Review on Razer Huntsman V2 Gaming Keyboard Razer Clicky Optical Switch Purple, Black, Russian by Mateusz Boguszewski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

~ The volume wheel is not very logical: scrolling down is to increase the volume, scrolling up is to decrease. It would be much more convenient for me the other way around, but key remapping only works when Synapse is running (!), which is simply unacceptable for me. There is a Razer Pro Click mouse, it has button remapping exactly what is stored in memory, that is, when connected to any computer, it works the way I once configured it. In this keyboard - yes, you can save the profile in the built-in memory, BUT its settings will work only if the Synapse process is installed and currently running on a particular computer. ~ All extras the symbols are applied with paint, and rather pale. That is, even in the twilight (not to mention complete darkness), you will not see at all not only the Cyrillic alphabet, but also, for example, special. characters on the number line. In principle, I don’t care thanks to touch typing, but it looks much more minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing, but it’s worth keeping in mind.

Pros
  • + Very quiet (except for long keys), indistinguishable from the membrane. Much quieter, for example, MacBook butterfly keyboards. + You can disable the Win key directly from the keyboard (it can be useful for games). + Design and in particular the font on keycaps. In general, nothing betrays the "gaming" slope of the keyboard (except for the default backlight mode). In general, do not be ashamed to bring to the office.
Cons
  • - On those characters that are cut, the backlight is terribly uneven. There are some spots where it is darker. I don’t know if the problem is keycaps or specifically backlighting. The attached photo is clearly visible on the example of the Pause and Home keys. - Without installing a synapse, you cannot change the backlight mode - the keyboard will always slowly shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow, the only thing that can be done directly from it is to change the brightness. I clarify: the backlight modes are NOT stored in the keyboard memory, there is only one built-in. You can change them only when the synapse process is running (bloatware, loads the system). It is worth closing the synapse - the keyboard is again in a default way. - Included only the keyboard itself and stickers. Not even a keycap puller. And that's for $200+. - Stabilizers, as usual, fear and horror out of the box. The sound of space, backspace, shifts - hell, they rattle, as if a train was thrown from the roof. Needs to be lubricated. - The cable cannot be thrown to the other side, it will always be on the left.
