Update 11/28/19 I deleted a bunch of the review that wasnt relevent as I have learned more about the keyboard/ software and lighting since owning it.
I am able to keep a static color now that i uninstalled Synapse. On the 11/13/2019 update below(I deleted that update) I still had Synapse installed and at times I would open it and then disable it and that is why it was changing my colors. If I keep it deactived or uninstalled the keyboard remember my color even after a restart or waking from sleep.
Update 11/11/2019 I found you can change colors via the Keyboard only using the FN and CTRL keys(hold both down) along with keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 keys(use these to change colors, strobe, etc). the #2 key(press FN and CTRL keys first, holding both down) is the one you use to cycle thru the static colors. It is not very intuitive but you will figure if you play with them. I happened to come across this watching a YouTube review and someone in the comments mentioned it. If Razer talks about how to do this I seemed to have missed it in the manual.
After finding this out I would give the Razer KB a 5 and recommend it over the Steelseries TKL Omipoint. The Steelseries is nice but I prefer the Razer and the price of the Razer was $80 less when I purchased each one. The Razer was listed as used and in Acceptable shape with damage. But the damage was only on the packaging and the keyboard was like new inside the box. I have found a lot of products on Amazon listed as damaged it is only the packaging that is damaged and the product is in perfect condition. I have saved $200 EACH on some items like motherboards, GPU’s and monitors buying the “damaged” item and inside it a like new product.
Initial review: Very limited time with these devices so just some quick initial impressions. I have the new Viper Ultimate mouse and the Huntsman TE Keyboard and am having issue after issue with the software(Synapse). This will be kind of random as I will add feedback as I use the devices.
I do really like the mouse and keyboard overall, they feel like high-quality materials it is just the software and not storing color profiles that is a BIG negative for me. I also have the new Steelseries Apex Pro TKL with the Omipoint switches and the switches are quite a bit smoother feeling to me. The Steelseries is MUCH quieter than the Razer, the Razer keyboard is LOUD. The Razer sounds cheap/clanky/hollow but feels very solid when typing or gaming on it. Also, the Steelseries can be used without any software installed and you can change settings directly via the keyboard.
The Razer keycaps are much better quality “feeling” to me. They have a slightly textured and heavy/weighty feel verse the Steelsires smoother keycaps and light/hollow feel. If you are OK with having the Razer software installed and a REALLY LOUD keyboard I would go for the Razer over the Steelseries considering the price difference. To me, the Razer feels just as “fast” as the Steelseries with the Ominipoints adjusted to .4mm activation point. Both are very sensitive and you have to be careful if you rest you fingers on keys it is easy to “set them off”.
I am adding my review of the mouse here because Amazon won’t let me post a review saying”Amazon has noticed unusual reviewing activity on this product. Due to this activity, we have limited this product to verified purchase reviews.” I purchased the mouse directly from Razer’s online store.
But you need to install the software to deactivate the lights on the mouse and charging base. One big drawback is without the software you will have no way of telling the battery level without the software installed, not that I can see anyway.
For comparison, I also have a g903, G203, Model 0 and Model 0-. I prefer them in this order Razer Viper Ultimate, G203, Model O-, Model 0 and G903 for gaming. For general desktop use, the G903 is hands-down the best/my favorite with the “hyper scroll”.

This keyboard surprised me by its build quality. The metal top plate with the subtle Razer name etched into it is very tasteful, and the PBT keycaps that come with this board are phenomenal. You probably won’t find better on any other mainstream brand. They have slight texture, which I liked, and the font is also attractive. RGB was also bright and understated by the dark metal back plate, giving the board a professional vibe. Removable USB-C is also a great addition, putting this keyboard in line with other mechanical keyboards like the Ducky One 2 TKL or Mini.
Having said that, I returned this keyboard.
The new red “opto-mechanical” switches are linear and have an actuation travel distance of only 1mm. That is faster than even other switch manufacturers “speed” switches. I can see this being a great feature if your main reason for purchasing this keyboard is for shooters or games requiring fast reflexes. Otherwise, the short actuation makes typing and other tasks more difficult without carefully using the keyboard. I mainly play shooters casually and MMO’s like Final Fantasy 14.
I found myself pressing the windows key or alt with my palm, which is user error of course. I simply do not want to have to be so light handed when using my keyboard. I would also recommend at least getting a palm rest so that you don’t have to “hover” type to avoid accidentally pressing unwanted keys. HOWEVER, I still recommend this keyboard if you know what you’re getting into. I desperately wish Razer could offer this keyboard with their orange switches or even a new tactile optical switch with a higher actuation point. The build quality alone made me think twice about returning it.

Excited to try Razer’s “optical switch” keyboard!
First of all, very nice compact size and premium matt finish, with its special optical switch, the triggering speed is crazy, for many times when I just sliding finger across the space key, it will get triggered anyway, that’s maybe too sensitive lol
Another thing to be noticed is its noise, I heard this one is already quieter than traditional mechanical keyboard but it’s still kinda loud (you will feel it in my attached video)
Overall it’s such a nice keyboard, worth the money and name!

Great for gaming! I’d definitely recommend it to anyone. The keys are VERY sensitive (you can lift it up about 1cm and then drop it, the space bar will activate). Lighting is perfect, the odd spot where it isn’t as bright isn’t all that big of an issue due to the fact that the key caps are doubleshot pbt. Feels sturdy and isn’t too loud, very easy to clean. If you’re like me and still need a numpad then they only cost £10 for a usb one, with that being the only drawback it’s perfect.

After loving the wired Viper so much and purchasing the Ultimate, I decided to give Razer another shot with the Huntsman TKL. I have had two of these boards and was not satisfied with either. The first one just seemed odd. I figured it was the actuation force and distance of the optical switches. I returned it. After being disappointed with the keyboard I went with after the Huntsman TKL, I decided to give Razer another shot. I was determined to get used to the switches, because I figured it was best to go with Razer considering Synapse is running on my computer for the Viper Ultimate.
I went a good 3 weeks with the second Huntsman TKL. Times when I felt like my character in game was moving without actuating a key, I just brushed it aside and blamed it on my heavy hand. I was wrong. I caught it. Several times my character in game began moving in a direction I didn’t want it to; I pulled my hand completely off the board and my character would keep strafing in one direction (most often to the right and with the D key). Having used Cherry MX Silver switches in the past, I truly believe some people claiming the Huntsman TKL is just really sensitive are having the same issues I encountered. I wouldn’t recommend this board to anyone and I don’t trust it.
It is a shame, really. The decision to move to double shot pbt, standard bottom row, and subtle branding on the board are A+ decisions. Where the board goes south for me is in the optical red switches. They went too far. They are too sensitive, and I question their long-term reliability. If you’re looking for a mouse, I can comfortably suggest both Viper models. Both the wired and wireless versions I purchased were perfect, and I have even come to love the side buttons. For keyboards, I can’t recommend the Huntsman TKL.

Feeling of caps very unique, positive. No delay. Brightness is great. Perfect for gaming, all keys still function as if it were new.

Un gran teclado para los juegos. Vengo de usar un teclado Romer-G y la verdad la diferencia es notable.
Este teclado solo requiere 40 gramos de presión para que reaccion. ¿Qué quiere decir esto? significa que no es necesario que apachurres la tecla hasta al fondo, como microbusero echando carreritas. Una tercera parte del recorrido de la tecla, será más que suficiente.
Eso si, este teclado no es para cualquiera. Hay personas que odian el ruido que hacen la teclas, para mí es bastante aceptable. Y al principio parece difícil acostumbrarse, ya que no requiere tanta fuerza en las teclas y esto te puede llevar a ver oprimidas otras teclas. Con el paso del tiempo te acostumbras y sin problema alguno.
Si te recomendaría que entraras a alguna página donde “aprendes” a teclear de manera correcta, para que te vayas acostumbrando a este teclado.
