One thing I’ve had to do while working from home is find compromise between gaming gear and work gear. Before the pandemic, I was used to using a Cherry MX Red keyboard at home. But now that I’m doing my daily work on it, I yearn for something more comfortable during extended typing sessions. Enter the Razer Huntsman, which is currently on sale at Amazon for $89.99 (down from $150).
In our Razer Huntsman review, we praised Razer's purple optical mechanical switches that actuate quickly like a Red switch, but also have the stability and clicky feeling of something like a Cherry MX Blue. That makes it a perfect compromise that keeps me from needing to swap keyboards when clocking in and out. Specifically, the Huntsman’s keys actuate at 1.55mm, require 45g of actuation force and have a light and clicky feeling when pressed. When combined with the Huntsman’s per-key RGB, 10-key rollover anti-ghosting and onboard storage you get a flexible keyboard that fits a lot of use cases.
