Questions & Answers

Is it possible for the wrist rest to be angled downward? My computer desk slopes downward by about 5 degrees toward the front. ?

In short, yes. Due to the magnetic connectors on the wrist rest, you should be able to do so.

There is a bit of a contradiction in the title, in the images it shows a complete linear optical keyboard. Would that be a complete linear optical keyboard?

In short, yes. It is the Razer Huntsman Elite that offers a complete keyboard (this has a linear optical switch), but the Razer Huntsman Mini comes in a

Can the keycap be removed using the keycap puller that is included?

There is no keycap puller included with the Razer Huntsman Elite.

Do you prefer typing fast with a linear, optical, or clicky keyboard?

The key input may be coming from the clicks, as you can feel it during the click. This means that the button does not need to be pushed to the bottom.

Selected User Reviews For Razer Huntsman Elite Gaming Keyboard: Fastest Keyboard Switches Ever - Linear Optical Switches - Chroma RGB Lighting - Magnetic Plush Wrist Rest - Dedicated Media Keys & Dial - Classic Black

There are ways to make this keyboard affordable, but it's way too expensive for it to lack some I give it a 2 out of Despite its sleek and clean appearance, it seems very sturdy
3/5

Furthermore, it's very well built. When I plugged it in, I was completely blown away with how good it looked. As someone who uses the same wireless keyboard for the past 10+ years (Logitech KB 315), I'm inclined to agree. In other words, this is a major upgrade. It works great, I have the linear optical switches, and let me just say this - it works great! Change would never be the same as the old mechanicals, I assure It can be registered with a single light tap of the keys. The more time I spend going back and correcting my typing mistakes, the more I'm spending going through every word again. You're not going to like that. Also, not all symbols on the keyboard light up, which is something I do not like. For example, the ampersand, dollar signs, apostrophe marks, or pretty much any other symbol that is supposed to be lit up with the number keys or number row isn't. There is illumination for the numbers, but not for A VERY BAD situation. There's no passthrough port to plug in a mouse or other peripheral. And the last thing I don't like is that there's no DVD drive. At this price point at least one port should be available. Next, I don't much like the Synapse 3 software because the interface is not easy to navigate. My professor gave me this book for 48 hours and I've had to watch a few Youtube videos to get the gist. There is a second issue. It does not connect to Google Home, it does connect to Alexa, but not to There are no macro / aux buttons in the keyboard, so your calculator is lost. I don't feel that way. It feels good on the wrist but it feels as though if I wear a watch, I will cut the wristbar. I love the softness of the material. The negatives are listed above, and the positives are enough to make up for them. I like how the wristband illuminates, it works with Philips Hue, and it is very programmable. 1.

3. A rating of 2 out of 5 is given. It should not be possible to find any Negatives at this price.

It is the best keyboard I have ever As I approach my 40th birthday, I will have used numerous keyboards in every phase of my life
5/5

Since I was 5 I have been typing on them. By far, this is the best keyboard I have ever had! I value the chroma both because I like my keyboard to be lit as well as because I can customize specific keys according to my taste. As a result, I was able to accomplish that beautifully! When you set them up with all sorts of patterns and colors, they are also pretty cool looking. As far as the keyboard is concerned, it works as intended. This allows for rapid and accurate typing during gaming, as well as quick and accurate response during gaming! Furthermore, the wrist-rest that comes with it (which turns on once the keyboard is attached) is incredibly handy. keep it aside unless I'm getting tired (plus I like to use the keyboard on my lap), but it is nice to have.

Shipping was very fast (barely one full day with standard prime shipping).

I have hyperbolized the problems with linear switches in the most extreme manner
3/5

According to the video review written with the junky Dell keyboard, this keyboard was exactly the same as the one used in the video review. This keyboard requires such a low amount of force to operate that it can cause strokes at the mere thought of resting your fingers as you await the next letter. Aside from giving no feedback as to what you have actually pressed, this keyboard has such a brief travel distance that it could cause a stroke. As far as I know, linear switches are meant to provide no feedback, but you can also opt for tactile or clicky options. When you combine minimal force with minimal travel and give zero feedback, you end up simply pressing keys that are resting on other fingers, reducing the feel of your motion. I can see this keyboard being great for someone with very small and light hands, but I don't think the average adult would be able to type well on it. In my case, I am able to maintain 140*160 wpm with 99-percent accuracy A standard keyboard can offer 100% accuracy. With this keyboard, you'll need a power supply and a lot of practice to reach that. I managed an absolute best speed of 206wpm in a very short test with it. As many of my attempts ended in catastrophes due to typo errors, it took me about 30 attempts to get that. As a result of my typos, I was unable to pass the 156 wpm challenge with captcha text, making it impossible to even count the test. There is no doubt that those who call this a gimmick are absolutely correct. You know, the good ol' Razer pumps out specs to market You may also have fun with the fact that you are always forced to not only install but also keep running their software. In case you do not own their "Synapse 3," you can download it here. When you have "0" software installed and running, your keyboard will always default to spectrum cycling, also known as On their website, they advertise There is actually "board memory" in it, but it does not even interact with Synapse, so it cannot even load the profile. Additionally, in order to access the software you will need to create an account. Yes, what a joke that is. **TL **BR **BR**TL**BR** It is likely that you will lose five types This phrase is accurate to 20 percent. It will make you wonder if you pressed the right key and you could even press the wrong key if you rest on the wrong keys. It feels like you're flashing or ulting on League of Legends because the air hit your keys and you yawned. Additionally, you will need to install, log in with an account, and keep their software running at all times unless you like rainbow waves.

It is uncomfortable to have the key at this angle or height
3/5

My previous Blackwidow Chroma V2 was outdated. I wanted to upgrade to this. There is a shallower angle on the Huntsman Elite, while the key height is somewhat I was forced to rest my fingers on the corners of the WASD keys because of this. Space bar users were especially annoyed by this. Keycaps for the Blackwidow are the same as for the Huntsman Elite, however, the angle of the keycaps on it makes them uncomfortable. My wrists ended up resting on the hard plastic corner since the padding is thin and doesn't cover far enough to the outside edge of the wrist rest. Using the wrist rest was impossible because the wrist rest was extremely uncomfortable. There's a very nice actuation point on the key switches, and they're especially nice to use when it comes to In the end, though, the ergonomic issues make the keyboard uncomfortable to use for any length of time. If the switches were the same as the Blackwidow keyboard, then I would have kept the Huntsman Elite, but I returned it and returned to the There should be another Razer keyboard with their optical mouse soon Form-fitting mechanical switches that are more comfortable to use.
