Our Verdict
Razer Huntsman V2 Analog
Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed
The Razer Huntsman V2 Analog and the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed are both outstanding mechanical gaming keyboards. If you prefer full-size wired boards, the V2 Analog is a better choice. It has a Numpad, dedicated media keys, a volume control knob, a USB passthrough, and a detachable wrist rest. It's available with Razer Analog Optical Switches, which are linear and let you adjust the pre-travel distance. They also have an analog mode, which lets you use the keys like an analog joystick. On the other hand, the HyperSpeed is better if you prefer a 65% compact wireless board that can pair with up to three devices at once via Bluetooth. It's available with linear Razer Yellow and clicky Razer Green switches.
