  Very nice keyboard, I'm completely satisfied with this purchase. Honestly speaking i don't have anything bad to say regarding this other than that the keyboard is a bit on the heavier side but that shows the build quality !

  The best keyboard I have tried so far. I got it for 100 euros on a sale that was available on skroutz. I would have paid up to 150. The wrist rest that comes with the keyboard is magnetic and large, so it supports your entire wrist and provides a lot of comfort.

  Awesome keyboard with technology and quality from Razer, of course. However, because of this, you pay the corresponding amount. It's worth the money as someone who wants something more and will satisfy them in all areas will buy it. You admire it just because it's in the office. Amazing switches with beautiful lighting and many customization options. Amazing quality with durability and overall a well-designed and well-crafted set. Even its box is awesome and you decorate it next to your desk in your collection. It helped me a lot. And the wrist rest is useful. I am satisfied that I bought it and definitely its peripherals are among the top choices for most users, especially gamers.

  It has perfect RGB in games, the cushion is perfect, worth every penny because it's not like the old ones. Especially the analog switches are perfect. Well, let's not talk about demanding gamers, not for the simple ones

  I have been using it for over a year now. On one hand, I love it. It feels really great, and the adjustable switches are extremely convenient because you can adjust it exactly where you want it. Media keys, excellent wrist rest, good "feet," beautiful RGB (although it is not completely uniform on some keys, but you have to look closely to notice). The only downside for me in terms of construction is that the cables are not detachable (and one is Type-A while the other is Type-C, an adapter is included), and the USB port is on the left side instead of the back. Also, the RGB strip is only in the front and sides, it has transparent plastic in the back that suggests it can light up but it doesn't. Strange quirks and false advertising from Razer for such an expensive product, but minor things in the end.

  The big downside, however, is that Razer seems to not care about the quality of its software. There are many bugs in Synapse, and they are REALLY bad. Previously, when I first got it, there was a bug where you would release the button but Synapse thought you were still pressing it (the video here shows it well: [YouTube link]). The problem was clearly in Synapse because when you closed it, the bug disappeared, but without Synapse, you don't have analog keys, which is the whole selling point of the keyboard. Fortunately, this was fixed after some time, but now I am plagued by another bug where Synapse occasionally creates a new profile with default settings - meaning I have to realize that the sensitivity of my keys is wrong, open Synapse, and switch it back to my normal profile. Unacceptable and it has been here for years.

  In short, it is an excellent keyboard that you will love, but it will also give you some headaches.

  Very good operationally, however the build quality is terrible, the keyboard is not something you want to be light, so it's also plastic, you can't move it like the mouse for example, I would like a metal construction in a flagship, also the value wheel wobbles a bit, not a problem, but again I say it's supposed to be a flagship...

  After a year of use, the volume button no longer adjusts the sound as you want, but as it wants.
  The accompanying program for settings should not run in the background if you want to play C.O.D. games.
  The ability to simulate an analog controller is so small that it doesn't make sense.
  Communication with support is of the type restart, remove, install.
  I only write the negatives because you can see the rest in those who are paid to praise unfinished work.

  The keyboard is very good, but it has several problems that prevent it from being perfect.

  The feel of the keys is very good, they are heavy when pressed, which gives your fingers a workout. They are indeed difficult to press compared to the keyboards I had before.

  As it is known, these are analog keys, meaning they recognize how deep you press them, and you can program them to work as a joystick, controller, or perform two actions.

  Now, I don't know how to change the profiles on the keyboard itself.

  The keys have imperfections in the lighting, for example, some letters are not properly illuminated and appear unevenly lit, making them look dirty or damaged. A minor flaw...

  The biggest problem is that the keyboard is quite tall compared to others. The wrist rest they provide is even taller than the keyboard itself to accommodate the lights underneath, which not only makes it uncomfortable but also irritating. It also has a fake leather material, causing your hand to become hot where it rests.

  I had to remove it and replace it with another wrist rest from a different keyboard. Do they not test their keyboards for comfort?

  Additionally, the keyboard itself is very heavy, which can be both good and bad. Many times, when I'm typing, I move the keyboard slightly, and this keyboard makes it difficult.

  But the worst problem is that it interferes with any controller you have connected to the PC! This is a major issue, and there are several discussions about it online. I couldn't play my games as soon as I connected it because it somehow disables the other controllers from working in games.

  Countless restarts, four different controller-changing programs, controller settings adjustments, and one day wasted to finally uninstall all the drivers it had in the device manager just to be able to play again. The Wooting keyboard, which is a similar keyboard, has a button to do this.

  Compared to the SteelSeries keyboard, which has keys that recognize the depth of the press, the SteelSeries has very strong lighting, some keys don't work properly, it has soft keys, a good wrist rest but it collects dust, and very soft keys. It also has a built-in screen that allows you to change almost all settings without the need for software, but the software cannot make it work as an analog keyboard.

  In this Razer keyboard, the typing experience is clearly better, although the keys are heavy as I mentioned. The software is very good but takes a lot of time to program it with your games.

  In summary, in the search for the best keyboard, this is not the best.

  ----------------

  After using it for some time, I have to say that the keys are incredible - very good control, enough travel distance that you can feel it. I think it's the best keyboard I've ever had (except for the wrist rest).

  One downside is that it doesn't save anything on its own, and the program needs to run at startup to apply the settings.

  Nevertheless, I have grown to love it - much better than the SteelSeries keyboards I used before.

  Awesome keyboard in terms of typing and customization, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's worth the money. I was surprised to find some issues that I didn't expect to see in a 250 euro keyboard, such as insufficient power in the passthrough port, resulting in the inability to support external hard drives or anything that has higher power consumption than a USB stick!

  Overall for the keyboard

  After the Razer Blackwidow V3, another Razer keyboard passes through my hands. This is the Huntsman V2 Analog. Its price makes you cry, as 250 euros is a tremendously high amount for a keyboard, even if it comes from Razer, a company that has not accustomed us to low prices. What does the Huntsman V2 Analog offer and asks for gold? We will see everything in today's video.

  First of all, this particular keyboard is equipped with analog, optical switches and not with the classic mechanical ones, hence the astronomical price. Its switches are linear and you can adjust the actuation distance to suit your needs. Additionally, you can activate the analog mode where each key can perform more than one function, depending on how you press it. Apart from the excellent switches, which unfortunately are not clicky, this keyboard also comes with an amazing wrist rest that attaches magnetically to the keyboard and has RGB lighting on the bottom! The Huntsman also has similar lighting, along with fully programmable keys and a USB passthrough port.

  Just like in the analog Wooting keyboards, which were the first to offer analog-optical switches, in order to take advantage of the analog mode, it must be supported by the respective game (games that support controllers - gamepads will be compatible). How can you now use an analog keyboard in a game? Imagine the classic scenario of the W key, which is used to move the character forward. When you lightly press it, the character walks, but when you press it harder, the character's feet hit his head from the recoil.

  The build quality is superb, not that I would expect anything less from a keyboard that costs 250 euros. It has an aluminum plate that adds points, but it will also contribute to increased noise if you press the keys hard and they bottom out on it. As usual, the back of the keyboard is plastic, but of good quality, and the stands can be adjusted to two levels.

  What you will find inside the box

  In addition to the keyboard itself, inside the box you will find the wrist rest, some stickers, and the instruction manual. There is no tool for removing the keycaps and there are also no spare keycaps. Okay, they are PBT, meaning they are expensive, but include some spare ones!

  Switches

  The big difference between analog mechanical switches and classic mechanical switches is how each interprets the key press. In the latter, which are also the most common ones so far, there are only two states, 0 (not pressed) and 1 (pressed). On the other hand, analog switches offer more states as they function like the contacts of joysticks, so they inform the system how hard the user is pressing the key. This information can be useful in many games. Apart from the classic example of character running, other examples can be found in racing games where the steering can be either smooth or abrupt, and in other games where the character, after pressing the corresponding button, will either walk crouched or crawl on the ground to avoid a monster.

  The great advantage for gamers is that with the optical switches, you can easily adjust the activation distance, bringing them to your liking depending on the game. Through Synapse, you can set the activation distance from 1.5mm to 3.6mm, with the ability to adjust it by a tenth of a millimeter. Depending on the activation distance you set, the force required to activate the button also changes, from 54g for 1.5mm to 74g for 3.6mm.

  I don't have the equipment to confirm the Synapse settings, so I used the data from rtings, which states that the settings you choose have no relation to reality. Instead of 1.5mm to 3.6mm, you actually have 1mm to 2.98mm.

  Keycaps:

  As one would expect at this price, the keycaps are not made of cheap ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material or the more expensive PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), so they will not shine quickly or lose their texture.

  Software:

  Razer's software, Synapse 3, is not too difficult to use and provides many features. You can program macros for each key, adjust the lighting and colors, and create profile configurations according to your preferences. For more advanced lighting settings, you can go to Chroma Studio, which requires some familiarity to fully utilize.

  Fortunately, the keyboard has profile storage memory for up to four profiles, so you don't have to reload them every time you restart the system.

  Unfortunately, it is only compatible with Windows, so if you have Linux or MacOS, you're out of luck. There is also the option to upload your settings to the cloud, so you can access them wherever you are.

  Razer Synapse - How to assign two functions to the same button:

  The advantage of optical switches is that you can assign two functions to the same key, depending on how much it is pressed. That's why the activation distance should be at least 2.6mm. I tried assigning a double function to the W key, which is used to move forward in all games. With a light press, the character walks, and with a stronger press, it runs (Shift + W). As you can see, it's not difficult to do this through Synapse. It just takes time if you want to assign similar functions to multiple keys.

  Conclusion:

  Razer's top-of-the-line and expensive keyboard impresses with its capabilities and price. I don't know many people who would spend so much money on a keyboard, but the truth is that even the Wooting keyboards with similar capabilities are not exactly budget-friendly. On the other hand, as a large company like Razer with the ability for mass production, it would have been much easier for them to offer something at a lower price, but the company has a tradition of having expensive products and obviously didn't want to deviate from that path.

  However, the analog Huntsman is one of the best keyboards that have ever passed through my hands and will probably stay on my desk, although I hate the inconvenient connection cables that make any movement difficult. Also, because I have a large desk, I don't mind its dimensions, especially with the convenient wrist pad. If you don't have a large desk like me, it's better to avoid this product.

  The software is generally easier than that of other companies (see Corsair), but the problem here is the extra settings that the optical switches require, which make it more complicated than usual. Just take some time to initially adjust it to your liking and then forget about the software. At least that's what I do.

  The multimedia keys are convenient and personally, I don't miss the separate macro keys, although some might be helpful. Finally, the USB 3.0 port is useful, no doubt, especially for those who frequently use USB flash drives.
