Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition

Cooler Master MK730

The Cooler Master MK730 and the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition are both great TKL keyboards. The Cooler Master is available in a few different types of switches and provides better typing quality overall. It also has better ergonomics thanks to its detachable wrist rest. That said, the Razer feels extremely responsive due to its very short pre-travel and low latency, which is great for fast gaming. It also feels more solid and durable.
