But do your research. There are a bunch of different versions. Get the gen2 switches, they're the latest and are really nice. And IMO avoid the analog version. It's more expensive, and the analog feature has a lot of mixed reviews. I don't know if the switches are identical otherwise, as I've only used the gen2 optical switches. I'm considering getting a Tartarus Pro that comes with the V2 analog switches though, and I'll update this review with my thoughts on that if I end up buying it.
*Update*
I did get the Tartarus Pro, as well as another Huntsman V2 TKL for a different PC in my house. That's how much I liked it. The Tartarus Pro is very similar. It's not as quiet, a bit more clicky, but still well within the category of quiet mechanical switches. I think it has a tad more key travel, but otherwise is very similar to the Huntsman V2. It's not something everyone would find useful but I'm liking it. Anyway, if you're debating between the V2 linear switches and the V2 analog, I would lean towards the standard linear switch. The added functionality you get from the analog seems kinda useless to me. It's really a no contest kind of decision unless you are very very sure that the analog feature is something you can't live without.
Couple of thing you should know before you buy. 1) There is no USB/media passthrough. It does only take up one usb slot on your computer, but if you utilized it before, you will not with this keyboard. 2) I wish the media wheel did more. It works fine for volume and mute, but setting up anything else takes some work and there is not a lot there that really makes it anymore than that. 3) And this is a big OCD thing. The magnetic wrist wrest does not physically attach to the keyboard. So if you reposition the keyboard, you have to reposition the wrist wrest, and even if you don't, there is not left/right stabilization. 4) Unless you are changing the color of the keycaps, pudding/phantom keycaps will not illuminate around the key. The LED is located at the top of the optical switch.
All and all it's an amazing keyboard. At the price point, you are really comparing it to the K100. It does not have the bells and whistles, at least outside the software, but the tying experience is smoother in a smaller footprint.

This keyboard improves in every way from the original. The biggest shame is that I didn’t upgrade because I was ready or wanted a new keyboard but because Razer has yet to fix a bug they’ve known about since August.
So before I get into that let me tell you the things I really like about this keyboard. First it used the improved linear switches from the Razer Huntsman Mini which was already quieter than my previous keyboard the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition. Key typing on this keyboard sounds like using a piece of hardware that costs over $100 versus the TE which was so loud that I’d often have to mute my mic when talking to friends or they’d complain about the key presses. The dampening foam also really helps keep the keyboard very quiet as well. The rounded edges on the metal plate beneath the keys also feels very refined when compared to my TE. There’s also the new setting for this keyboard in Synapse but personally I can’t really tell the difference between the typing and gaming mode but your mileage may vary. The keyboard also offers an 8K Hz polling rate but ultimately that feature is far less useful when used on a keyboard as compared to a mouse. There’s likely to be a bottleneck somewhere else in your system before the polling rate of your keyboard would make or break a play in a game. Also raising your polling rate will have an impact on CPU so there’s a trade off for that increased rate that ultimately doesn’t seem worth increasing over 1K Hz.
Now let me get into the main reason I had to buy this keyboard instead of just sticking with my TE which for all intents and purposes was fine. So since around August at least in Windows 10 (can’t say for 11 as I haven’t updated, want to wait a year for all the kinks to be worked out) there’s been a bug specifically with the Huntsman keyboards where when using a Ryzen 5000 series processor (it may affect Intel but I haven’t seen any reports of that being the case) the keyboard will essentially crash the taskbar on startup leading to long login times as well as a crashed task bar that either needs to be fixed via clicking on the taskbar or by using command prompt. Since the bug was discovered Razer has issued firmware updates for the other versions of the Huntsman keyboard but not the TE. Meaning since August I’ve been dealing with the bug with no end in sight. Now you can go into the HiD settings on windows and disable them until you find the one affecting the system but overall that’s a workaround and not a solution. I’ve reached out to support multiple times and have been told they are aware of the issue but don’t have a firmware update planned as of yet. So basically my only course of action is to sit on my hands and wait. So recently I decided to take the plunge and hope this keyboard since it’s new is without the same issues and works (lo and behold it works just fine).
Now I hear you ask why not just switch peripherals well it’s complicated, you see I have a Razer mousemat, mouse and headset that I really like! The Viper, Goliathus Extended Chroma, the Blackshark V2 Pro and I really don’t want to leave those so if I switch I’d have to either just replace the keyboard which means using two sets of software and dealing with whatever conflict that creates or trying to find and switch all my peripherals which can get quite expensive. I took the lesser of two evils and just bought a new keyboard.
That’s why this leaves me in a really hard place trying to recommend this keyboard to anyone. On the one hand it is really well built and feels like a quality product. The keys are smooth and silent, it’s well weighted so it won’t move around too much during play, it features a detachable USB cable so if the cable ever gets ruined you can just replace the cable instead of the whole keyboard it’s even braided/USB-C and the key caps are PBT instead of ABS so they won’t get that usual wear from frequent presses. That being said the keyboard is excellent now but what happens if another update breaks this keyboard and given what happened with the TE you’re just stuck with a bug you don’t have a fix for. All of this compounded on the fact that this keyboard retails for $40 more than the original TE. While we’re at that too why are features stripped away from this keyboard and only reserved for the full size version? Why doesn’t this keyboard have a USB pass through, RGB-led around it for under glow and magnetic connector for the wrist rest. If it’s to make the full size seem more appealing that’s silly because there are probably a lot of people like me who don’t even consider full size keyboards due to both desk space and personal preference. At least had those been included the price hike would have seemed justified. Instead it seems like you were unwilling to fix a bug with the original version and said screw it we’ll just release a new keyboard that improves onto the old one and we’ll charge more too.
Overall I really like this keyboard in fact I really like Razer, I do feel like that they make some of the best quality peripherals and accessories on the market. However not updating what was once your flagship keyboard in the Huntsman line for a known bug for 5 months seems like a slap in the face to anyone who bought it or had bought your products. Do better! Based on just the merits of this keyboard alone I’m going to give it 5-stars because like I said I really do like it! I just wish the choice to buy it had been my own and not because of a software bug.

The wrist rest is also nicer; the old Elite wrist wrest was RGB, but had a hard edge to it that bit into my wrists. Like the old one, it's magnetic, which is a nice touch. However, I still prefer the standalone Razer one better (which is similar to what comes with the blackwidow).
Most importantly, I find the keys a little (very slightly) stiffer than my Elite, and I simply prefer the Elite - so much so that I brought it back out and am using my old keyboard. I really wish they had a passthrough USB port on it, and I would love if there were a simple switch that would make the mode where if there were no software installed, it could have static lighting or no lighting at all (or, it would be amazing if it could be one of the in-keyboard memory profiles).
All that said, this is a fine keyboard, and I love the Razer keyboards more than any other brand I've tried, and the purple switches are, in my opinion, the best in the industry.
