Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition

ASUS ROG Strix Scope TKL

The ASUS ROG Strix Scope TKL and the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition are very similar wired TKL keyboards. The main difference is that the Razer has much lower latency, making it better for gaming. The SteelSeries is available in various Cherry MX switch options, but the Razer only comes with Razer's Linear Optical switches. The ASUS provides a much better typing experience mainly because the Razer's switches are extremely sensitive, which might lead to more typos.
