Review: Nicest keyboard I’ve owned - I’ve had a few Razer keyboards and this is by far my favorite. My first one was a Blackwidow with green mechanical keys and it was really loud and tactile. My 2nd one was a Cynosa v2 which was definitely the quietest but it was a membrane keyboard and cheap. Also the keys started peeling really quickly. The Huntsman elite is amazing so far. The keys are relatively quiet but still noticiable. I have the linear optical switches. The wrist rest is nice and plush, very useful for when I’m working. I don’t use it when I’m gaming because it feels in the way. The keys are very sensitive and have a very low activation force. It’ll take some time go get used to but In a good way. I got this while it was on deal for $119 which is definitely worth the price. If you’ve been looking between this one and the K95 or etc. Go with this.
Review: Great keyboard. Loving it - So I purchased this keyboard because my Logitech Orion Spark finally gave up on me. I’m a big fan of the RBG and i fell in love with this keyboard. The keys are so smooth , I feel like I never owned a mechanical keyboard . So different from my Logitech one. The keys are smooth as butter and although they do sound louder , it’s such a a great experience knowing that what I’m typing or clicking is registrating with every key stroke. Loving the media control and although the volume nodule sticks out , I love the fact that I can feel the wheel and know if I’m turning the volume up or down. There is macro keys on this , which makes my gaming experience all the worthwhile. The synapse 3 app is not as bad as some people made it seem. It took awhile and some tutorials to teach me how to set it up but I finally got it down packed. Although the price is steep . It’s such a great keyboard , I can’t seem to say enough about it. I do wish the lights were brighter but I’m satisfied with my purchase. Razor gives you a 2 year warranty when you register , I do not suggest drinking around this beauty. All in all a great upgrade for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best keyboard I've owned!
*by M***N on January 22, 2021*

I've used numerous keyboards in my life, I've been typing on them since I was 5 and I am now approaching 40. I must say this is by far the best keyboard I've ever owned! The chroma is important to me because I like my keyboard to both be lit and for me to be able to colorize specific keys. This allowed me to do that perfectly! They keyboard also looks sick once you get it setup with all sorts of patterns and colors. Mechanically the keyboard works like a charm.... allowing rapid response during gaming and also very well designed for accurate, speedy typing! It's also nice having the wrist-rest come with it (which also lights up once you attach it to the keyboard)... I personally keep it aside unless I'm getting tired (plus I like to have the keyboard on my lap) but definitely nice to have. Shipping was very fast (barely 1 full day with standard prime shipping) Only surprises is they keyboard is certainly heavier than it looks, with or without the rest. But its size is pretty small/average so it doesn't really matter.
