Abstract: It's no surprise I like optical keyboards – I've reviewed a number of them from the insanely expensive Corsair K100 to the truly innovative Wooting Two – and it's the latter that Razer's new Huntsman, the V2 Analog, takes after rather closely. Adjustable...
Fully customizable key actuation, Delightfully tactile key clicks, The most comfortable wrist rest we've ever used
Eye-wateringly expensive, Built-in twin-cable
The Razer Huntsman v2 Analog gaming keyboard combines the latest optical technology and Razers' own mechanical key switches to provide both the best typing and gaming experience we've had in a long time...
Buttery smooth switches Comfy wrist rest USB pass-through,
Inconsistent backlighting It's kind of loud Expensive
The Huntsman V2 Analog is my new favourite keyboard from Razer. It's got lots of cool features you'd struggle to find in premium custom keyboards, but that comes at an equally premium cost. If nothing else, it's another example of Razer leading from the f...
Abstract: If anyone ever invents a time machine, it would be fun to take an RGB keyboard from the late 2010s back to the year 1977 just to show the stunned onlookers what the human race has accomplished. No, we didn't get personal jetpacks, and a keyboard isn't qui...
Abstract: Maybe your trusty old keyboard has typed its last letter or trapped its last bagel crumb. Perhaps your gaming ambitions have outstripped the mushy, mediocre typer that came with your PC. Or maybe your hands are simply shouting: Hey, cut me some slack here...
Abstract: If you're a gamer, you probably take your choice of gaming keyboard very seriously. And you should. When your keyboard doubles as your game controller, it's more than just a tool for typing. It is to you what the katana is to a samurai (or to a cyborg nin...

Cons, Doesn't fully simulate a gamepad's functionality, Extra features make the Synapse software overly complicated, Expensive
Abstract: Note: This feature was first published on 31 December 2021.A very Happy New Year from everyone at HardwareZone!The end of the year is naturally a time for reflection and contemplation. And despite all that is going on in the world, we have had no shortage...
Abstract: The Razer Huntsman V2 and the V2 Analog (reviewed here) could be twins. Both keyboards feature the same stealth-black design. Both feature thick doubleshot PBT keycaps with backlit legends, dedicated media controls and the excellent multi-function dial fi...
Analog switch tech is at the cuttingedge of keyboard design, Plush and comfortable wrist rest, Durable PBT keycaps, Standard bottom row for thirdparty keycap compatibility
Analog input will not work for all games, Need to manually reassign each key to use controller functionality ingame, Twin braided cables are stiff and unwieldy, Very pricey
The Razer Huntsman V2 Analog is a great keyboard that sits on the cutting-edge of switch tech. But it is also impractical in more ways than one. The analog tech is cool and supports a ton of customisability and powerful features. If you enjoy tinkering an...
