Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Mini

ROCCAT Pyro

The Razer Huntsman Mini and the ROCCAT Pyro are wired gaming keyboards, but the Razer has a much lower latency. Otherwise, the Razer is a better choice if you like compact boards that give you more room on your desk to move your mouse, and it supports macro creation, while the ROCCAT doesn't. The Razer also has PBT keycaps, and it's available with Razer Clicky Optical or Razer Linear Optical switches. On the other hand, the ROCCAT is a better choice if you prefer a full-size board with a wrist rest and a volume control knob. The ROCCAT is available with linear TTC Red switches.
