Our Verdict
Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition
Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro
The Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro and the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition are very different keyboards. The V3 is a full-size wireless keyboard with dedicated media controls and Linear Optical switches. On the other hand, the Huntsman TE is a wired TKL keyboard available with clicky Razer Green or linear Yellow switches. Also, the Huntsman TE doesn't include a wrist rest like the V3 does.
