Which is why it’s such a lamentable shame that Razer neglected the software side of the equation.
The Huntsman Mini is set to compete with a range of “enthusiast” keyboards like theGK61and theAnne Pro.
Razer allows some programming on the Huntsman Mini.
It’s an unpardonable mistake on a board like this.
Instead, it’s relegated to a nice but deeply flawed entry in Razer’s lineup.
Flip the board over, and you’ll no longer be in doubt as to who makes it.
A nice touch: The fold-out feet come in two stages, allowing for three different angles for comfort.
In fact the whole thing is great as a portable board, lack of a Bluetooth option notwithstanding.
Razer alleges that this makes its keyboard the fastest on the market.
Actually using the keys is pleasant enough.
Not that these linear switches are quiet: quite the opposite.
It’s pretty dang noisy, and the mechanism is a little more wobbly than I’m used to.
Razer also offers this board with clicky optical switches.
I’d say it’s perfectly serviceable if you like linear switches.
It makes typing feel a lot better.
Playing games with the Huntsman Mini took a lot more adjustment.
It’s nothing intolerable but may take a lot of adjustment depending on what you’re used to.
Software
Which is more than I can say for Razer’s software on the Hunstman Mini.
The software itself is fine … the programming limitations are not.
In practice, this makes the Huntsman Mini almost unusable for me.
