Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Mini

Razer Huntsman V2

The Razer Huntsman V2 is a full-size gaming keyboard, while the Razer Huntsman Mini is a 60% compact gaming model. The V2 comes with a wrist rest, dedicated media keys, and a volume control knob. Also, it has an 8000Hz polling rate, and its latency is lower than the Mini. On the other hand, while the Mini lacks some of the features the V2 has, it gives you more space on your desk to move your mouse, which some gamers may prefer. Both boards are available with Razer Linear Optical and Clicky Optical switches.
