Razer Huntsman V2 Review: a costly but high-performance optical gaming keyboard

The Razer Huntsman V2 is a great optical gaming keyboard, but it doesn't pack a punch in terms of features, particularly at its price point.

The keyboard comes in both a standard form factor and tenkeyless, with a variety of colour options including black and quartz, but we're testing the tenkeyless version here. As a regular user of the original Razer Huntsman, one of its few major downsides is that's quite big, even for bigger desks, so picking up the tenkeyless edition has been a lot more convenient. Swapping from mechanical to optical switches was also a welcome change when using the second iteration of the Huntsman.

This keyboard comes in at £199.99 / $199.99 / $350.80 for the full form factor with linear switches. You can also pick up the tenkeyless edition, which is the version we're reviewing here, for £159.99 / $159.99 / AU$189.99, also with linear switches. Prices slightly vary based on what colour and switch option you go for. Compared to the competition, the Huntsman V2 has a premium price, with the Corsair K70 Pro coming in at £179.99 / $179.99 / AU$299, which has the same optical switches and more features.
