Razer Huntsman V2 Gaming Keyboard, Analog Optical Switches, Black | Adjustable Actuation, Rapid Trigger Mode, Dedicated Media Keys & Dial, Chroma RGB Lighting, Magnetic Plush Wrist Rest

This is one of the best keyboards I have ever used. The keys are actually pretty quiet with exception to the space bar. For some reason the rest of the keys make a nice thock sound similar to popcorn popping but the space bar has a very loud thud sound to it. Other than that I love the way this keyboard feels and sounds. The rgb is on the dim side for a razer keyboard, however it is normal for every other keyboard and brighter than most. The keys have a really nice texture to them and the overall typing experience is smooth. You can adjust the actuation points on the keyboard and assign them to different profiles that you can then cycle through manually on the keyboard. I have mine set to 3.0 in typing mode and 1.5 in gaming mode. I had a razer blackwidow v4 with yellow switches but I returned it for this keyboard and I couldn't be happier. The blackwidow felt premium but this keyboard takes it to a whole different level. Better wrist pad, better quality of keys, and an overall better build keyboard than the blackwidow v4. I will keep this keyboard for as long as it lasts. Considering my keyboard before the v4 was a ornata chroma that lasted me almost 7 years i'm sure this one, which is build much better, will last longer. If you like the way mechanical keyboards feel and you don't mind the thocky noise than this is the keyboard for you. I can't think of any other keyboard on the market besides the huntsman v3, which has more features but the quality isn't as good, that has this much functionality. This is a $250 keyboard that can commonly be bought for under $140. Definitely worth the purchase.

Been looking for a keyboard that would be easy to use, last long and be comfortable. This one was the one. I didn't realize how much easier this is to type on until I got it. The keys are easy to press which makes it feel like the keys are floating. I work on a computer all day and thought I'd try a better keyboard than what I was using. And it's really worth the money! I'm not a gamer but this keyboard is perfect for everyday computer users. Great purchase! Keys are super responsive, the letters on the keys appear like they'll last but we'll see. It dies have backlighting which is pretty cool. Lots of options on this one!

I’ve used a lot of mechanical keyboards, but the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog is in a league of its own. The standout feature is definitely the Analog Optical Switches. Being able to adjust the actuation point for each key is a total game changer I can set a hair-trigger for competitive shooters or a deeper press for typing to avoid mistakes. The build quality is premium; the PBT keycaps feel great and don’t get that greasy shine, and the magnetic wrist rest is actually comfortable for long sessions. The Rapid Trigger mode also makes a noticeable difference in responsiveness.It’s definitely an investment, but if you want the most customizable and responsive keyboard on the market, this is it. Highly recommended! Durability is great , easy to set up, connection is simple nice weight to it as well and at $100 it was a great value for the price. Rating 5 out of 5

It’s a 50%50 gamble buying used, the keyboard itself works good but there are a few problems the RGB wrist rest doesn’t light up the RGB on Keyboard itself is dim even after adjusting it and the volume knob not working properly.

Very good keyboard and easy to keep clean. I have had it over five years I think and it still works well.

Update: I'm updating this review because of an issue I thought I could fix but apparently not. The moment I plugged in the Huntsman v2 Analog Keyboard I started experiencing loads of issues! Mainly with my mouse which was also a razer and working completely fine before I plugged this demonic keyboard in. I've experienced: - Scroll Wheel of mouse randomly activating window resize. Letting the system idle for a few seconds corrects this. - Caps Lock key randomly engaging without being pressed. - Mouse Left Click sometimes engaging a shadow Left Click + Shift. Example: I'll be in discord and left click a DM or server and it'll open up discord in a web browser as if I had pressed Shift + Left click instead. Letting PC sit idle with no mouse/keyboard interaction makes it stop. - Highlighting Text engages without holding left click and dragging. No way to get out of this unless I minimize/click out of the window and let it idle for a few seconds. - Maximizing a window from the minimize on the task bar will sometimes want to reboot the program/browser into a new boot/window. Will do this several times until I let my system idle for a few seconds. The video shows just one of the issues that continues to persist at random intervals on my PC since I've gotten rid of the Huntsman v2 Analog Keyboard. Despite no longer owning this keyboard these issues persist! Even with several different mice and 2 different keyboards! I have plugged into ever single USB port on my PC and no matter where they go the issues continue! I even did a SYSTEM RESTORE! And the issues remained!! The Huntsman v2 Analog Keyboard absolutely ruined my PC! I feel like my last hope is a Drive Reformat to try to destroy this mess once and for all. I am NEVER trusting another Razer keyboard again! ------------ I had this keyboard for about 2 weeks or so and have decided to return it. Apparently having the Razer Synapse App enabled and open with this keyboard will sometimes result in "Repeat Ghost Text" which causes the last few things you typed to reappear in your line of typing. It is an extremely frustrating ordeal. According to users posting on Razer's own support forms on their official site, this issue with the Huntsman V2 Analog has been a known thing for 6+ months with ZERO fixing from the developers nor updates on what is causing it or when a fix might roll out. If you don't mind not being able to customize anything about this keyboard then its a perfect fit for you.

I was looking for a keyboard for Helldivers 2, as the game will benefit from mechanical keyboard with macros - and I'm glad I bought this one! It feels premium, sounds great and function fantastic, even though its been recognized as 'Game Controller' and not a keyboard. The adjustable actuation and Rapid trigger is fantastic and beneficial in competitive online games and the macros wotks great. The only downside I can think of is the required Razer Synapse application which is 'demanding' and won't make it easy on weaker systems, but on mine which is based on i7 14700kf+64gb ddr5+rtx4080s it's obviously pretty much has no affect whatsoever - but still, when the Synapse isn't running in the background your custom RGB and basically everything you configured (macros, profiles etc) won't work and it'll function as a 'regular' keyboard.

I am an absolute keyboard nerd, so fair warning that this review is from that perspective. I work in IT and also do professional writing, so I use this keyboard for programming, writing, and gaming. I deeply enjoy the V2 analog, but there are some glaring issues. The CONS: #1 - The software. Mentioned in every negative review, the Razer control software is horrible. I do not use the RGB and additional features, so I simply uninstalled it after a week. However, this absolutely is a reason not to purchase this or any other Razer product. Honestly, it's the company's largest complaint, and they have no plans to fix it. For context, it draws 1.3gb of active use memory whenever the software is running, and it has to be actively running to do any keyboard controls. So unless you're dedicating an entire stick of RAM just to use your keyboard... just don't bother with the software. #2 - durability. I have put about 800k words through this keyboard per year, but I'd probably estimate with key presses for gaming and other work, that's almost double. Almost certainly 2M on the WASD alone per year. That's a lot, but to be expected of a heavy use machine. Unfortutnately, that means that the RGB control on the 'D' has gotten out of synch. The wrist rest is starting to peel (I wear a watch which seems to have done a fair bit of damage. The volume control is absolutely destroyed (something I don't use a lot, so that's a major durability issue). I don't use the volume control all the time, but it only worked for about a year before having problems that eventually devolved to not working at all. Now, for a basic keyboard, I'd be replacing it every year, but I'd expect a $200 keyboard to last a bit longer than 2.5 years. #3 - Some basic design problems. The wrist rest is magnetic and has RGB as well, which is cute, but I find myself always disconnecting it. The pass-through-USB is on the left side of the keyboard, a place that's up against the tray of my desk. The media controls feel like regular MX keys or even a rubber dome key and doesn't fit with the rest of the quality. The PROS (and why I've bought a 2nd one): #1 - the sound, sensitivity, tactile feedback. I love the sound and feel of this keyboard. The optical electric sensors are incredibly sensitive and have deep response for key depressions. You will, however, end up accidentally pressing some keys when first getting used to it. It is INCREDIBLY sensitive (being a laser optical switch after all). If you're used to hall-effect switches, this will be more sensitive but of a similar response. If you're more used to Cherry-MX, this will be a big step up for you. The sound is wonderful, sounding more like the 90's IBM or Packard Bell boards with that nice high pitched chunky click. This would be a great keyboard for doing foley sound effects for film. #2 the function - while it's not as durable as I'd like, honestly, it absolutely holds up under the massive amount of work I put through it and does everything I want. I'm getting a replacement after only 29 months of use, but that's 29 months of heavy use. It's also half the price that I originally paid, so that's probably why I'm going back and not playing around with something even higher end. This is a great keyboard for someone looking to upgrade from CherryMX or to have a solid workhorse of a peripheral that will absolutely meet their gaming needs.

amazing

Hablemos del elefante en la habitación. El ruido del teclado si existe, pero es menor a comparación de un teclado mecánico con switches mx azul. Si practicas y ajustas el nivel de actuación del teclado puedes inclusive reducir el sonido al mínimo. Pues al ser analógico puedes escribir sin necesidad de presionar toda la tecla, es difícil pero posible. Si lo usaras para juegos, lo vas a amar. La app te permite ajustar varios sets para iluminar las teclas dependiendo del juego que estés corriendo. Lo que te ayudará a localizar las teclas más usadas, o agruparlas por funcionalidad gracias al color. Inclusive ya existen set por default para algunos juegos. Viene en idioma inglés, lo cual para mi es ideal para el trabajo, la ñ la puedo escribir presionando alt+n. Los botones multimedia son compatibles hasta con YouTube y Spotify.

After trying 5 keyboards Razer Huntsman V2 Analog is the best choice for programming (I did not try it for gaming). The ability to change the actuation threshold made a big difference in my typing accuracy. The expense is well worth the experience.

It's a great keyboard. Specially for pro gamers. The wrist pad has a underglaze light which stopped working after just 5 days of use. Tried firmware update and restting the keyboard but to no use.

Very high quality and cool gaming keyboard. Very customizable as well.
