Our Verdict

Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed

Razer Huntsman V2

The Razer Huntsman V2 and the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed are mechanical gaming keyboards of different sizes. If you prefer a full-size wired board with a Numpad and a dedicated F-row, the Huntsman V2 is a better choice. Also, its larger size gives room for dedicated media keys and a volume control knob. It has an 8000Hz polling rate, and its latency is slightly lower. It's available with Razer Linear Optical and Clicky Optical switches. On the other hand, the BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is a better choice if you want a 65% wireless board that can pair with up to three devices at once via Bluetooth. It's available with linear Razer Yellow and clicky Razer Green switches.
