Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition

Razer Huntsman

The Razer Huntsman and the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition are very similar but use different switches. The Huntsman uses clicky optical switches, and the TE uses linear optical switches that are noticeably more sensitive. The TE is also a TKL board, which means it doesn't have a NumPad.
