just ordered mine.... I am excite!
One has an excellent chroma'd wrist pad that attaches magnetically, and media keys up top(right hand top corner) and the other does not.
This is the BEST gaming keyboard ever made.
Thank You RAZER!

hey, is anyone else having trouble with their huntsman elite have some key problems, sometimes my buttons stick and sometimes they dont respond. i dont mean psyically stick but for example ill hit the "c" key and i'll get "ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc" unless i physically interfere, its odd because i just bought it in october

Try to remove all razer softwere, remove files from appdata and programfiles then remove keybord from device menager disconnect all razer device and reboot connect just keybord and install synapse if this dont help you can also try to remove your profiles from synapse to make sure you dont have something enable in settings.
I just bought it, I love the keyboard, but I hate Synapse 3.0. It's frustrating to use, now it feels bloated because of Synapse 3.0. I'll probably end up returning it tomorrow and picking up a Corsair instead. 😞

VERDICT:

I am most definitely not going back to a BW, this thing is just too awesome. After a few days of getting used to, I find myself being faster at typing, and the over FEEL of the keyboard is more premium

For those who dont mind the price .... RECOMMENDED!

Few things in this keybord can be improve 😛 media keycaps are not transparent so light dont shine like other keys simple fix but yeah huge miss. Next thing is front connector to this keybord in relase someone sad thet we see devices that can be connected to this keybbord and nothing so far this second miss. On othear aspect i cant say anything becose it's great.

Yes this kebyord have support for xbox but chroma light/effect will not work becose there is no on-board light storage and nbox dont have app for it.
Just looking at the video, you have goosebumps. Imagine if you use it :cool_:
The Blackwidow Elite is better than the Huntsman Elite - I own both and have used them extensively -
Overall the Blackwidow Elite wins - yes the huntsman is great and has slightly softer to press switches - but it kinda feels slightly gimmicky - the switches feel a bit synthetic and not real mechanical feeling like the Normal Razer switches -
Overall - the Blackwidow Elite wins
Just want to add - the new Razer Switches have ZERO key wobble - I have two Blackwidow Elites - with green and Yellow switches and both are awesome - i alternate every couple of days as i cant really decide which i prefer - Yellow or green -
For me - the most impressive thing about the Blackwidow Elite is the awesome Costar Stabilizers - they have ZERO rattle - compared to my Corsair K70's ( i have 3 ) which are now all gathering dust - I've tried to lube and mod my K70's stabilizers but it still doesn't feel as good as the Costar stabs on the Razer boards -
My only gripe with the new Razer boards is the cheap and flimsy volume Wheel ?? - it's total trash - On my huntsman its stiff and grinds like its hooking on something and on my Blackwidow Elite with the Green switches its erratic - doesn't control the volume smoothly and accurately - sometimes when I turn down the volume jumps up slightly before coming down - Razer really dropped the ball with the cheap flimsy lucky packet level volume wheels - - this is one area Corsair blows Razer out the water - the Volume wheel on the Corsair boards is on another level completely -
I'm wishing for 3 things for future Razer boards
1. High quality volume Wheel
2. Lose the gimmicky Media buttons - this is a gaming board - not a music player
3. all metal case - top and bottom -
if Razer does this - it'll be an all time best ever Gaming keyboard - Period
but if the media buttons have to stay - at least use Mechanical switches - not cheap rubber dome - after all - is this an all mechanical keyboard or not ?

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

They are pretty loud... I find myself trying to type very quietly when my gf is sleeping. Still my top pick keyboard from Razer but not the stealthiest.

If you can go to local store and see your self 😛 Every razer mechanical keybord have cut-out for arrow keys so you can cheack it on your own and see if you like them. I use previous blackwidow X chroma with green and yeah it's little louder but not that mouch,

I think for those with doubts you ought to at least give it a chance. :)



While the print on the keys are not backlit, you'd be pretty hard pressed to forget what they are. There are only three smaller keys: the left key is previous, the middle key is play/pause and the right key is next and the volume key is a bit bigger than the others. All of them are lit around the edges just like regular keys. I have memory issues and brain fog, and I doubt even I will need to use a flashlight to remember what is written on top of the keys. :big_grin_:
Also, they don't feel cheap at all, I'm not sure where that came from. *shrugs*

I think it's a beautiful piece of hardware, and I'm really drawn to how the wrist rest lights up, it really adds that little extra something. :)

Hes just being one of those picky keyboard people that if it doesn't come with everything he wants he will complain about the small things The keyboard has RGB lights all over it and its first time including real MM keys so really nothing to complain about

No one barely uses the 5 marco keys

Personally, I use all of my 5 macro keys but I can see how some people wouldn't care

I just think its a waste of space and it gets in the way I like simple keyboards no extra marcos just MM keys and the keyboard itself. Razer should just make it so when you buy a keyboard it ask "Do you want Marco keys included?"
hmm I think my Black Widow needs an upgrade 😃
Looks sick! Guess i need one!
look pretty *_*

Any ideas on UK availability?
