The flagship model of the gaming keyboard in the assortment of the famous Californian company Razer, whose products are very popular among casual gamers and e-sportsmen. The device has a massive full-size case with a metal front surface. The keys received a fundamentally new device scheme. Opto-mechanical design is used instead of traditional mechanical switches. The movement of the buttons is accompanied by a noticeable tactile feedback, and the keys themselves are pressed easily and clearly.
The main feature of opto-mechanical switches is a huge working life of 100 million keystrokes for each key. Using proprietary software, the user can reassign buttons and create macros. The Razer Huntsman Elite comes with a practical detachable wrist rest. The working surface of the stand is very soft due to the special padding under a layer of artificial leather. By the way, a backlight strip is provided along the contour of the stand, which works synchronously with the main RGB backlight. The layout of the device has a number of additional buttons to control the media player and audio volume control. Connection to the PC is realized by a 2-metre cable. There are several USB connectors at the end of the wire: one is responsible for powering the keyboard, and the second is for powering the backlight in the stand.

Razer's first keyboard with opto-mechanical switches
The Razer Huntsman Elite is Razer's first keyboard with unusual optical-mechanical switches. They work as follows: when pressed at a certain moment, the light hits the receiver, and the keyboard controller interprets this as a key operation. Technical details aside, thanks to this mechanism, they can last almost forever (Razer claims 100 million clicks), are easier to clean, and are more resistant to spills than traditional mechanical switches. Well, they feel like Cherry MX Blue with a slightly longer stroke.
Comfortable palm rest with individual lighting
The second reason for pride is the leatherette-lined arm rest with a soft lining ... Wow, it is really comfortable, as if hands were given a subscription to a massage parlor. Considering the price and the word "elite" in the title, it's no wonder that Razer got confused with backlighting not only the keyboard, but also the stand, the outline of which is decorated with 20 LEDs. Moreover, their colour and effects can be configured separately. The only negative is that the stand needs to be connected using a separate USB cable to power it.
Like everything except the price
Otherwise, the Razer Huntsman Elite boasts excellent performance, excellent build, comprehensive RGB lighting, a separate multimedia panel with a massive volume control, and extremely functional software for configuring everything and everything. Another question is that you will have to significantly overpay for the stand and new switches. For that amount, you can get a couple of 2019 BlackWidows, or even 3 mechanical keyboards from simpler brands like Redragon.
