if the switches was silent... best keyboard in the whole world

Why no macro buttons? No macro buttons on the left, no buy from me. I will stick to my Chroma v2

where can I find those switches? would they work in place of cherries?

the huntsman sure looks good

I'd love if they released a new keyboard with switches from a third party like Cherry or Gateron

USB port on the keyboard. Since the kb already takes up 2 USB ports. Would be great for my desktop which doesn’t have many USB ports to begin with

Why does it need 2 ports? I'm guessing that the KB needs more power?

"I don't see evidence that they deliberately copied it but they're definitely not the first. Most, if not all, of Bloody's current products seem to use light actuation."
Are you a troll? Purple one is Razer's, Orange one is A4tech's.

Not trolling. Just haven't seen those 2 side by side bit I do know that the principle that those work on is the same. And I'm not crossing out the possibility that they separately thought of the idea but the design of the switches doesn't make that convincing at all.

On my last post, I said I wouldn't buy this keyboard but due to a deal, I got this discounted. My issues still stand and a new one just came up.

Certain keys make this metallic clanking sound on key up (releasing the key after pressing down). It's most noticeable when pressing on the same key repeatedly. I'm guessing it's from their stabilizers and/or the springs. So far, it's most noticeable on the letter/key "S".

Anyone having the same issue? While it doesn't affect performance or anything, it can get annoying hearing clanking of metal.

Man I'm so torn with the keyboards Razer has. Each has things I want but non has all the things I want for my next keyboard.

BW:
-Has USB passthrough
-No media keys
-Ain't sleek =/

BWX:
-Sleek design
-No USB passthrough
-No dedicated media keys

Huntsman Elite:
-I like the design just like BWX
-Has dedicated media keys
-But no USB passthrough

If only either BWX and Huntsman Elite has both USB passthrough and dedicated mediakey in 1 keyboard, it'd be a definite instant buy

A4tech Bloody were already making these switches, Razer just copied them.

Looks cool. Just before Min will be talking about idea stealing, yes, someone else already did it ;)

May I know who?

Groundbreaking performance at the speed of light—this is the all-new Razer Huntsman Elite: http://rzr.to/HuntsmanElite



We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to bring you the best gaming experience imaginable. This time, we’re introducing the Razer Huntsman Elite—featuring the brand-new Razer Opto-Mechanical Switch built for unmatched speed and precision.



Using optical actuation technology, the Razer Opto-Mechanical Switch actuates and resets at the same point, enabling rapid fire keypresses at ludicrous speeds. This is the all-new weapon designed for quick and light keypresses while retaining the familiar clicky feel you know and love.



What’s more, we’ve added fully customizable dedicated media controls to suit your every need. The plush leatherette wrist rest provides added comfort while gaming and the Razer Chroma enabled underglow makes this beast a perfect companion to your battlestation.

New look, new switch. This is the Razer Huntsman Elite: http://rzr.to/HuntsmanElite


I bought it, using it right now to type this, and I absolutely LOVE it.

On a local store I can preorder Razer Huntsman Elite for 214.72 Euro and they say the release date will be 31.12.2018

Odd, thats a bit later then I find normal for around here but they might be delaying it this time since it is kind of a brand new keyboard in general, switches and all.

Its been out for going on a month now, so I would expect it to be soon. Normally Razerstore products are on at other retailers within a month and a half or so, depending on demand and stuff though.

You think it will take days, weeks or months?
