I’m trying to figure out if these 2; what one to get - the analog version or the newer linear optical red switch version? Thoughts?

Hey guys! I got a huntsman with (red) linear optical switches. I really love the keyboard but the switches are very light and it's so easy to actuate them that I constantly do typos.

I am thinking of returning it and getting the one with purple clicky switches as they take bit more force to actuate and have a longer actuation distance, but I've read a lot of reviews of people saying that they're extremely loud.

Is that true? Are they really that loud and if so how do you put up with it?

Please respond to me if you have a keyboard with purple switches as it would be of great help making this decision :)

I have fallen my eye on one of the Razer huntsman V2 keyboards. And I lean towards the analog version. Due to the extra features it has

However I was wondering if anyone has any real typing experience to share on these. I type quite much, and at their core they are more focused on gaming then typing.

But all I can find are reviews that do not actually talk about the day-to-day typing experience. So I’m not sure and looking for more information.

Can anyone share their experience?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been looking to downsize my keyboard from the Huntsman Elite to a Huntsman Mini. I used prefer the clicky optical (purple) switches, but I am in love with my friend’s optical analog switches on his huntsman and I am ready to make the change! I noticed the Huntsman V3 Pro Mini comes standard with the Gen-2 switches and original Huntsman Mini has an “analog version” with the Gen-1 switches. Currently, the V3 Pro Mini is listed for $179.99 and the original Mini Analog is listed for $79.99 (on discount from $149.99).

My major questions before purchasing are…

1. What are the differences between the Optical Analog Gen-1 Switches and the Optical Analog Gen-2 Switches?

2. Is the difference large enough to justify the current $100 difference between the Huntsman V3 Pro Mini and the Huntsman Mini Analog?

3. Are there any other notable differences between the two keyboards beyond the Gen-1 to Gen-2 switch upgrade?

I’ve looked around the internet and couldn’t find much help on this topic. Thank you for reading and replying! Have a good day :)

I did a bit of research on this and I can‘t find an answer anywhere. Are the optical analogue switches of the Huntsman V2 clicky or silent?

I am quite new into mechanical keyboards. How to choose between them? Please advice, thank you.

Also, low profile vs normal mechanical keyboard, which to choose?

Hey, I was planning on building my first PC, and the Huntsman TE being my first keyboard. I don’t know too much about keyboards, and the listed Linear, Analog, and Clicky. Does anyone have recommendations for which ones I should get?
