Its nice, but nothing you couldn't live without. Really, its a keyboard. It clicks, it looks cool.... that's about it.
Coming off a much MUCH cheaper low end at best mech keyboard its just not that different, I fully admit I paid too much $$$ cause I wanted the looks of having a full synced RGB desk setup and had to have media keys. If not for that there is no way in hades I would have paid that. So basically I'm the target sucker...I mean demographic.

EDIT: I guess I'll give it one thing... the wrist rest is the best I've ever used. I mean its really nice and comfy and looks good to boot with the lights.

When will this be available on other stores except for the Razer store? (Like amazon). I can only find the huntsman (not the huntsman elite).

It most likely go to store shelves and online stores overtime, since it does not say it is a Razerstore Exclusive like the Cynosa Chroma Pro was. Just keep your eye out.

You think it will take days, weeks or months?

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.

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.

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.

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

What's USB passthrough?

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.

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

Are you a troll? Purple one is Razer's, Orange one is A4tech's.
