According to our keyboard expert
The Razer Huntsman Gaming Keyboard with even lighter linear optical switches has an illuminated wrist rest and physical media controls. The improved switches of this keyboard are optical mechanical, so the actuation is recorded by a laser beam. This keyboard has linear switches that you press down gradually. The actuation point is at 40g, which is 5g lighter than with the original Huntsman Elite keyboard. That way, a keystroke is registered immediately. The brushed aluminum design in combination with the fully adjustable lighting makes the Huntsman a minimalist keyboard that suits both an organized battle station and a flashy LAN setup. The included wrist rest is equipped with a Chroma light strip. With the free Chroma software, you can create your own custom light pattern and store it on the internal memory. Via the physical media keys and dial, you have complete control over the audio performance of your games and music.

Fantastic keyboard! First time buying a Razer keyboard and I'm very happy with it. Very nice design, build quality very good, wrist rest is very nice, RGB lighting very nice with many possibilities and the Opto-Mechanical switch feels great for typing and gaming.

I bought this keyboard on purpose because I wanted an opto-mechanical keyboard. Opto-mechanical switches are switches that activate by means of a laser, and not by a button, so the keyboard is simply a bit more expensive. Also because the life of the keyboard is considerably extended.
My keyboards with MX switches always went fast, often keychatter, and that's an age problem they say.. I've always been a fan of the blue MX Cherry switches that "click" on a keystroke. But didn't want to go back to MX.
Razer makes their own switches, and now this is my first Razer keyboard and I am very satisfied!
The switches on the huntsman are fairly heavy to press, so you can perfectly rest your fingers on the keys during idle moments such as browsing or the like. The switches are also clicky, so that you receive auditory feedback from every action of what you have done.
Also, the lighting options are endless, with beautiful presets! And so you also have gaming presets for, for example, Overwatch, where the lighting adjusts to the hero you choose, the skills that are available, or your keyboard that lights up white when your ultimate is ready. Very nice!
What's too bad is that there is no USB-through on the keyboard, so you can plug the mouse into your keyboard for better cable management. Fortunately, my mouse pad does, so that's how it solved.
All in all, very satisfied with the switches on this huntsman. Nice finish, and the multimedia keys + volume disc + mute button are a very nice addition!

Product is very nice and pleasant to use. The only downside is actually the relatively high price, but of course you also pay a part for the name Razer. Quick installation and not easily breakable.
