Razer Huntsman Mini with Clicky Purple Switchs - Get the linear version or something else

I had yellow Switches for over a year, previously I had blue Cherry mx a long time ago and now I have the Purple Switches and I love them! Is really personal if u like a switch or not. Purple for me is good, cause isnt hard to press but is clicky

[@SmileyFaceGo]

The typing test 3:49 , the shake/rattle test 3:29 , the test after the foam install 5:03 , and the close-up reverb sound test 6:00 (that I didn't even know was a thing) were more helpful than any other video on YT. It's true there aren't many clicky version video reviews and the ones that were there, I didn't like the sound for some reason, but this video made it more clear as to why than those. Kudos and respect! I waited for and got the more expensive Red Switches version because Chroma and i like the idea of a silent mechanical. It's unbelievably silent. A serious improvement over their previous Red and their Yellow linear switches. To the point that keycap dampeners don't make much of a difference. Anyways, great video! Keep up the good work!

[@MrTeknown]

I've got the tournament version with the red switches and I am still not fully accommodated with it. Linear with little feedback and a really high actuation is something that will take anyone a lot of time to get used to. It is not as bad as it was in the beginning, but still, I kinda wish I took the purple. I thought it was not as loud, but if you press the key fast and all the way, the key will hit the board making lots of noise.

[@bruh-ws3zc]

thanks for the feedback.

[@georgepierre3594]

[@MSN539]

Red is much better bro trust me. The actuation felt weird at first but you get used to it and it’s the best keyboard

[@MrTeknown]

@@MSN539 I have it for a couple of years now and I stopped double typing. I still enjoy it and had no trouble with it so far other than the sound which is not silent. The keys are silent, but having no feedback, I find myself pushing it all the way just to "be sure" when typing or gaming which makes the plastic on aluminium plate kind of noise which is as loud as it did when I first got it.

I returned my Purple Huntsman V2. The pinging apparently comes from the stabiliser I was told. It's not even a consistent sound, it happens likes every 4th stroke depending on force and angle, and this wasn't something I was willing to tolerate on a $150 keyboard. It's also really loud I couldn't hear people through headphones.

I did that and then bought one, and the model I bought was definitely pingier than the one that was on display. I think the ping has calmed down a bit over time (or I've gotten used to it). But I do really like the optical clicky switches. I believe it's the only clicky switch with click and actuation perfectly aligned (other than buckling springs).

[@xGEOxSDx]

I went from Razer linear tkl to clicky 60%. I'd say I wasn't a fan of the linear for general everyday uses, the actuation was too light and not having feedback is something I didn't enjoy. Also got the clicky optical for $93+ tax. I will say I also experience the pinging from the keyboard.

i have the linear version and I feel like something needs clarification: the huntsman mini keyboards are made more specifically for pro fps and esports players and the main selling point isn't the switch sounds or rgb, its actually the speed.

[@ionceateapinecone]

Just a heads up, what you pointed to wasn't "a very large LED". That's actually just a diffuser thing for the tiny SMD LEDs that are mounted on the PCB itself. The switches on the huntsman mini aren't electrically connected to anything (because optical switches are just a means of breaking the infrared beam that's projected across the gaps in the board where the switches go. Also, to lube the switches, simply push them out from the back of the board, press hold the switch down, and spray some aerosol dry lube into where the springs are (randomfrankp has a good video on this) Because of the nature of the switches, you'd be hard pressed to actually fuck them up with dry lube, but you do run the risk of breaking the little clips that hold the switches onto the board. This happened with one of my switches, but because I have the big brains, I just moved that switch over to one of the stabilized keys so it has extra points of contact holding the switch straight.

A custom mechanical keyboard is 100 times better... Razer's main selling point is the name itself, sure they make decent products but they are overpriced over a name that people either hate or love. It is a mixed bag, the product could be deemed good if it was a whole lot cheaper, but as of right now 119 or 129 for a keyboard that doesn't compare to the built quality and functionality of an Anne pro 2 or a Ducky one 2 mini... the choice is clear. I ordered the Huntsman Mini 3 days ago, expecting it to arrive the 9th, I bought it for around $75 which is the price I feel like it is worth, it comes close in quality with products around that price range...
