I'm pretty surprised to see someone as tech savvy as you, not disable sticky keys after the first time.
fo real bruh
I was 8 years old when I first discovered sticky keys and disabled them. So indeed, quite shocking he hasn't.
sos I'm a tech noob what is sticky keys
I dissabled them in 2018 when i played red dead redemption 2 and there was a mission to stop a train and you had to spam shift so i dissabled it lol
@@scope7685 I thought red dead 2 came out in 2019 for pc
How the hell do you not have sticky keys disabled?!
It's like the FIRST thing to do when you install Windows!
THE FIRST!!
Thanks for that - It's popped up a few times when playing WOT (and I freak out lol), I've only encountered it recently & wasn't sure what it was - It's now Disabled 👌😁
It barely ever triggers for me so I never remember to do so.
why is that even a thing???
@@bradhaines3142 I have no idea either - must be for some productivity/muti-tasking thing I guess 😁
I manually disabled it if someone brought it up, so done.
Others: Watches reviews and buys keyboard
Me: Buys keyboard and watches reviews
???
Feel that
@MAZONI i mean, that's not a bad Keyboard to begin with
I did one better; ordered a standard gaming mechanical keyboard and THEN started looking into the keyboard enthusiast scene...
feel u homie
Just walked out of best buy and got in the car with this. Didn't even leave yet lmaooo
The production quality on this video gives me physical joy.
(Oh another note, dem skin tones)
Dont tell me you didnt notice the horrid audio clicking at the start of the video..
Bought this keyboard yesterday. The actuation is insanely sensitive it almost feels like I'm typing in a low profile keyboard (which is a good thing). The sound doesn't really bother me as much because I don't get to press the keys too hard since it's very light. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and thumbs up to razer for actually making better products now.
It’s very sensitive, but trust me you’ll get used to it
Same. Had this for months, still kind of make accidental presses, but less often. Sound isn't noticeable when you're watching something or have headphones on.
I liked that you took your time with this keyboard before reviewing it. I am glad to see that you wanted to really enjoy it before giving us your thoughts. Thank you D.
Razer finally moves away from this cringy „g4m3r“ style and actually makes good products now. I like it. Im probably gonna order this keyboard, since my ornata kinda starts to show its age after almost 4 years.
Get the ducky on 2 TKL instead. Basically same price but better build quality.
uhhh I switched to this keyboard from the Ornata and lemme tell ya...they're two completely different keyboards. If you liked how the ornata felt then I'd get the razer huntsman elite. Or at least purple switches if they ever make that available for the Tournament edition :) I returned mine after a week of use since you barely even have to touch the keys for them to register.
get steel series apex pro
@@Tomauwu the ornata isn't even mechanical lmao why r u comparing them
@@sillytap it's opto-mechanical, which is razer's fancy terminology for tactical membrane switches. They honestly feel a lot like mechanical switches, which is why I'm comparing those switches to be the most similar to purple switches. Moving from the ornata to the linear switches is a HUGE difference.
the amount of production value of this video is amazing. The shots, the composition, the camera movements, the cinematography of each shot were excellent
2 years late, but just got this keyboard lol. Excellent video, dude knows how to keep your attention and make a review visually enjoyable.
The issues you have with optical speed switches are very similar to all the adjustments people made when shifting to other speed switches from Cherry and Kailh
SLiX well at least the optical switches are buttery smooth.
@@reedtrygd4277 they press way to easily though, don’t really like this keyboard compared to the black widow
@Jack Riley I find that it was TOO easy. I like being able to rest my fingers on the keys, not right above them
@@jeffcoesk8935 I do too lol. Are all optical switch keyboards like this? I need something budget friendly too but can’t find a good one. I came across the roccat vulcan pro TKL but I feel like that keyboard has the sam problem with sensitivity
Thank you for the awesome review! I recently got this keyboard, and was a bit disappointed about how annoying typing was, and the fact that the keys were really light and accidentally pressing the spacebar is a big problem. After watching this review, I think adjusting will be no problem, and will use this keyboard for a while
Did you manage to adapt to it ? Thinking of buying it
Yes I did! It works fine, and I barely press the spacebar unintentionally or not at all anynore
Yeah I am currently having the same issue with the really high actuation point, it is super sensitive! But I will eventually get used to it, I'm sure. It is a seriously nice board, and although I'm not a huge fan of linears, these reds are tolerable simply because of how smooth they are, not even a hint of scratchiness!
I like the feel of this keyboard out of the box. Feels most like my model f. however i don't like that you need software running for customization.
I just went and picked up this board after using a membrane keyboard from Corsair... loving it so far. My first mechanical keyboard. First thing that sticks out to me the most is the response of the keys. They are sensitive as hell! I even have to be very deliberate in the way i'm typing this now to prevent typing mistakes. And look at that - the same was just mentioned around the 5 minute mark lol! Besides that i'm loving the actuation point of these keys when it comes to games. When I press a button it no longer feels like I have to damn near bottom the button out to get an input. Split second decisions in games actually matter now lol. Swapped out most of the keys with the HyperX pudding caps for the ultimate unicorn barf RGB shine through... although the clacking of the keys are louder now since these key caps are half as thin as the original key caps. The board was pretty tame in regards to sound with the default keys.
Went and picked up the Logitech 502 Lightspeed mouse alongside it and can't wait to dive into its features a bit more but that's another topic.
(And yes, part of this essay is to get a better feel of typing on this thing lmao)
PSA: In response to 5:47, you can turn off sticky keys on Windows 10 by navigating to:
Windows > Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard > Sticky Keys (or Win+U > Keyboard > Sticky Keys)
and switching the option off there.
thnks
4:26 each time he hits it my heart breaks
Why?
@@alexicalie because it sounds bad
@ did i hurt your feelings xd
You clearly have not flamed enough in League lmao
mystix_ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have the Huntsman Elite and it's a good keyboard.
But I have a few problems with it:
- The buttons are small and close to each other, it's easy to fat finger even after half a year of use. I had the Razer Tarantula previously and I never missed the buttons with that.
- The keys are extremely loud and the whole house can hear me typing.
- The keys are to easy to press, not enough counter force. I found myself pressing space or shift when I didn't intend too. I couldn't feel my fingers pressing it down.
- If you lock your PC Synapse loses it setting and the lighting goes back to default. It's annoying at night.
I used it for a little over two months before I couldn’t take the actuation anymore. I went through the whole learning curve and got used to it for gaming and typing as everything mentioned in this video. After plugging in my apex 7 with browns again it’s just such a better experience all around. I would every so often still accidentally hit keys while resting my fingers and it just gets old. I was perfectly happy with it but all it took was trying a slower heavier switch again to know this wasent for me. Sad because it’s a really nice keeb. My thoughts.
the keys do press down very easily... :(
I had the same experience. I would often find myself drifting to the left when playing FPS games due to the weight of my fingers resting on the A key. In addition, this thing is just so fucking loud when you bottom out.
@Jinto117 I love this thing because I play osu! which is a very quickly key-press game.
Jinto117 💯
thanks for the warning
I have this keyboard for around 6 months now. I do alot of typing and play alot fps games like apex, csgo, val, paladins. I even play fighting games with this keyboard 😂 First 2 weeks was really annoying because i had alot of typo and misclicks in game. But after developing muscle memory, this keyboard was the best ive used. Sound wise, not really quiet. Performance wise, its definitely a beast. Give it a try if anyone's interested
You can only hear the metal reverb on the very quiet, alone room.
I've never heard it at the office until I bring it home.
Besides, I find it rather satisfying, like pulling out a sword from its scabbard :p
I find it annoying af, it's the first mech I get that does this.
Yeah - My wife is about to throw it out the window from the sound. I'm banned from using it if she's on a conference call - hence my google march to find if there is a way to dampen the sound.
Neil MacGregor maybe a dampening foam?
I just got the Razer huntsman TE today and honestly typing with this is still pretty good! overall its the best keyboard Razer has ever made. it would take about 2 days to get used to. If ur thinking of getting as Razer keybpard, this is the best choice
Im having trouble choosing from the normal huntsman and the TE one
What would you recommend?
the weight of my fingers are enough to accidentally click any 45g switch, that being said I can only use 60g black switches.
Lim Brandon thats sad
Fat fingers... fat boy
Use a 100g sưitch then, you will feel comfortable
@@jdapoet3138 LOL
@@jdapoet3138 I personally enjoy using my 350 lb Shurnarkabtishashutu switches.
I dug a single one of these out of a disorganized wal mart with the green keycaps. Transfixing. 23 pistil-orange Additional Textured orange rubber shine through caps on the way to me, 6 green tinted rainbow stainless steel WASD and arrow keys also coming. Working on ideas for a design to paint the frame. In case u hasn't guessed, I'm going for a classy ganja theme. Probably a lagoon landscape. *Dampeners added for faster quieter strokes and it was already buttery smooth.
Ordered the fnatic 65 LP in white a week ago but i had been after this model with the green caps for a very long time and never got it so there was zero chance I wasn't buying it.
I got the TE on Black Friday this year and i love it. The only problem is i rest my fingers on keys and then they accidentally goes off which i will probably adjust to over time. I LOVE IT!
Did you adjust to it?
Dude this is just an excellent review. I've been struggling to make my mind until I saw your video.
The sound you are referring to at 4:25 is the "metal ping" also found in the Steelseries 6GV2 for example. It actually is the metal plate underneath the frame that makes that resonance sound and is a sign of a good quality (not cheaped out) and rigid keyboard.
No its not. Tell that to any keyboard enthusiast and you will be laughed out the room. It means they cheaped out on plate thickness and noise dampening in the keyboard.
@@IhsanAmin Too bad, I am. I have been building my own boards since 2016, and still have the 6GV2 mentioned. It is one of the most rigid keyboard I own simply because of the thick steel plate.
@@JohnWick-id6pk Kappa. This is a high pitched ping my guy. I have built many keyboards too... You literally have 0 clue what you are talking about.
@@IhsanAmin Upvoting yourself won't make you have a point lmao.
@@JohnWick-id6pk LUL imagine accusing someone of up voting themselves. Don't make up shit to act cool dude. I'm simply stating you are wrong. EVERY SINGLE person who knows anything about building keyboards has complained about the ping... You must be thinking of the nice thunk from a brass back-plate not this cheap Chinese shit. I love razer products and I think this is a HUGE improvement but dont go making stuff up.
good review i just ordered one. I'm normally into custom keyboards but i thought i might try something new and simple. Thanks!
I’ve been using this for a month and it’s my first mechanical keyboard. I totally know what you mean about typing errors. I’m still not used to it and I think the key switches are a little too light for me but good to know for the future.
Its not even that the keys are light, it’s the optical switch that activates super easy, but that’s why it has such a great response time. I’ve had mine for about 2 months and got used to it eventually :) try putting the feet up, I find that it’s easier to use like that
Reds suck
@@Brandonhulett I’ve already changed my opinion on this lol I love reds
@@YourLookinSick subjective.
@@anakinskywalker8958 reading is fundamental
Finally. No synapse processes running and getting blocked by security. That is a step forward. Could actually use this. Had a chroma II but had to return it as our security didnt like it connecting externally.
Is it just me or he looks like starlord from guardians of the galaxy
You mean Chris Pratt lol
he's chris pratt
Nha he's more of a groot
Ok ok I get it he’s chris patt chill pls
@@qyruz Not real but ok
I have mine in the box right next to me and I can't wait to open it. Also, you cant complain about sticky keys because you havent even disabled it.
7:00 Obviously this is me after realizing the next day will be Monday!
Man 0:39 was just creepy! But very nice vid tho XD
Love it how all the non-Windows users are complaining about Razer and trying to rally a boycott because they only make products for Windows. If 87% of your customer base uses one OS platform, you'd do it too.
I like razer so I buy razer stuff.
I have the huntsman TE and so far ive noticed:
Feels and sounds amazing to use!
Very comfortable size for me, and is fairly smal.
It is genuinely the most sensitive keyboard ever. I only need to tap the keys for them to press.
But would that cost you a lot more typos? I am buying a keyboard mainly for typing. Thanks!
@@liameneuk the biggest thing is just being able to click each key directly with the tip of your finger and make sure you don’t have you’re finger on two at the same time, if you do that no typos.
Everyone:....
The small child that came at your house: 0:40
BROOOO THIS KEYBOARD IS NICEEE
I bought this for only 100 USD AA
1:45 what is the mousepad at the time stamp? just wondering
@Easton Reese lol
I used mechanical keyboards with brown, red, and blue MX cherry switches so I doubt I would like the sound. I use only the TKL keyboards to save my carpal tunnel (this works well for me). Thanks for the review. Not too long but very informative, not the silly unboxing video and reading some specs of the box. Keep up the great work!😀
3:38 satisfaction
no. it sounds horrible
The spacebar...ewwwww
Wtf this sounds great wdym noobs
@MGaming i do, but everyone will have their own opinion on what "good" sounding is. I have a custom built pebble with Holy Pandas and GMK Modern Dulch, that sounds great to me. but I've found people that hate that sound. I however hate gaming on that keyboard. I am probably buying this to game on. These are very different areas of interests.
y’all flipping shit over sound you don’t even notice when playing it’s honestly a super good keyboard
I purchased the Huntsman TE today and can confirm the color profiles don't save to onboard memory. If you uninstall synapse it will revert to default color cycling. That's a major flaw for me!
When is the sound blaster x3 review coming? And please compare it with Sennheiser gsx 1000 and sound blaster x g6.
"if you love speed switches this is a no brainer". I've been waiting to hear this. You sold me the keyboard. Thanks!
I’ve got the razer huntsman te and I can personally say that’s it’s great my first ever razer keyboard but it’s very durable and has survived many a punch. The switches are good and responsive but
the small actuation distance means I accidentally press keys when laying my hand on the keyboard but overtime I’ve adapted to it and it happens less often. The typing experience is good But I often find ill accidentally clip a key which will type the character which can be annoying. The keys noise is sometimes annoying but most of the time I can’t hear it as I have headphones on so it hasn’t bothered me that much. Overall worth the buy just be mindful it takes some getting used to.
Sorry for typos on mobile will fix later
But why did you punch your keyboard though
I have the huntsman te too and love it typing is good but not amazing but when im not wearing my headphones i can hear a very high pitch ping on every key which is really annoying to me but i wear my headphones so i don't hear it just a minor flaw to me.
@@flashmagic1790 so you punched 129 dollar piece of tech. Congratulations... you played yourself
@@dzireg bro i get ragey and punch my 3000$ laptop every now and then, still fine.
the key is to buy shit thats built solid, then theres no worries
@@flashmagic1790 idk why but I found that really funny 🤣 I can just visualise it lmaoo
Can Razer please make an optical switch keyboard that's truly silent. I mean like, turn your volume to the MAX and cannot hear it. Want a tactile light switch that's truly silent without needing to mod a whole keyboard
I've had this keyboard for the past month. Everything outlined in the video is factual. I'm returning it because it's a bit too sensitive for me and it's LOUD.
I just got the Huntsman yesterday and my wife just commented on how loud it is.
@@brandons9138 yeah I swapped for the g915 tkl. A whole hundred dollars more (both on sale) but after living on a laptop the past 10 years, a low profile keyboard was more up my alley. The lighting options are also better on the logitech, it's quieter, tactile, and I love wireless so I feel it was worth the extra cost personally.
@@Chr15Payne My previous keyboard was only an inch thick at its thickest point. The Huntsman is over a quarter inch thicker. I'm having issues adjusting to that the most. I haven't really looked into the Logitech lineup yet.
@@brandons9138 oh yes I also had a tough time adjusting to that initially, especially since the optical red switches are more sensitive. I did get used to it eventually
@@Chr15Payne I'm still within the Best Buy return window, so I plan to make the most of that time to give it a proper shake down to see if I can really get used to it.
I'd personally miss the numpad but the thing I would miss even more is that awesome soft leather wristrest from Razer.
CheapBastard1988 razer wrist rests are all pretty poor quality tbh maybe you haven’t experienced a good one yet
They now sell the wrests separately
I love that metal reverb! Looks like a nice board, but still wanting a Wooting Two.
it is worth the money: innovative, very smooth and fast switches + PBT-Keycaps. Would buy instantly if there was a silent switch version + Software to set trigger point (like wooting keyboard), although I already have some mechanical keyboards.
I cant be the only one that thinks that the mouse is terrible looking
ya_ boi_ nugget you’re not....
Looks don’t matter only grip, weight and performance matters for a competitive mouse
@@zaibatsu8093 looks matter when its sitting on your desk :/
ya_ boi_ nugget I meant for competitive mice m8
@@zaibatsu8093 competitive or non-competitive you want a good lookin mouse
Synapse is not truly optional! (1) Almost any option or macro or key rebind requires running Synapse to function. (2) Also no Razer device can remember their RGB settings, always switching to default "color changing cycle" without Synapse running on background (and eating bunch or RAM like worst bloatware besides Asus' bloatware). (3) And the last but not least: Synapse is glitching as when you're using remote desktop software, which is kinda main stream in 2020 conditions.
I would’ve though about purchasing this keyboard if there was a tactile option
David High the huntsman or hunt men elite is tactile but has a slight click but it’s not really over the top
i like the sound of the huntsman TE more than the Huntsman because the huntsman is WAY more tinny sounding after clicking.
This was the same problem I was having. I hope I get use to it.
you probably will. I got perfectly used to it in about 2 months.
I'm a user of this keyboard and have been using it for almost 2 months. My alt key is fine, the sound doesn't bother me especially when I'm wearing headphones. I still get typing errors on it but I mainly use this for gaming.
Ugh I wish we'd see more Brown switch keyboards like this.
I'm not a big fan of blues, nor reds.
The distance between actuation and bottoming out is actually higher than "typical" Cherry and clone switches. Which seems like a massive oversight for linear switches with no tactility.
I am thinking between this keyboard and the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL. Which do you guys recommend?
Idk I bought a keyboard for 69 bucks off Amazon and it runs better then any Corsair ect brand I've had and it's wireless and has a 2.4 GHz connection
Hate to say it but get either a glorious keyboard since it's hot swappable or build your own. I had the steel series one and after break in the switches felt okay but adjustable switches are nothing more than a gimmick
Ducky Keyboard, and use Kailh switch
Please do a review on the CORSAIR HS70 PRO! I really need help to decide on buying them and I honestly trust your reviews! Keep up the amazing content and work man!
Those MX browns tho. They sound sweet
I find it wierd how no tech reviewers call out the huntsman for only having one type of switch, for obvious reasons you should be able to get the purple switches and there should be a tactile variant as well
The huntsman TE specifically comes with their new optical linear switches
Elliot Kaufman exactly it should include the original purples
WOW! Im early, love your channel bro
i love your intros... every intro i watch is soo damn goood
I love everything about it but it is way too fast for me, i had to return it. I went with ducky one 2 im in love with it 😍
For me it's so perfect, the ornata chroma was way 2 slow for me, and the Huntsman te is so perfect for me, I love it
I had a Razer Chroma Keyboard, it's a great keybord until a few years later the plastic slots that stop the key caps from falling off , break off I had to order spears . But I do love the clickyniss of the keys.
still waiting for tkl with purple switches
been using this eversince it came out. hands down for the best keyboard Razer ever released
Would you recommend this or the Razer huntsman (normal) for gaming and typing Thanks!
Dan Smith this
I have the te and elite with reds and with the abs keycaps it's pretty damn quiet honestly. I bring the TE with me when I'm gaming on the go it's great.
The purple switch in the original huntsman is superior for typing and one of the best MX style clicky switches in my experience.
@@bradhuddleson5216 Yeah, no the TE is actually not as loud as they say it is. It's not *quiet* by any means but it isn't the ear deafening level that they make it out to be.
I would definitely not recommend the regular huntsman. completely ruins the switch by forcing it to be clicky in a linear design, Also the board itself is just worse overall
Nice video!! Random question.. what kind of watch do you have?
Withings steel HR.
My keyboard: after 2 years finally a review
I call it a "hair trigger" keyboard. I'm typing on it right now. Its VERY fast and light. I make many many typos typing on it. Its great for gaming, not for typing to be honest.
Whoever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you are having an amazing morning, evening, or night.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 ❤️💞💞
Thanks you to bro
Jackal No problem!! I’m trying to spread the word so if you shared it and gave credit that would be so awesome!
Yeah sure
OhStylerr Beats ty
Its afternoon....
I will say that as someone that doesnt game as much with this keyboard it sound signature really lacks; i made it more tolerable with thick 6mm neoprene foam, some spray lubing (at your own risk) and some o-rings to decrease the plastic on plastic sound that the keys give while typing. this are the best things you can do to make this keyboard get its best sound signature.
Hi i don't know alot of that keyboard, but the o-rings can be used on it?
Yes they can it has a cherry Mx stem so yes but in person it is pretty quiet but if you want they can be used.
You can use it, but it wont make a difference. The oring works on normal switch by cushioning the impact between the Keycap and the Switch, in this case, because of the design, it wont have that effect.
Corsair red keys are honestly not bad at all the feel on them are smooth and satisfying
2:54 the key has a dirty spot on it. It's not because of the injection molding lol
I bought this, it's so damn loud! the plastic keys slamming on the plastic base make a crack! Especially the space bar. Do you all live alone with no roommates or family? Goddamn
Replaced the viper ultimate, what
Literally bought this keyboard like 9 hours ago, I love it, but the only thing that kind of annoys me is the short actuation point. I sometimes press a key without meaning to, but I guess I need more time to get used to it.
Trust me as an owner for over two months though it gets better it doesn’t go away and becomes an extreme annoyance no matter what anyone tells you. All on a sudden your moving on screen and realize your resting your finger on a key by mistake.
it’s probably too fast for your liking, lmao. These switches are mainly for gaming, so that is probably why.
@@cchrw nahh dude, I use it primarily for gaming, and I have gotten used to it. There are still some mistakes made when typing, but nothing deal breaking.
Ares Papandreou yeah, I just bought it. You’re right.
It bothers me that the only finger he uses when typing is his middle finger on his right hand!
I went back to check and wtf - this cant possibly be how he types normally ..... right guys??
I recommend you the Speedlink Orios Opto-Mechanical Keyboard with cherry made Switches.
It has an Aluminium font and individual RGB.
It costs about 70€
5:03 - 5:11 yup, that's what i had to go through as well haha.
SHACA LACA me too
lol same, but it was worth it
which is why i hated red switches...browns are better imo
I like the slight ring of the metal when the key clicks.

I had the full 10 key Huntsman. It was a thing of pure joy and luxury to touch. Loved it from its touch/aesthetics (the cold metal frame felt amazing). However two major flaws in it, the accidental button presses would drive me insane. Barely touching a key would cause it to trigger (oh no, you DIDN'T want to jump off that ledge over and over again!? Sorry!!). Secondly, it broke. Sorry but I've abused keyboards for years and never had an issue. One of my keyboards lasted me through nearly 12 years of heavy abuse (drunken Uni spills, 6 house moves, being dropped, bashed, food smushed into it) but this one was treated like nothing short of a show piece and broke after just a few months of use, like fully FU I no longer work kind of not working.
Also... don't use it when there are other people in the room (like me, sorry wife and kids) it's a bit of a di**ish move because it is extraordinarily loud. Personally I thought it sounded fab and was the reason I wanted it, for proper long haul report and book writing but it's genuinely awful for anyone else in the room.. or house.
Oh yeah.. and sticky keys on shift... EUGHHHHH
Already waiting for the M4 RGB mouse review!
I got this keyboard from my cousin
He bought a new one (different brand and switch) and gave this one to me
He said that it didn't suit his typing style
As you said, Mr. Dmitry, it is very easy to misclick/typo when using this keyboard
That metallic resonance sound grinds my gears, though I am sensitive to that frequency range.
My old CM Quickfire Ultimate has the least, with the stabilizers being an exception, I had a Logitech G Pro for a bit that I didn't like for that resonance sound, and my Ducky One 2 Mini has it but its strangely muted and has a different tone so it doesn't bother me. I was able to try the huntsman TE in store and it was like nails on a chalkboard lol
A few hours with an angle grinder and no hearing protection will fix that problem. But don't over do it or you end up needing hearing aid and then you will really learn to hate that metallic clack...
Jokes aside I totally understand your "nails on chalkboard" comment. Used to have that problem, but with age and being stupid about hearing protection, though in my case it was servers and not power tools, I've been "cured" of that. I just miss hearing a lot of the sounds I remember from my youth.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 Lol, in line with my dad telling me to rub my hands with sandpaper and harden up my keyboard hands
I wouldn't even say my hearing is that great, just seem to be sensitive in that particular range. I've dumped a fair bit into audio now and it's always the same range that blows out and stops me from going louder when everyone else I know just cranks it
Are Red RAZER LINEAR OPTICAL switches identical to LK Libra Brown?
Razer claims Actuation Point 1.5mm for Purple RAZER™ CLICKY OPTICAL SWITCH
and 1.0mm for Red RAZER LINEAR OPTICAL.
Bloody specs for LK Libra Brown (Linear) - activation point - 1.5 ± 0.5 mm.
It seems that they both produced by Dongguan Mingjian Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and are called "MJ3.0 mechanical keyboard switches".
But still it is not clear whether they are identical or slightly different for Razer and Bloody?
Even as a red user those hyper sensitive switches and the sound of the keyboard are a no-go (for me). :^(
99% sure im getting this keyboard for christmas and am super happy
1:52 where did you get a single switch?
4:14 he has more than one, probably dissected one
Got a few switches directly from Razer 👍
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks damn, i wish i could get one too
I got the Huntsman TE last month after both versions for Razer BlackWidow Chroma TE failed on me (V1 after 6 months and V2 after 1.5 years) because of dust issues. Hoping this one lasts.
Adjusting to the feel of the switches has been interesting as I was used to the Razer Green Switches for so long, and accidental keypress because of your fingers resting on the keys was definitely an issue in the first few weeks.
But overall, I'm liking this keyboard a lot more compared to the BlackWidow TEs I had, and I've actually grown to like the sound since it's a lot quieter compared to the Razer Green switches and I'm sort of getting used to not hitting the keys too hard because of the low actuation force required (I'm a software engineer so have to do a lot of typing).
@UzEEInc how is it now? Did you get used to the actuation force?
@@theendurance it's working great so far. I'm a developer so I type a lot and the actuation force often leads to typos. And in games I still sometimes find me self drifting in the wrong direction because I was resting my finger on a movement key.
But I have more trouble now when I use a keyboard with clicky switches, so overall I'm happy with it.
Anything louder than Cherry MX Silent Red is too loud for me.
Quettesh Check out Outemu Silent Sky and Linear
Check out lubed healios
pbt keycaps, pretty clean design, standard bottom row are great, price is decent, but boy is it loud/noisy..
Overal it's a nice improvement over their past boards imo.
The sticky keys thing is your fault for not having that disabled yet...
hyperx alloy origins core review?
up
huh a new hyperx keyboard?? I love them
Epic review as always!!
I don't think razer had a gamer font for years now lol
i think they switched designers with crosshair
looks nice. wish everyone would start making raised cases without a floating key design.
I actually find the brightness really weak. The weakest from any keyboard i have ever owned.
Matthew Messier it’s pretty horrible I fed the same lol
I still use this keyboard for competitive gaming, 10/10!
That mouse gives me trybophobia
spacebar is pretty bad, it does'nt work if you press on the left or right of it, the space enters into account if you press it in the middle !
Using one right now. This isn't true.
