Razer RGB is really smooth and pleasing

good build quality
great design and lots of customization

find another keyboard with more RGB lighting
low actuation point can end up causing more typos than usual
No software support for Linux and macOS
lack of tactile feedback
No dedicated macro keys for MMOs
as the keyboard requires a ton of energy and losing two USB ports is a
when the display is turned off or your PC is idle
hides a few shortcomings
Elite's lack of dedicated macro keys
showed up on the keyboard made it hard to test
these key switches could last almost twice as long as pure mechanical switches
wrist rest underglow requires a second USB connection
the wrist rest has an unusual feature
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
spongy
slow responding keyboard ruining your game
Clatter away too hard
It does lack the extras of the Elite version
outdated Mac version of Synapse is a bit of a pain
the Mac version is in need of a serious update
No keyboard will be perfect for everyone
Wallet Pty Ltd is not a bank and does not offer banking services
the lack of dedicated media controls
service does not include all providers or all products available in the market
it occupies quite a lot of desk space
the infrared beams in each key are interrupted
the switch supposedly has fewer moving parts
there is no software support
optical switches have no metal contacts
the dedicated media control keys feel inferior to the rest of the keys on the
limited stabilizers to just the larger keys
this keyboard does not have that feature
Razer Synapse 3 software is also not available as of now
keyboard that you can afford a $200 keyboard
keyboard and the switches felt odd for both gaming and typing
Razer has not included the functionality lights where they normally are
is no 3. 5mm or USB passthrough on the keyboard
certainly not the first on the scene to come up with these switches
the missing USB pass-through is the one thing that
the metallic contact inside gets worn out and would sometimes get sticky (
Light doesn t come around the edges of the key wells as much
doesn t have any macro keys
Optical lights don t require as many welds and moving parts
the switches are not only really fast
keyboards have on your typing speed
the conventional Blue switches to be just a bit too stiff
The keyboard comes in a rather large box
the sticker seems to be stuck on the wrong way
Sony TV Wi-Fi No Internet Access Issue
the stabilizer bar feels like a gimmick
lack of passthrough is especially disappointing since the keyboard can hog two USB ports
Hysteresis occurs when the reset point is located above the actuation point
Synapse has grown into a bloated 240MB download
function isn't restricted to just adjusting volume
keyboards rarely put out a continuous signal
it isn t as big an upgrade as some of its predecessors
RGB light strip around the edge of the keyboard and wrist rest have been removed
Corsairs keyboard software leaves a lot to be desired
Synapse way to slow
depressing it quickly mutes audio
users can always dim or even disable the lighting
No creaking or flexing when trying to twist or push down on the keyboard
The keyboard has a slightly smaller foot print
no additional cost to you
Elite's has a row of pins along the top edge
Eye-catching
but not my favorite design

Razer Huntsman Elite Review - Smooth refinement

The board features a unique opto-mechanical switch that feels great, light and clicky, but doesn't provide any improved performance that justifies the Huntsman's premium pricing.
