If you like your clacky keyboards, Razer’s new Huntsman is going to be right up your street. This thing is LOUD. Much louder, I’d say, than any other keyboard I’ve tested so far, and I’d probably even go as far as saying it’s clickier and clackier than the Cherry MX blue switches found in mechanical...

In an extravagant ideal world this responsive gaming keyboard would by my second string slab, held over purely for gaming. Because for everything else it's a source of potential frustration.

Tenkeyless keyboards, or those without a numberpad, have always been my go-to keyboard format, whether it’s for work or play. I don’t deal with a lot of numerical data in my daily work, so the smaller footprint helps keep my desk just a bit more clutter-free.

The Razer Huntsman is my go-to gaming keyboard. One thing that might not be for everyone is its size – it’s huge! Enter: The Razer Huntsman Mini, a 60% keyboard with all the Huntsman optical key goodness.

I looked into keyboards for quite a while before I made a decision so had a pretty good idea what I was getting into. The one thing that was mentioned by Razer is how little travel there is to activate a key press but you don’t truly know how sensitive one is until you use it and I can say for sure...

There are some really big pros and really big cons to this keyboard that will mostly be subjective. Pros: VERY smooth switches, really nice to game with and a good typing keyboard in my opinion. This keyboard is small and is perfect for me because i have a relatively small desk.

The keys feel great to press and respond almost instantly compared to what I'm used to. The only downside is it is very sensitive to presses. Very little force is required to activate a switch. Can be a pain while typing.

I have been using a large gaming keyboard with the 10-keys and it was cramping up my mouse pad area so I decided to go with this smaller one. It feels amazing and to me isn't all that noisy unless you are slamming the keys.
