Just to be clear, the sound test comparison was done with Cherry/Kailh reds. So focus on the body/case sound and the rattle.

[@therealbiggiecheese7034]

Are there any keyboard with optical switches that don’t rattle or have a metal tang sound? I hear that in reviews of most optical keyboards.

[@flashbits6614]

Hey man, even tho you are explicitly stating you are comparing them to kailh red switches, Its not really optimal to make a sound comparison with different switch types. The click of the purple optical drowns out most of the other noises in a sound test recorded with a mic. Please use mx blues or other switches for a comparison, otherwise it's pointless. I also would like to point out that gateron reds defintly feel not as smooth as the razer reds. I agree that the purple switches aren't the greatest feel and soundwise, because the clicker defeats the greatest aspect of a contactless switch:the smoothness. The optical reds however are great in the feel department and blow mx and gateron reds away in term of keyfeel. With the new dampening in the v2 reds the sound should be improved too. I'm currently recording my review of the huntsman mini and agree on your criticism on the pricing tho. :) maybe you consider hopping by and give your feedback. (At least on the technical aspect of my videos, since they are in german) This is not intended as hate at all. Just a different perspective :) Ps: And from the reviews you mocked in your intro I didn't get the vibe this was the best keyboard ever. More like this is solid in comparison to most mass market boards (aka. Logitech, corsair etc.)

It's a good board. But it's just lost it's potential from the 60% layout. My Huntsman TE, which is basically the same keyboard as this but bigger, sounds and feels way better than this keyboard. And also cheaper. Recommend you get that or if you really need a 60%, The Ducky One2 Mini.

[@randomfrankp]

I think the biggest thing you're missing about the Mini is the optical switches. So to answer your question at 11:52 & 14:33 - optical switches with no metallic contact with the PCB and a 100 million lifespan vs 50 million lifespan is the reason why people would pick this. That's what they bring to the table over Ducky. Also, people were praising the new Red switches because they're miles better than their previous iteration of the red switches. Is this the best keyboard on the market? No, but I also haven't seen a review where someone claimed it was.

[@TheTechne]

Hey there Frank nice to chat again. Cherry MX also have 100m now. Sure the red switches were upgraded, does that make them better yes, but good.......ehhhhhh, also praising razer for being able to finally adjust onboard rgb? Come on man, we have to be transparent and consistent with our viewers. Not company pets. If another board of this caliber was being reviewed it would be trashed especially at the price point, even at the 99$ you said it should be at. Yes we should stay focused on the product at hand, but it a shame to influence viewers to buy this board, you can beat around about it, but there is nothing that makes this board worth 120-130$. And many of the reviews did say it was great and a good buy. So you as a person that has reviewed many boards and built many, know this board is not worth the asking price or the good reviews. I could have praised this board, said it was a good buy, got on razers a good side, maybe got a nice promo tweet with my channel in it, banked off affiliated links, and not replying to comments like this. But man this is why I made this channel in the first place.

[@randomfrankp]

@@TheTechne Yes I said it would be better priced at $99. But again, optical switches do have an advantage vs traditional switches. No metallic contact is a huge thing that you're overlooking. Also, Cherry's standards have plummeted over the years and they've become a laughing stock in the community, that's why you're seeing Gateron take over. I mentioned onboard RGB as a bonus because 99% of the people hate Synapse, and now with onboard lighting profiles you dont technically need Synapse. I also dogged them for Synapse in my review. Again you're completely entitled to your opinion obviously, and I know you weren't directly talking to me in the first place - but I felt I had to respond. I think calling this keyboard "garb" is a bit much though.

[@TheTechne]

PS frank: I use to work 12yrs of upper retail management (awhile ago) and you know we had to “sell” products, and I did it as it was my livelihood/career. I know many other tech tubers that use this platform as their jobs and main source of income. That is a very big driving force with youtubers, and I totally understand it, but that is not my way. This is not my main source of income and never will be my “job”. My point here, is don’t let money drive you. You have been very successful, and make great vids. But again man stay true, and inform your viewers the FrankP way, not the company way.

[@lamertofar8gaming443]

@@randomfrankp what do you think is the best keyboard

[@TheTechne]

randomfrankp man again I 100% agree with you, and love the talk. Hope we have many more in the future. My point is right there though. Many keyboard fans hate on cherry mx, these are in no way any better than them, sure the actuation is nice but other than that, they are a loud rattling switch. Others hate on the sound of a SteelSeries board or Logitech board, yet here we are with it being acceptable on this board. Why? It can’t be one way and not the other. Again my main point here is, so many razer reviews lately have been “my new main” “listing to the community” razer is a company/business that knows what will sell, they research these things, they are following trends. That’s what companies do sure, but stop fluffing razer up already. Also have you watched/read other reviews on this board? Some/many of them again are like, really???

[@Bennethon]

I started following you because I could tell you were being honest, instead of gushing over every new product. Keep it real man!

[@AustinJones330]

I bought the Huntsman a couple weeks ago and it actually delivers today. I think the only reason I get Razer products is because I’m new to the PC game. Been a console player my whole life, over two decades. I think the packaging and overall aesthetics of Razer’s stuff was just very appealing to me, plus it had a very high quality look at feel to it. Especially from someone who had no context on what to look for in good peripherals. I love the Ornata Chroma I have and I liked the Naga Trinity I have (recently switched to a Logitech). The Kraken Tournament headset is also fantastic but, there’s just so many different companies that make the same products that it’s so easy to get lost in the sea of price ranges, values, quality etc. that at the end of the day all someone like me looks for is what feels and looks the best.

[@ADreamingTraveler]

Some of Razer's stuff isn't that bad. The quality used to be pretty atrocious a decade ago but they've thankfully been listening to the community and improving things a ton. I'm still a big fan of the Deathadder when it comes to mice because of how comfortable it feels

[@thesyedmuhd]

TLDR : it has the fastest possible switch available in a 60% board currently, which makes people attracted to it. No other 60% board has it. the thing which differentiates it from other keyboards, love it or hate it, is the SWITCHES. They are specifically aimed at GAMERS and ESPORT PLAYERS who want possibly the fastest switch available, and it is those consumers who wont are too much about the feel as want they are after is RAW PERFORMANCE.

[@loak3d]

Faster does not always mean better. Especially when referencing use for online and competitive games that have to travel through many layers of latency, that .1 or .2ms of actuation on a kb is going to get gobbled right up by Either latency from isp, net code from the game, slow servers, anything really.. There are so many anomalies that can happen when playing *Esports* and competitve style games. The real world difference in Gaming with a Linear switch Vs an optical Linear will never be felt by a human. Now just because you see bugha or some of his fans and followers using apex boards, doesn't mean they are better than traditional MX style switches. In theory Optical could be the play one day. Right now they are not as refined as some would like.

[@Volcerson]

David Glass it’s still a good keyboard rather you like it or hate it because of the faster reaction time then any other keyboard and it’ll give an advantage for you to shoot before your opponent does and secure the kill plus it’s mainly meant for gaming esports so you can be faster than your opponent especially if you have 0 ping and every good keyboard is gonna cost around 60 to 100$

Index I personally use lubed creams so once i used my friend’s version of this board (in the red variant) the ping was impossible for me to not hear. My GK61 has box jades and oh my those are LOUDD.

I think you're missing the fact that the Huntsman Mini with red switches is objectively the most competitive 60% board in gaming. I understand the build quality and options of the others but a Ducky One 2 with Speed silvers can't touch the Red Huntsman in actuation and speed.

[@TheTechne]

again it doesn’t justify the price tag, and similar things on this keyboard would have been trashed on another. Plus why not go apex pro if you want fast? Cost more yes, but packs way more than this.

[@demontekdigital1704]

Honesty is paramount in reviews, and I completely appreciate yours! Barring that I'll point out why Razer owners typically buy Razer more completely over other products (aside from the trend). It has more to do with your lighting ecosystem, and having all your peripherals on Synapse for the full light customization across multiple devices. We all know Razer isn't of the highest build quality in some cases (mice), but their lighting, and software are top notch. I had a Utechsmart giant RGB mousepad, and although it was way thicker, and better neoprene, the lights ended up being garbage, and within about 4 months started to die. I since switched to the Razer Firefly V2 hard surface, and absolutely love it. This is being typed on a Blackwidow X Chroma TE V1 that I've had for roughly 5 or so years, and it's still a kickass keyboard. Thank you for this video, and once again, thank you for your honesty!

The fact the letter "B" is a completely different key cap than the rest of the board is my biggest issue. It is driving me nuts. The review copies you see and on the product box the board has a matching "B" key cap. The one you receive when YOU buy it, will have a "B" key cap different than the rest of the board. It is even positioned higher, than every other key in that row. The Windows key is also different and is brighter than the rest of the board. How didn't you see this?

[@whitegoodman7465]

[@deviledangel5902]

I like the sound of the keyboard tbh ⌨️

[@yakun_kopi]

There is so much hype around this keyboard is because of it's extremely fast optical switches, something rarely (and maybe never?) found in a 60% keyboard. This is also the first 60% gaming keyboard by a large company, and the fact that Razer is going into these enthusiast-ish keyboards might inspire other big companies like Logitech, Corsair, Steelseries etc to explore these 60% enthusiast-ish community. The hype isn't about this keyboard being better than most other 60% keyboards at this price point.

[@TheTechne]

Wait that’s kinda all over the place. So other companies have done 60%, hyperx and redragon, Logitech also did hot swap. The “razer” switch is licensed out through a4tech/bloody. And 60% boards are mainly a trend, they sell these companies aren’t stupid. And sure the switches are fast, but they sound like complete trash, reviewers can rant about that on other boards but not this one? Weird

[@yakun_kopi]

@@TheTechne Correct me if I'm wrong, hyperx's 60% keyboard was merely a collaration, and I don't consider redragon to be a BIG gaming company. And yes, Razer has been venturing more into the enthusiast-ish side of things with features on the Huntsman TE and now the Huntsman mini, so I believe very soon they will be releasing a 60% hotswappable keyboard. I think you're overly critical about the sound of Razer's switches, because that's not exactly what people were raving about in the first place. People were raving about other aspects. It's like looking at the Logitech G915 and then constantly complaining about the Micro-USB cable. Yes, that's a valid concern, but the hype around the keyboard is that it is lightspeed and low profile. In this case, no one was raving about the sound of these switches, so I felt that it was weird that you kept ranting about it. Anyways, not a razer fanboy in anyway. I use a RK61 and a Logitech G604.

[@vile1009]

Well after my huntsman TE stopped working I decided I’m done with razers optical switches. 7 random keys stopped working, the RGB Only would glow one color, and the key would go black if it went to a color it wouldn’t display. And the 7 keys also didn’t work, then I’d wake up the next day and the RGB and key would work fine. Then would randomly stop working. Luckily they weren’t super important keys but in the end I got screwed over. It never got wet or dirty either. I cleaned it regularly and never drink at my desk.

@NYC2LA I don't hate Razer, I hate sponsored reviews. And I wasn't even talking about the product or buying it I was talking about the reviews

[@hoowoo320]

@@brock8140 what if the product is actually good? Then you still will think it is bad just because it has many sponsered review?

[@hoowoo320]

@NYC2LA because I am stupid and the razer design always gets me. Many times they announced a new product and I say "damn it looks good" and I just buy it. Most of them won't last over 3 monthes without any issue specially their mice. But I gotta say their keyboards are actually ok. I have bought 4 keyboards from razer so far and none of them had issues which is surprising.

[@Prezi4Everything]

Mate, it's a great Board, but if you din't like this one. Check Out their new 2nd Gen Switches on the Mercury Version.

[@ryanflores844]

finally someone with an honest review instead of praising those terrible sounding switches. the board as a whole sounds very low quality

[@OzKo]

Wdym terrible sounding switches, the clicky switches sound crisp and sharp and the linear switches are quiet and dampened. You cant critique a keyboard based off the sound.

[@Marco-mm3bd]

Thanks so much for the review!! Just want to let you know that your really patient about KZbin!! You just got out of surgery and your right back on KZbin!! My mans a legend 😃

[@tylersmith9972]

The switches sound like there stinging you ._. 4:53

Hey man, I’ve heard lots of people say the red switches have no rattle are you gamma be reviewing the reds?

[@shlooky]

the reds rattle as well.

[@0tjj]

@@shlooky nope

[@kopicha]

everyone can have their own preference.review is just as a reference to get some better understanding with the product that you may not have the chance to hands on. eg. personally despite the noise of the huntsman TE, that is my personal fav keyboard and my main driver. you dont have to listen to any recommend from any reviewer not this channel and not any other channel either. go with your heart.

[@diegoboi2662]

Can you try the red switches when it comes out? I would like to hear the new sound, thanks!

[@dude9237]

YoItzMatthew it’s definitely personal preference but reds aren’t clicky so of course they will obviously sound quieter and not as loud as a clicky switch

[@TheTechne]

I want to but that also makes it 20$ more, the board itself isn’t worth that price.

[@nolansnyder8374]

Really appreciate the honest review and your opinion. Loving my Mecha Mini and I’m glad with that decision. Keep making awesome videos!!

11:57 nah bcz it has optical switchs and optical is faster

[@Wontonslol]

Like it matters

[@fireroc2]

it has terrible debounce time added though so its as slow as those other keyboards lol. stupid ass razer firmware

[@MrGhostYT_]

The linear switches on the 60% razer keyboard are significantly quieter than the linear switches on the TKL variant. I just wanted to point that out.

[@TheTechne]

Yes, I stated that in the vid.

[@MrGhostYT_]

@@TheTechne Oh really? I didn't hear you say anything about that lol. I wonder if you're going to do a video on the same keyboard but with the linear switches.

[@TheTechne]

Ghost Den I want to, but man 130$ is still heavy for what I get. Maybe I can ask razer to send me one, lol. Doubt that will go well.

[@MrGhostYT_]

@@TheTechne It's all good man! Heck, you don't have to do one if you don't want to ;)

[@rafaresus8785]

Ive been waiting for this lol!

[@xtoxicx_]

I already have the razer mini, it's lasted me years I replaced the key caps and that's it, the original key caps were clickey and grainy but that gave it grip

[@dolphin6926]

Which switches?

[@xkleeborp465]

I definitely think that the board is overpriced at 119.00. I feel like a solid price point for this board would have been 100 bucks, but they cant price it that cheap because of the Oranta V2 which never needed a refresh. I understand somebody wanting a board like this on their desk for the in-game integration that Razer offers (lots of games make the keyboard change colors and highlight your nav cluster and such), but at the current price point it's sitting at, it's not a great recommendation. On a side-note Razer Purple switches are my least favorite switch they produce. Too crunchy feeling and the noise is deafening. I feel like if they had released this board with their normal mechanical switches for maybe 90 bucks (sounds cheap but if you look at their mechanical boards vs the optical ones it follows their price trend) it would be a solid buy.

[@lyzex520]

yeah but idk but the main selling points is that the razer is that the switches are faster and gives you a comp edge and you can also set macros, which I think it is good for gaming, and thats what the purpose is. So ill let you think abt it

[@LynneConnolly]

For a typist, these optical switches are a dream. Gamers might not like them so much. They're loud, sure, but they feel so good and they're less fatiguing than traditional switches. Just got one on a discount, and now I have a keeb to take away with me!

[@zv9]

Don’t deny it Lynne, you’re a gamer!

[@LynneConnolly]

@@zv9 eh, maybe. Might have more than one keeb.

[@NateGamesthebestgamer]

the response time on the huntsman is so much better than the other keyboards though

[@rookt31893]

The only other thing I can add to this is that the switches have a faster activation time due to the nature of the optical switches. However, that only really applies to the top 1 percent of people that require that millisecond of response time. However for your average consumer, you're pretty much on point. 120 ish bucks puts this board into the realm of the Mecha Mini. I could only see this being an option if you need a 60 percent board RIGHT NOW from your local best Buy. Not sure who that dude is. Probably the same person Google made Stadia for.

[@user-fh1xq6ij9t]

Thanks for review Techne, you get a lot of respect in my book. All the other reviews I've seen on this board all literally sound the exact same like they are literally reading a script for their review lol. Guess some people just want free products and try to push hype for their affiliate links regardless of how good or bad the product may be. I like Razer stuff, but I think at this price it's not justifiable at all to consider this board with others out like there like you said. If they continue to work on their boards not just reduce footprint, like improve stabilizers, sound dampening and such they will be headed in the right direction.

[@Shangry_]

my opinion is: you should buy razer huntsman mini if you want a fast keyboard, the actuation point of the razer's red switches is 1.0mm

[@CutsByCorey24]

I genuinely love the way your selling me the venus and i most definitely would switch em if I didn’t already buy it lol

[@fireice1234567]

Get well soon Tehcne! You are the real MVP man. Churning these videos just after surgery. I always watch your reviews before making a purchase. Take care buddy!

[@K4D3N_1C]

I’m pretty sure they fixed the switches if anyone was wondering

[@nathanielho1974]

man just got out of surgery and continued doing what he loved, thats some passion!!

My wife didn’t think that way, lol.

[@starkillerren442]

[@davetechme]

I'm a fan of the Kemove Shadow/Snowfox. Great value for the money. You might think you don't need hotswap but when you inevitably get the itch, you can scratch with new switches and get some relief.

[@jacksondreadful7703]

Attention: The Blackwidow Mini V3 will not connect with the Razer Viper Ultimate mouse on the same dongle. Even though it says it connects to other Hyperspeed devices, both devices do not connect.

[@infamousfoxy9283]

Any chance you'll make a video on the red switch of this keyboard when it comes out?

[@TheTechne]

I have been thinking about it, and I honestly think it will go the same way

[@acsolft]

I was wondering about buying this keyboard for Christmas, well thank you for helping me find out if I should buy it, you deserve a sub and I’m glad you’re surgery went good. 👍🏽

[@alexburch7238]

No debouncing, it’s the only reason I still use a huntsman over my custom board for some things. It’s made a noticeable difference in games for me, especially like osu.

[@raceeht]

I bought this keyboard (im typing on it right now) and it actually sounds really good. I plan on getting linears for it later but right now I have the clicky switches and for clicky switches, these sound amazing. Not hating on the review just pointing out for people scrolling through the comments.

[@bignick5012]

The mini has a higher actuation than a TE, the TE has 1mm actuation and 40g actuation force, the mini has a 1.2mm actuation and 48g actuation force

[@Joshua-tm5ob]

My guy just got out of surgery the day before but still had to make a banger video for everyone. Mad respect man. Keep up the amazing videos.!!🔥👍🏼

[@jakedsully]

Durgod Venus has a major problem freezing. Randomly the keyboard will just lock up on the last key press and won’t correct itself until unplugged and plugged back in. Check amazon reviews. Lots of people are having this issue. Just has to return today trying huntsman mini.

[@TheDredgenProject]

Dude here take my sub. I also made a review of this and it is currently loading. I had to post it asap as the "reviews" on KZbin are way too positive about this. It sounded bad on the videos but they kept saying it has improved and hyping up stuff that was already on the market way way before. Well it has improved since the previous one was bad, but the competition is better and cheaper. After using this, I now think of those content creators not as reviewers but advertisers. You. Keep doing you.

[@TheTechne]

lol, thank you so much. I also watched yours, and you nailed it man.

[@TheDredgenProject]

@@TheTechne Thanks! Appreciate it. Have a speedy recovery!

These reviews are so professional. Ty for helping me pick out my headset, ive decided to go with the Redragon Zeus.

[@billyleecw]

You spit some hard facts right there. I am so sick of reviewers not telling it like it is. They review the latest products from companies like Razer/Logitech for example and make the audience think that its incredible but yet they default to the Viper Ultimate/G Pro Wireless and an expensive ass custom mech as main. We aren’t fools, tell it like it is. Thanks for your honesty! Its refreshing.
