Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have bought a lot of mechanical keyboards over the last 10 years. Cherry MX Green, Blue, Red and speed. Up until ~ 5 year ago I was convinced that MX Red were my favorite then the Speed, BUT these Razer Optical Linear (Red) switches are great I owned 4 K95 keyboards and had to keep returning them from bad workmanship. So I gave this a shot and love it. I have to say that this finally does it all correctly. It's very fast, its very customizable, and I am typing work faster than I ever have. Gaming is great in it too... I can execute commands instantly in any game and very rarely mistype or fat finger it. There is room to improve. Razer needs to let you save your lighting profiles to the keyboard. You cannot do this, even in 2020. The keycaps are not double shot and the secondary functions on keys do not light up because they are the bottom of the keys and the switches light at the top. They need to fix this as well. BUT for $29 bucks you can get Razer Doubleshot PBT Keycap Upgrade Set for Mechanical & Optical Keyboards: Compatible with Standard 104/105 US and UK layouts - in Black, Pink, Green, or White.

Feels nice and solid, only gripe is that it is a little tall.

If you are looking for a phenomenal key board, that is mechanical and has the awesome color changing..this is it. I purchased this for my son, who loves this key board. The Sound controllers on the keyboard are also very very useful.

If you are a MAC user, this isn’t the keyboard for you. Software isn’t compatible....yet....however the keyboard labels it for use with Apple products. Don’t be mislead, the keyboard will work and glow but you won’t be able to customize any keybindings, colors, or macros.

The is an awesome keyboard and works great with RGB and other Razer products. It costs a bit more than other keyboards but worth it and I have had zero issues.

Very nice keyboard for gaming. The wrist rest is very nice and I like the feel of the keys. The lighting is changeable for all the keys. Software works well once you figure everything out. Probably the best keyboard I have ever owned.

Keyboard feels great and looks great. The hand rest is one of the sturdiest I've ever seen including with a keyboard. Normally I just remove them and forget them. The optical keys are great too. Very light to the touch but they still feel substantial. They do have a slight rattle despite the extra support they appear to have underneath but when I say slight I do mean slight. I don't feel unstable on the keys but it's there. It's a minor flaw but notable given the price range. Everything else about this keyboard feels premium and solid though. I don't regret getting it. I'm not sure if I consider these switches better feeling than traditional cherry switches but they're a worthy competitor and I'm a fan of the benefits of optical.

Lighting is excellent but requires Synapse to be running. Keys quickly register input with little downward press required. This leads to faster response. Wrist rest is also very comfortable.

I love this keyboard. The keys feel great and the RGB looks great. It’s definitely overpriced and there are keyboards with more bang for your buck but I think this keyboard is worth it.

Really great keyboard, it's highly responsive and incredibly precise. So many different customizable options for the RGB too! The magnetic wrist pad is SOOOOOO comfortable!

Although there is a learning curve to a linier and laser switches. I got this on sale and it is definitely worth the price.

An amazing keyboard. Key actuation is smooth and quick. Was a little tricky to get it working with Razer Synapse 3 at first. How to look on Google on how to run a repair repair on Razer synapse so it would recognize it as a keyboard. Having to use two USB ports one for the keyboard the other for the lights is a little annoying. The wrist rest is just about perfect. I think my only qualm with it is that the backlighting only lights the letters, that doesn't light all the symbols on each of the keys or on the media buttons.

Feels great the wrist pad is fantastic it does take a little getting used to coming from the clickty clack of keys but man it's sooooo smoooth.

It’s a good item, I like it very much, Razer has been always my choice of gaming gears, never disappointed on them.

I switched to this from the very clicky Huntsman. Best decision ever! BUY THIS KEYBOARD, YOU WON’T REGRET IT!

recipient was very pleased with the Huntsman Wired Gaming Razer Linear Optical Switch Keyboard with RGB Back Lightimg.

Really good product good arm rest, the rgb lights are awesome, only thing is the key is really sensitive

I'm not sure what kind of hands you need to use this keyboard but mine aren't the right kind. The wrist rest would be nice if it didn't have a somewhat sharp and cold metal frame around it that your wrist digs into. The keys are also quite a stretch to reach for smaller hands. I really wanted to like it but I played a few games of halo to test it and it just felt awkward coming from a corsair k70. You may like it but personally it didn't work for me. The keys do sound nice and are pretty quiet if you're just using WASD. But they feel a little too soft. I had the linear silent switches.

Only downside is that you have to download their software to adjust keyboard lights. I’m using wth a work computer and can’t do that.

Keyboard is great to use for typing and gaming. Like the fact that linear-mechanical keys are are not that noisy compared to the opto-mechanical keys which I had before this keyboard. Returned the the other keyboard for this one and very happy with it also do not forget to register at the Razer website for the warranty and Bestbuy is a authorized resellar for Razer.
