This is the keyboard you've been looking for, whether you are a gamer, writer, programmer, student, or anyone else who needs typing precision.The mechanical action provides the perfect amount of feedback, and the light-display is both functional (for those late-night keyboarding sessions) and aesthetic (the colors even rotate in the correct "ROY G BIV" order...).You will find few sounds more pleasing than the distinct click of the keys on the sturdy construction of this board, and the customization options are well-nigh infinite for any application you can think of, with full button-mapping capability and macros for the single-stroke execution of multiple button combinations. The inclusion of a volume-dial in the corner (with push-button mute) is a feature I ... MoreThis is the keyboard you've been looking for, whether you are a gamer, writer, programmer, student, or anyone else who needs typing precision.The mechanical action provides the perfect amount of feedback, and the light-display is both functional (for those late-night keyboarding sessions) and aesthetic (the colors even rotate in the correct "ROY G BIV" order...).You will find few sounds more pleasing than the distinct click of the keys on the sturdy construction of this board, and the customization options are well-nigh infinite for any application you can think of, with full button-mapping capability and macros for the single-stroke execution of multiple button combinations. The inclusion of a volume-dial in the corner (with push-button mute) is a feature I didn't know how badly I needed until I had it!Finally, the cushion it comes with is like a cloud for your wrists, and attaches with a lightly magnetic connection that makes it easy to slide and adjust so you can find the perfect angle of comfort.With plug-and-play compatibility, and a smooth, simple installation procedure (it was up and fully functional in 15 minutes with one restart), this is a product that you will thank yourself for spending the money on once you start using it.10/10 would recommend.

The Razer Huntsman Mini is a top-notch illuminated portable gaming keyboard. It offers outstanding performance and visually appealing RGB backlit keys that can be illuminated in a nearly infinite array of lighted patterns and effects.Right out of the box I noticed two things. The first being how compact this keyboard is. Even next to a 14-inch laptop keyboard (pictured), the small form factor is very noticeable. The second thing I noticed is how solid the construction feels. The Huntsman is made of aluminum and does not feel flimsy whatsoever. In fact, it feels like it can easily withstand multiple hours of punishing gameplay. The keys have a nice amount of travel and typing is substantially better than most laptop keyboards. A premium braided USB-C to USB-A cable ... MoreThe Razer Huntsman Mini is a top-notch illuminated portable gaming keyboard.

A premium braided USB-C to USB-A cable is included in the box.Even though it is compact, then keys are standard size. This is because the small factor was achieved by eliminating the function keys and the numeric pad. The missing functions are assigned to other keys and can be accessed using the function key. I typed this review on this keyboard and found the experience to be quite easy. The only dedicated keys I found myself initially missing were the directional arrows and the home and end keys, but I quickly adjusted to using a mouse to get around the screen.Most keys can be reprogrammed using the Razer Synapse software. The software is not required to use the keyboard, but is necessary to change the key mapping. Many functions can be accessed without using the software but using the software allows many more layers of control and customization.This keyboard is beautifully illuminated and looks especially nice in low light. Each key is individually illuminated and each can be configured individually up and down the color wheel. Several lighting presets can be selected via key press, but many, many more lighting options are available using the software. I found the Synapse software application very easy to use to customize and control the functions.If you need a top performing compact gaming keyboard because space is limited or for travel, then look no further than the Razer Huntsman Mini. If you prefer a standard size keyboard, then I recommend you look at one of the larger Razer models. I am going to use this keyboard at a secondary computer station where space is somewhat limited. It is also going to be my new travel keyboard, as its compact size will make it perfect to put in a bag and take on the go

When it comes to keyboards there's a lot of personal preference to them. Key height, key travel, and key feedback are all things that can vary greatly between them but is more subjective in regards to what's better. Having said that, I'll do my best to keep this review more about the objective features and functionality.The latter, arguably also most importantly, is where we'll start. In this regard, it meets all expectations of a higher end keyboard. The keys are responsive and fast and there's almost a clarity when typing with it. Best I can describe it is that each keystroke is just smooth and it has no issues keeping up when typing fast. And even though there's a bit of key travel, there's no need to pound them into the ground. In fact, because of the type of ... MoreWhen it comes to keyboards there's a lot of personal preference to them.

In this regard, it meets all expectations of a higher end keyboard. The keys are responsive and fast and there's almost a clarity when typing with it. Best I can describe it is that each keystroke is just smooth and it has no issues keeping up when typing fast. And even though there's a bit of key travel, there's no need to pound them into the ground. In fact, because of the type of switches these keyboards use, the keys can almost act like the triggers on a game console controller.That takes us to one of the coolest features of this keyboard. It doesn't take much travel at all for the analog optical switch to register a keystroke. And because of that and the way the optical sensors work, using the Razer software, you can actually set each key to have 2 different commands, 1 for a light touch with little travel and the other when pressing it further down. This may not be a big deal for everyday use, and can take some getting used to, but for gaming this is an amazing feature. For example, one key can control different rates of fire in a shooter, or whether you move fast or slow in the game.Speaking of the Razer software, called Synapse, that is another invaluable feature with this keyboard. Best of all though the software works across many of the Razer devices. This is actually my 5th Razer device, I have 2 other keyboards and 2 mice (disclaimer, I like Razer devices so much that I bought a second duplicate keyboard/mouse set to use at my work office), and I can control the settings on all of them with Razer Synapse.Another great feature is that this keyboard has on-board memory. Straight out of the box it already has several lighting effects preloaded on it, so you can change it up or turn it off without ever having to download Synapse. But if you do download it, you can also take advantage of the on-board memory and store different keyboard profiles. This can come in handy, like if you use it for gaming at home and then also take it to the office to use for work!And traveling it does well. Just the fact it's a small keyboard makes that easier, and might even be a reason why you'd consider buying a 60% sized keyboard. It is a wired keyboard, but they made the cable detachable, and that makes traveling with it so much easier. And honestly, the packaging is simple enough that if you don't have a dedicated case, you can use it for that purpose instead of throwing it out and it barely takes up any more space than the keyboard itself, and again, makes it really easy to travel with. Finally, the build quality is excellent and solid and just feels like it can easily handle any abuse from moving around.The few things to note with this keyboard, because it's small, you're not going to get a lot of the features of a larger keyboard. That's obviously a given, but if you absolutely depend on having a 10-key, then this wouldn't be for you. If you like a 'clicky' style keyboard, then this isn't really for you either.Overall, if it fits your keyboard style preferences, I honestly can't think of any negatives with this keyboard. I've been a fan of Razer products for some time now and they continue to not only meet, but exceed my expectations and I can't recommend this keyboard highly enough.

I've been wanting to dive in to using a smaller keyboard for some time now, but I've always been attached to full size keyboards and those with media keys.Ditching the 10 Key is easy enough. Ditching the FN keys and the media keys of course is a bit harder, moreso the function key's.That out of the way, so far, with some re-learning and getting used to the smaller footprint and finger placement since I'm so used to a 100% keyboards, it's been a great keyboard.My previous has also been a Razer, specifically the Huntsman Elite, so there wasn't a whole lot in the way of needing any new S/W or anything.Being able to confiigure the keys to function as controller input is a potential game changer. I don't know if it will catch on, but it could.

I don't know if it will catch on, but it could. It naturally won't replace your controller, but for some games where you would prefer a controller, but at the same prefer using the keyboard, this helps to bridge that gap.Testing it out in some games like Horizon Zero Dawn, GTA and others similar where depending on how much pressure you apply to the key it controls how fast or slow your character moves. This actually really helps in GTA cause of the driving. There's nothing really that offers as great a control as the joysticks on a controller, but again, this really helps to simulate that experience.The configuration through the Synapse software is easy, but also very in depth cause you can adjust each and every single key on the keyboard. It isn't something that's just jump in and setup, it does require some time and effort. There's differing levels of actuation that can be setup as well.The noise of the keyboard is a lot softer than my Elite. This keyboard rarely gets picked up in my discord calls or streaming, but this is preference and I much prefer loud and clicky keyboards be it for everyday typing or gaming.If you're looking for a good quality keyboard thats got a smaller footprint that a 100% model and gives you some adjustability with actuation and better usability for some games that require a more precise amount of control but don't want to rely on a controller, this may very fit the bill for you.
OverallAs the title says, I’ve never once owned a Razer product. Not because I think there’s anything wrong with them but because I’m too deeply invested into other ecosystems to justify adding another piece of software to manage their RGB or other embedded functionality. In the box, you got your keyboard, product manual, stickers, and a nice braided USB Type-A to USB Type-C of about 5ft. To be honest, I feel like it is at least 1ft short, but I can make it work. In any case, this keyboard is very nice, both for gaming and as a daily driver. It leaves you with only the essential keys while getting rid of the rest of the useless real estate that occupies a lot of your desk.

In the box, you got your keyboard, product manual, stickers, and a nice braided USB Type-A to USB Type-C of about 5ft. To be honest, I feel like it is at least 1ft short, but I can make it work. In any case, this keyboard is very nice, both for gaming and as a daily driver. It leaves you with only the essential keys while getting rid of the rest of the useless real estate that occupies a lot of your desk. There may be a very small subset of games that I can think of that utilize the directional keys or keypad. A larger portion would have you map those keys if you really wanted them. But lets face it, not many use the keypad to game. Thinking about that setup makes me wonder how much space would I need to maneuver the mouse while also having access to the keypad and directional keys. I may be a bit off base but to memory, the only types that utilize these keys fall into MMO, and RTS types. The dual kickstand thing is a nice add-on as most mainstream keyboards seem to only have a single leg. So this setup gives you a little more flexibility. More than anything else on the keyboard, I love that triggering the function key brings up lights across all your keys that have a secondary key function. I can’t recall seeing this in any keyboard I’ve owned before. To unlock full functionality of all of the keyboards features you need the synapse software. But as I unpacked it to setup with my computer I wasn’t spammed with the needed software. There’s a small message on the back of the box but that's really small that you’ll likely glance over it and not really notice it. There’s a second message about it on the second page of the manual, but the diagrams and other messages on there are much more predominant that I never really noticed it. I already had it in my head that I’ll end up downloading something from the Razer website to use it to its full potential. Much to my surprise, as soon as I plugged it into my USB port I got a Razer software prompt asking if I would like to download synapse. This was something new as I normally have to hunt for software when I plug in a peripheral. Drivers will install automatically, but companion software isn’t a thing. This is so simple yet very impressive to see this.Synapse unlocks a myriad of features from assigning macro keys, customizing the RGB experience past the default presets, and adjusting sensitivity, for lack of a better word, how much you need to press on a key to actuate a keystroke. The keyboards build quality is impressive. The brushed aluminum base has a solid and premium feel.If I had to complain about anything it’d have to be the clicking on this particular keyboard. I do love mechanical keyboards so I’m not against clicking keys, but I can’t say I’m 100% a fan of the 80s sounding OEM keyboard sound this one produces. I won’t name manufacturers but this type of sound usually came from the old dinosaur, practically indestructible, cream colored keyboards from the late 80s early 90s.Regardless how I look at it, Razer has made an amazing product if you’re looking for a 60% form factor. This is a 5 star product loaded with lots of features.
Disclosure: I have received this product for the purpose of this review.First impression of the keyboard is it is tiny. Cute is the word I would most use to describe it. However, don’t let the small form factor trick you, this thing is built to last and feels very sturdy.The box that it is packaged in is smaller than the standard 10-keyless keyboard that I am currently using. With the loss of even more keys the device shrinks even more.This is great for those gamers that also have work to do at their desk. I have used all types of keyboards since getting my first computer many years ago and have come to appreciate mechanical keyboards the most for their feel and function. I am not a big fan of membrane keyboards.

I have used all types of keyboards since getting my first computer many years ago and have come to appreciate mechanical keyboards the most for their feel and function. I am not a big fan of membrane keyboards. Personally, the feel of these keys is not my style, they lack tactile feedback.This keyboard feels as if it combines the two types of keyboards in one. Right out of the box it has the look of a mechanical style with the touch sensitivity of a membrane style. This is a nuisance for those who are used to having to press the key all the way down to achieve an action. These keys are not that way; however, you can adjust the action of the keys with the software that is included on the firmware of the keyboard.The software allows you to set the actuation height (in millimeters), which sets the feel of the keyboard and allows a more responsive keystroke a higher actuation height. That aspect is particularly helpful in the gaming arena. When used to general typing it feels better to me to set it at a further key travel before it responds to the key press.The actuation level can be set per key or across the entire keyboard so you can have it setup to have the most common keys used in a particular game set to a fast actuation and save it as a profile for that specific task. The software also allows you to set the RGB lights to quite a few variations for the backlights of the keys. I am sure that the RGB lighting can be fully customized as well. I have not fully gone thru the software for its truest potential.Overall, this keyboard is cool and if you have space issues when gaming this would be a great 10 keyless design. For normal day to day tasks this is not meant to be used for that purpose solely. Shrinking a normal 10 keyless design to fit in the footprint of a main key layout has it advantages and disadvantages. Learning how to use all the F-keys and other keys that are set to double duty keys can be a challenge.I think Razer tried to do too much on a keyboard as far as functionality. They didn’t really need to include a way to control media.
If you are looking for a small compact keyboard, then this one might just be for you. This keyboard is well built and the aluminum casing makes this keyboard lightweight. It is a bit higher than some keyboards I have used, but I like that and it feels comfortable. The cord is a bit long, coming in at around 5.5 feet. I feel the long cord makes up a bit for it not being a wireless keyboard. It is RGB backlit which makes it easier to see in the dark for an added bonus.This keyboard has analog optical switches for the keys, which allows for a full range when you depress a key. There is a learning curve to this keyboard if you assign two functions to a single key. You will press down half way on a key for one function and all the way down for the second function. ... MoreIf you are looking for a small compact keyboard, then this one might just be for you.

There is a learning curve to this keyboard if you assign two functions to a single key. You will press down half way on a key for one function and all the way down for the second function. Since this is a mini keyboard, some keys (that I consider mostly unessential) will be missing from it, number pad, up and down arrows, etc. This makes assigning two functions to a key essential for the missing keys you do use.You will need to install the Razer Synapse app onto your computer to customize key functions, the different lighting effects and to create different profiles for your games. You can save up to 5 profiles to the keyboard itself and use the keyboard on different computers that do not have the app installed.In all this is a good wired mini gaming keyboard. It works with all the different games I have used it for and after assigning two functions to a key and getting used to it, I really like it and would recommend it.
I've been using this keyboard for about 2 weeks so far. Overall, I've been liking it. My previous keyboard was a Corsair K70 with Cherry Brown switches that I ruined after I spilled Jollybee gravy into it. They keys are very clicky, similar to Cherry Blue's but with a bit less activation force required. They are definitely louder than the Browns I had before but I kind of like the clickiness. Highly responsive. The lights are customizable through Razor synapse but I don't really use them much. I find that the customization for Corsair is easier to use though. Controls are comparable to my previous keyboard in that it also has volume and media controls. One nice plus for this over the K70 is the easily detachable and plush arm rest. Compared to the K70 though it ... MoreI've been using this keyboard for about 2 weeks so far. Overall, I've been liking it.

Compared to the K70 though it lacks a USB passthrough. All in all, its exactly the same as a K70 except with those differences.
I am really impressed with Razer and their ability to churn out keyboards like this that feel as good to type on as they look. This 60% Huntsman keyboard provides an excellent option for hardcore gamers or typists who prefer a smaller keyboard, are space limited, or like to take their keyboard on the go. 60% is an interesting experience if you have never used one before. 60% are the embodiments of practicality when it comes to keyboard usability, and they leave you so much room on your desk.This keyboard departs from the previous Huntsman Mini model given that it comes with Razer’s new analog optical switches which allow for scalable levels of input. This allegedly provides more accurate button presses and more precise movement of the key through the keystroke.

This allegedly provides more accurate button presses and more precise movement of the key through the keystroke. I have owned and test nearly a dozen keyboards now, and I am just going to say in perfect honesty that I have difficulty telling the difference between the keystrokes on this other red switch linear keyboards I have had in the past. I would say that if anything, I am noticing finer, more precise movements when I play my favorite competitive shooter, Hunt Showdown. I am able to “wiggle” the character side to side while peeking windows with greater ease and finer side to side movements than on my current daily driver Roccat Pyro keyboard. That does add a competitive advantage and I can honestly directly say the keystrokes on the Huntsman Mini analog are directly responsible for that.Other aspects of this Razer keyboard go along familiar Razer product experiences. The packaging is excellent and feels premium and you get a detachable, braided USB-C cable. The keyboard itself shows attention to detail with a nice matte finish, and the RGB is fully controlled with Razer Synapse software which has markedly improved over the years since my first Razer Keyboard in 2018. The only comment I will make is that the RGB on this keyboard is quite dim on full brightness compared to my Razer Goliathus Chroma mousepad that sits right next to it in my current gaming setup.Altogether, I think this keyboard is going to appeal to the hardcore, minimalist PC gamers who want the build and precision of a Razer keyboard without giving up on the precision or control of the actual keystrokes. I would give this keyboard 5 stars for that genre of user, but I would say for anyone that isn’t in need of a 60% keyboard with as fine of switches as these, you will find better, more featured options at this price point. Thanks for reading and good luck with your purchase!
The Razer Huntsman V2 keyboard is superb. I play videogames. This keyboard helps me type really fast and accurately. This keyboard has very smooth keypresses and I love the clicky sound that's not so bad it bothers others in the room. Everything about this keyboard feels just right. I type around 80-90 WPM with this keyboard I can do around 100 WPM. The included wrist wrest feels nice! I love the programmable RGB lighting. It was really a cool suprise to see that when you play certain games like DOOM and Factorio the layout for the lighting changes to fit the games atmosphere. I can't say enough about how much I love this keyboard. It has a real premium feel to it and you cannot go wrong getting one of these! In all my years and many keyboards I've gone through this ... MoreThe Razer Huntsman V2 keyboard is superb. I play videogames. This keyboard helps me type really fast and accurately.
