Being tenkeyless, there’s no numpad, dedicated media or macro keys. An aluminium top plate sits on top of a plastic body which keeps the overall weight down and combined with it’s size, makes for a portable keyboard. Razer went with a vanilla, all matte black finish with ordinary looking keycaps, no media keys and straight, precise edges on the chassis.
Indeed there is a noticeable lack of frill with the design.
I want to touch on the physicality of the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL first. After spending a few weeks with the board, I can happily say that, yes - it really is all performance! On top of those quiet optical switches, the Huntsman V2 brings 8000Hz HyperPolling, double shot PBT keycaps, a plush wrist wrest and detachable USB Type-C cable. Retailing for $259.95, the Huntsman V2 is fairly expensive as far as keyboards go but I wager once you are using it, you’ll forget the dent in your wallet. The Huntsman V2 is really nothing to look at as far as gaming keyboards go but looks are deceiving something you’ll figure out as soon as you start pressing on its absurdly quiet linear optical switches.
And you know what? For once, it’s actually not some silly marketing spiel. That’s literally the first thing you read on the webpage for the new Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless keyboard.
