feature I didn’t think I would like as much as I do. To sum it up, it’s a keyboard that feels right and makes me wonder why I didn’t have this at home sooner.

ABSOLUTELY love this keyboard man , it’s premium looking without a doubt in person and in picture , super sleek look and the rgb around the entire keyboard is so nice as much as I would say from a financial standpoint to save 50$ and go to the black widow keyboard I can’t , this one is just to clean with the rgb glow around the keyboard for my taste , nice feel to it , wish I do wish however that the palm rest was a better quality for the price but oh well . Favorite peripheral by far

The best keyboard I have had hands down. Been gaming for many years and all I can say is I wish they had this when I first started, sure am pleased it is available now!

Wow, I'm sure there is still room to spend more on a keyboard, but for me Wow, clean and Bold just beautiful. The Program is complicated at first, but there is so much you can do. The wrist guard is super comfy and Lights up Duhhh.

This is the best keyboard I’ve had. I love the sound and feel of the “clicks” keys and I like how I can adjust the lighting to any color I want. Also the wrist pad is a huge plus

Good keyboard. Nicely build. Very clicky and comfy.
