Hello Insiders!
With many models and types of keyboards to choose from, it can be difficult to choose a keyboard that suits your preferences. Between those intense gaming sessions or those long office workdays, this is a guide to help answer that age-old question, “Which keyboard is best for me?”. This is the second iteration of this thread.
This thread will be separated into 5 sections:
1. Introduction
2. Membrane / Mecha-Membrane Keyboards
3. Mechanical Keyboards
4. Optical Keyboards
5. Conclusion
You may view all sections, or you can just choose to read the specific one(s) which you are interested in.
Section 1: Introduction to Razer’s Lineup:
At the time of writing this guide, Razer sells four different types of keyboards: Membrane, Mecha-Membrane, Mechanical and Optical. They are all each very different, and all have different price points.
Razer also offers three different sizes of keyboards: Full size, and tenkeyless (TKL), and 60%. I will mention the latter two more when we get to the “Mechanical” and “Optical” keyboard sections.

I've got the Huntsman TE in my shopping cart at the moment and this article has given me more information to fuel the choice. Thank you for the thorough explanations here.

Will Razer Huntsman is the best for me but I didn't buy it until now
appreciate having this information here to help those who need it, even if hving it very clearly on the razer.com store would be better in so many ways
I feel like a traitor, as i a have the Steelseries Apes Pro.
Wanted to get the Huntsmann V2 analogue, but it was a need right now basis. Will eventually upgrade, and give the Steelseries away to someone who will enjoy it more.

Does anyone know which keyboard on the currently available roster would be most similar to the old Razer Arctosa? I love how low the buttons are on it as well as the ability to play/pause and skip media forward of backwards.
My boyfriend has the keyboard with the rest for his wrist, I'm probably gonna get a pink version of that model when I build my own setup.

Already got the huntsman TE
Hello friends,
The Razer Huntsman V2 Analog remains my familiar keyboard right now. With the layout of important keys, and there are many colors for users like me to freely choose.
However, there are some small bugs, not knowing why.

I just bought a razor chroma x and I love it so far (fingers crossed). I got it because the word is that they have greatly improved their switches. Hopefully that's true, because it wasn't cheap!

I'm a fan of both mechanic and membrane types, but probably the best would be a mecha-membrane in this case a Ornata model.
i would go for Mechanical keyboards because mechanical devices containing sliders and spring mechanisms, called switches, beneath each key to provide the typist with palpable feedback. The sensation is similar to electrical typewriters of the 90's and can differ depending on the type of switch used.
I would want a huntsman.
This is a seriously well written article and very well layed out. Thank you @Jenjar
Wish you wrote it a few weeks back when I was seriously considering Membrane vs Mechanical and which switched. Which then became Blackwidow vs Elite.
Needless to say the BlackWidow ELite won and I'm so happy with my decision. Anyone ever reading this and feeling torn, go for the BlackWidow Elite. I was told a KB is a KB, well let me tell you once you've been on the BlackWidow Elite (Especially coming from an el-cheapo entry level membrane keyboard with a scarlet lizard on it), you will never look at KB's the same way again. Well done team Razer on a superior and amazing product!

Great list but for the moment I would advise any owner of an AMD X570 motherboard to avoid the Huntsman Mini, Many threads about it on this forum and on Reddit causing various issues due to a bad firmware update a few months ago, It seems specific to this 1 Razer keyboard.
GREAT INFO ON THIS TOPIC
