The Huntsman V2 Analog had the potential to be my #1 keyboard. Just the feel of the switches was the absolute best. It wore out in less than a month. For a $250 USD keyboard I found that pretty quick. My #1 is the Steel Series Apex Pro for sure! Great review, and I'm looking forward to rewatching it later!
I thought I was having a fever dream because I couldn't find the 36 switches video on your channel anymore. Glad to know I'm not actually going insane. Please publish that video again, it genuinely is helpful!
if you want to do more research into keyboard latency, you should look into keyboard matrix polling rates. Many of the gamer keyboards advertising themselves as "1000hz USB polling rate" will only have an internal matrix scan rate of 128hz. This is the speed that the microcontroller on the PCB checks the "matrix" of keyswitches to see what is being pressed - if you have 1000hz polling rate, it won't save you if the matrix scan rate is 128hz. The reason most cheap keyboards don't go beyond 128hz is because of the "debounce time" of switches. Regular cherry MX switches have around 5ms of debounce time, which is the time it takes for you to be able to read a clear signal from a keyswitch once it's pressed. 128hz gives around 8ms between each input scan so it dodges this problem this is why razer uses optical switches in their 8000hz keyboards - their debounce time is near 0, which lets you get much higher matrix scan rates and much higher USB polling rates with it actually making a difference. There are also ways to get higher matrix scan rates with non-optical switches, avoiding the debounce time problem, but they're much more complicated. These are the techniques corsair uses in their keyboards that say they use "AXON Hyper-processing technology" and also have 8000hz. This way of doing things is probably better because it lets you get high matrix scan rates while still using non-optical switches, which is much cheaper than using these optical switches. (k65 mini is less than half the price of this keyboard and also has 0.1ms latency). just thought u might find interesting since it's something that i've done alot of research on and i see you mention keyboard polling rates alot^
"k65 mini is less than half the price of this keyboard" ok now that I've stopped just shaking my head, no it depends where you live as to how much the relative cost is for different brands.
for a switch with individual stabilizer come attached, I expect a lot less wobbling. The way they wobble like that 2:23 just feels like a normal cherry switch, what's the benefit of the stab then, they just adds more rattling sound
I got the original Huntsman TKL and so far I'm enjoying it without any complaints. I got it on sale for around $79 US which is worth it compared to the $200+ options out there.
Wow! 8000hz. Razer is stepping up their game performance wise! If only they made the switches and keyboard feel and sound nice. That would make a huge difference.
@@plumbirb8444 i do agree that realistically, for rhythm games you don't need anything over 1000hz, but the argument that the best players don't use anything over 1000hz doesn't work when there is only 2(i think) 8000hz keyboards and they were both released in the past year. anything above 1000hz is useless for rhythm games, having a keyboard with no chord-splitting is way way way more important factor for a good rhythm game keyboard.
they ain't really upping much only usual Razer things *buzz words* to usual Razer apple like pricing. and all the taste in gear is a opinion to just keep searching you'll find what suits you! *remember all them and the Switches and such don't honestly matter* don't gotta lube, add switch films, o-rings (dunno if many dislike those again a opinion) and so on to you're case's material and so on to DYI > pre builts imo. Razer and them will keep trying! just gotta wait and see.
I'm not generally a fan of razer, but this keyboard I got for christmas is great! Would love to see a review of it. It's only like 50 bucks it's called the Ornata v2 and it basically combines the best of both worlds of mechanical and membrane. It has the quietness and super fast debounce time of membrane but the great tactileness (if that's the right word) of mechanical.
I bought this keyboard specifically because I wanted something quiet and with a higher bottoming out. So all the things you hate about it are the reasons why I wanted it!
I don't think Razer would be mad at this review. It's pretty fair and it's just not for you. I'm still interested in the linear model, but I'm definitely more on the fence than before.
I got the clicky optical TKL huntsman v2. fucking awesome keyboard. I was worried about the switches and stabs being bad in stock form. but honestly. it's pretty good for stock already. no much modding needed. could pad the stabs a bit but even without, it's solid.
I get the "you feel like you are hitting bricks" really much lol. First time I got it I was so used to cherry mx red that it literally hurt my fingers since I'm a mania player. I couldn't play with it so I just left it abandoned in a corner. Then my cherry mx keyboard got water inside it aaaaand.... had to use what I had but, after I got used to it, I've never liked a keyboard so much before, and now it just feels smooth, I don't lift my fingers that much now and thdy are so light I almost feel as if I have unlimited stamina, 8.7/10 for my review.
Thanks for this. I've always wanted those kind of switches just because they look cool with the stabilizers, but now I am sold that the keyboard won't be beneficial for me or my use. I really like MX speed switches, and I think I will replace the keys on my Xtrfy K4 with those instead.
in my opinion the huntsman elite (full size) is what you shouldve gotten. i have it and i have 0 complaints. just a bit loud but i really dont mind that
I like the linears, i needed something fast for Call of Duty and nothing too loud cause i hate the clicks on the razer keyboard, its a solid board but again it aint for everyone.
@@rashrush4529 my movement in cod is very responsive, very clean, and very accurate. they probs dont feel too good cause the activation force is hella light, u can push it down like .1 centimeters and the thing activates, it took me a bit to get used to the board
You are a real professional when it comes to keyboards. I really need the advice of a very knowleadgable person in keyboards. I bought the razer huntsman mini and then I heard of the woothing 60e. I want to say that I have really low experience with expensive keyboards but for whatever reason my vulcan roccat tkl feels nicer and more premium on touch - could be the back, the case etc, maybe its because its plastic and its more user friendly? than the razer huntsman mini. (i have the purple switches on my razer and no analog ones atm) - paid 120$ for it My question is, if I buy the woothing do you think it will be a change in percieved build quality since I head its made by plastic? Is it worth doing the upgrade? The most important things for me is performance and build quality. (woothing is 180$ in my country) -
tokaku: "This is kind of like those cheap keyboards except it's not as bad as the cheap keyboards where they straight up don't even connect circles". me: *_i through they made it that way to look cooler_*
I personally have a razer huntsman v2 tenkeyless with the purple switches. Me personally im currently typing with it right now. I don't really like the sound of it. Whenever i click the keys, there's just this silent spring sound, my mom. Woke up one time and said that she thought it was raining, Yes Raining. Because of how the keyboard sounded. Just saying. if you like very, very loud. Then get the purple switches.
I find that the linear switches with the added dampening negatively impact how quickly I can press the key. I sorta wish they'd just go back to the pingy linear keyboards they had, like the original Huntsman TKL.
the razer red linears were actually linears on the huntsman elite but when they put foam and changed thw switch a little in the hunstamn mini and huntsman tkl it just became silent and very unsatisfying to press. should try the huntsman elite with the red linears, their really quick
I actually use the huntsman 60% with linear switches and I really like it lol. I do mostly only play first person shooters though, and do minor typing for schoolwork, though not too much because I'm an engineering student so most of my typing is with a numpad.
Damn, why are there so many comments having issues with an honest review for a sponsored product? Like damn, I want reviewers like Tokaku to get free stuff and be able to tell the truth!
I would like to hear your opinion about the RedDragon K552 Kumara. It’s considered the best budget mechanical keyboards at $30, but I’m not sure how good it is for rhythm games and stuff.
Mine does exact same thing we're pings I'm pretty sure it's just The click Bolt despite it they're still really good switches still definitely a step up from MX
@@tokaku usually everything should be within synapse. there is a tab called "studio" where you can mess around and customize every single LED. was it not there for you?
Tryna decide If the 288AUD is worth it for this or not lmfao I’m probably going to get the black widow V3 Tkl but might consider it. Thank u for u review (mostly I’m looking for the sound and latency btw)
I completely gave up on mechanical keyboards. When i had one once for osu taiko, i noticed something funny...sometimes hitting normaly, sometimes extremely late, so i correct it by hitting earlier to balance off the hits, and then i miss of hitting too early. The inputs were extremely inconsistent, maybe keys too high and never learned on how to play at one of these. I played with it a pretty long time and never got used to that, so i bought an keyboard, that has low key height and low push force to hit. Like i need it since i play 270bpm maps lol. But i still think it could be better so i have no perfect keyboard
flat membrane keyboards for osu taiko generally feels better and helps with speed more than mechanical keyboards. for other rhythm game things like mania, mechanical is a more comfortable choice for most
only would affect the HIGHEST accuracy players in the world, pretty much less than the number of fingers on my hands. It would only apply to etterna as well, since they use millisecond based scoring
So there is no regular linear version? If so, that's a real shame. I've heard multiple times that the linear razer optical switches are insanely smooth, but being dampened no matter what completely kills my interest.
i have the REDRAGON keyboard and mine is the Kumara K552 60% keyboard and yes it has an app and macro blah blah but the important part is that the keys are replaceable and it is waterproof and that's amazing cuz i spilled 7 cups of water and had to clean so i dumped it in water so that makes 8, it has blue cherry keys and i love it but the reason i got it is cuz first I'm kinda broke, secondly is that i want to be average and i don't want very amazing stuff like i have the TDAGGER seargent and i am pretty sure i was able to take the mouse's app and code some of my stuff in it and made it do aim bot, auto shooting, the normal macro of 6000 and something, but i did something cool, I FREAKING TOOK THE MACRO AND MADE IT MAKE A GAME AND THAT MY FREINDS TOOK ME WAY TO LONG (2 months) so yeah i guess i will get better keys hopefully (i want POM jelly)
@@william8853 yea i have no noise reduction whatsoever it is a very good keyboard in of itself but its just louder than me if i turn off all filters on my condenser mic
yeah. I heard about it. imo they should've done something else to the keyboard than sticking their guns to the plastic material and floating key switch design if they didn't want it to be that loud and keep the switch feel
I wonder how affected the CPU usage for this keyboard is at 8000hz setting? maybe if i buy it, i'll just put it on 2000hz, this is already in my basket plan and don't you worry about it because of this, it's just a matter of paying
