Taken as a whole, however, the Huntsman V2 Analog is an exceptionally good gaming keyboard. The key switches feel smooth and responsive, and the analog functionality doesn't impact how the keys actually feel at all. The added resistance does, however, and I would consider these some of the best feeling keys I’ve ever used in a gaming keyboard. The extra key weight also helps when learning how to use its analog functions.

There is a slight 'ching' sound that comes from pressing the spacebar (which can be quite distracting) but otherwise the dampening works really well. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I averaged 119.5 words per minute (WPM) and 94.98% accuracy. That’s 1.5 WPM faster than my usual speed and about 3% less accurate. I thought I might have a greater speed boost, because the keys are so easy to actuate, but I think trepidation about accidentally mispressing slowed me down. A Hertz is a measure of how many times something is cycled every second, so a standard keyboard is polling about 67 times per keystroke. So, eight times faster gives you 536 polls per keystroke versus 67. If having 536 opportunities to capture a keystroke seems meaningful, this is definitely the keyboard for you. Your eyes still won't notice the difference though, and you probably aren't even typing at a world-record pace. Added for improved acoustics, the keyboard has a layer of special foam inside its casing which absorbs any pinging noises that might occur when you bottom out yourkeys. The Customize menu lets you assign different functions to each key and even the media controls. The scroll wheel even has three programmable functions (scroll up, down or press in). There’s a massive range of options, from launching programs and switching profiles or RGB, to macros. You can even assign mouse functions to the keyboard. And if you assign a button as the Razer HyperShift key, every key will offer an additional function when you’re holding down that key. This all equates to a massive amount of input customization, even without the analog features.We cut to a metal sphere rolling along the keyboard’s padded wrist rest, highlighting the cushion’s plush texture. Text appears: Extra plush comfort, REPOSAMUÑECAS ERGONÓMICO Speaking of cables, we really appreciate the fact that it’s removable. While Razer did it to make transporting the keyboard easier, it also means that you don’t need to replace the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL cable if you damage it. Text appears: All of this cements the Huntsman V2 as one of the best, most practical mechanical keyboards out there today. With Razer’s analog optical switches, light travels down a triangular opening in the switch’s stem. That opening widens as you press a key. A photosensor in the switch reads how much light is going through that triangle and makes an analog signal in line with how much light is detected. Adjustable Actuation Points

Corsair Dominator Titanium First Edition DDR5-6600 C32 2x32GB Review: Abundant Capacity And Performance The camera flips again and we see the keyboard being dropped into an acoustic test chamber that is lined with foam. The sturdy wrist support perfectly aligns to the keyboard to relieve pressure on your wrists, so you feel less fatigued when gaming over longperiods. As the hangar doors shut close, the space becomes shrouded in darkness, highlighting the keyboard’s Razer Chroma RGB lighting for a brief moment.This has a few unique benefits. The first is, of course, analog control. Press the key lightly, your character walks, a little harder and they jog, and harder still, they run. A car in Grand Theft Auto can cruise at half-press and go full-bore the rest of the way down. If you’re a fan of racing or stealth games, you probably already play with a controller for the more nuanced control. The Huntsman offers a similar ability, while also being able to aim with your mouse and have the rest of the keyboard at your fingertips.

It all works seamlessly except you have to install the ability to use macros into Razer Synapse before being able to use macros, even on-the-fly ones. Why it’s not already included in the first place is a mystery. Another small quibble is that you can’t record mouse movements for macros. At least you can create 5 onboard profiles that go wherever the keyboard goes.

So, unless you know how you’ll put the Huntsman V2 Analog’s pricey switches to good use, there are probably other keyboards that’ll give you more use for your money. The braided fiber cable is also there, all the way to the left side, (making it easier to snake behind your best gaming monitor stealthily than the centrally located cable in the Huntsman Elite). And while there’s no USB passthrough port or RGB wrist rest, the wrist rest has been updated from the Huntsman Elite. There’s no longer a plastic bezel going. Instead, it’s plush from edge to edge. The linear switches we tested for this review have a total travel of 4mm, s 1.2mm actuation point and require 45g of force to actuate. For comparison, Cherry’s MX Red switches have a lower actuation point of 2mm and also felt less smooth traveling down in a side-by-side comparison. El teclado tiene fundas con interior de espuma especial, añadida para una acústica mejorada, que absorbe todos los sonidos metálicos que puedan producirse al pulsar a fondo lasteclas. Razer claims its manufacturing methods allow for the “thinnest font possible on a doubleshot PBT keycap.” There’s light bleed in between the keys and a lot of light reflecting on the button of the FN row particularly at max brightness. But you can curb this by reducing RGB brightness. Analog Gaming Experience

Like most high-end keyboards, the Huntsman V2 TKL comes with a wrist rest. It’s a bit on the slim side, but it’s still comfortable. We prefer a little more cushion but this one doesn’t get uncomfortable during long gaming sessions. What the Razer Huntsman V2 does have that a lot of other keyboards don't is an 8,000Hz polling rate, like the Razer Viper 8K gaming mouse. That said, this feature may seem like a nice thing to have, but it's hardly even noticeable while you're typing away.John (He/Him) is the Components Editor here at TechRadar and he is also a programmer, gamer, activist, and Brooklyn College alum currently living in Brooklyn, NY. A better option would have been to provide detachable cables and two additional ports to prevent unnecessary connections running across the desk, though you could connect the cords together with a zip tie to tidy up the appearance. This also means you can't use custom coiled cables for a cleaner look, which might disappoint the keyboard modding community.
