Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman

Keychron K14

The Razer Huntsman is an outstanding full-sized, wired gaming keyboard, while the Keytchron K14 is a good compact 70% wireless office keyboard. The Razer comes with clicky Razer Optical switches and has hugely lower latency. It also has customization software, which the Keychron lacks. On the other hand, The Keychron feels somewhat sturdier and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. It's available in a range of Gateron G Pro and Keychron Mechanical switches, and it has a hot-swappable version available.
