Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition Linear Optical Switch Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-12-08

After trying out the keyboard in CS: GO, Borderlands 3, Halo: Reach and Darksiders 3, we were quite impressed by the insanely fast actuation speed this keyboard is capable of. While this aspect is very good in competitive gaming, we found ourselves pressing some keys by mistake at times so definitely the new switches need some accommodation time. Due to very fast actuation speed, we are reserved to recommending this particular keyboard for typing purposes, an aspect the Apex Pro keyboard could perform as well in good conditions thanks to the adjustable actuation distance.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

With the Huntsman Tournament Edition keyboard, Razer is proposing a model aimed towards professional gamers that has a very fast actuation speed and is quite light/portable, an ideal aspect when frequently gaming on-the-go. This keyboard does pack Razer’s Linear Optical Switches for delivering 1mm actuation and instant response from every keystroke. Thanks to the optical implementation of these switches, the durability has been raised to up to 100 million keystrokes, which is quite an achievement! Besides the switch aspect, Razer is also using doubleshot PBT keycaps with this model, which hold up really well during intense use and present themselves with a tough, textured finish for a better grip.
