Stylish keyboard

The V3 pro is a premium keyboard with a superb finish and very nice keys. I have compared this to the Corsair K70 Pro, Das Keyboards (Prime 6, Prime 13 and the 5QS), Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro and Roccat Pyro.In my opinion this keyboard has the best quality finish, followed closely by the Corsair. The lighting is excellent and plenty bright for me, but this is not one of the brightest keyboards and there are reasons for this.The lights are enclosed in a black plastic under the keys which minimises light bleed. In fact, there is hardly any - just a shadow really. From right above the keyboard you can see some bleed but not for day to day use. Some manufacturers use a bigger key font. This is different from the majority of RGB keyboards out there, where the lights are enclosed in a translucent plastic to maximise the brightness, or have bigger gaps between the keys. For me, this keyboard has the best lighting as the lights just add to the premium finish.The Das keyboards also have minimal light bleed as the keys are enclosed in the case. If you only want a white backlit keyboard, then consider the prime 6 or 13. My partner has the 13 and she prefers it to the V3 Pro.For me, I dislike the light bleed and find it annoying, especially when I set the keyboard to white and end up with a horrible blur of whitish/blue/red/green dependant upon the manufacturer. The white on the V3 Pro is very good, but from above there is a hint of red.Other positives - being able to set the keypress distance is nice. For me that's a set and forget and I've just left it on default. The other features are not really worth it for me. High quality volume wheel. Haven't noticed any ping from the keys when typing, unlike some others I've tested.The negatives - A little coil whine when cycling colours. I have noticed this with other manufacture keyboards as well, but maybe not as much with them.Either the laser etching on a few of the keys isn't perfect, or the light just doesn't quite reach the corners. This is really minor, however.Software. Had problems getting the software to work and ended up reinstalling several times. Kept on losing the colour profiles I'd set up. It will not save your colour profile to the keyboard, so you will need the software running unless you are happy with the colours cycling.All in all, a great keyboard and worth the money.

Good if you go between typing & gaming and like tactile feedback.

If you're someone who divides their time between typing and gaming, and prefers tactile feedback compared to linear/mushy switches, I've tried plenty of keyboards and the Huntsman V2 with Purple switches is the one I've stuck with. The wrist rest is a plush leatherette, super comfortable and it sits in a good place so it's actually supportive. The switches themselves aren't too loud which is a bonus as it won't get annoying to hear the "click click click" over time. No gimmicks with this keyboard either - you can turn off the lighting if it's something you're not bothered about and everything serves a useful function. To be honest, I didn't think the Purple optical switches could mimic the feeling of a "true" mechanical tactile Cherry MX or Razer switch, but I stand corrected. If you like clicky/tactile mechanical switches but also like the idea of keys that are far more responsive, Purple switches are the way to go.

Honest Review! It's great, but...

First off, what we all came for... the clicky keys, yes, they are very clicky, but moving on to the actual details about how the keyboard will feel in a few months or perhaps years...The cable - The stock cable is VERY sturdy, can't fault it one bit, once it clicks in, you wouldn't even realize it could be detached. This will likely not require a replacement cable anytime soon.The keys - the keys also can not be faulted in my opinion (or can they). Razer weren't lying about how they can really increase your timing when it comes to pressing the keys. From my personal experience, the response time is very good and I have even clicked the spacebar by accident by just simply moving my hand across the keyboard, it's very easy to click these keys by accident I guess is what I'm trying to say...Size - If you don't have alot of room on your desk then this is definitely the right keyboard for you, it's compact, sturdy and great for all the family! (Jokes aside, it's very small and brilliant for saving space)The lighting - okay, this isn't too important but definitely worth noting, from my personal experience, Logitech lighting is better when it comes to keyboards, and this keyboard is no exception. Is the Razer huntsman mini's lighting bad? No, not at all, it's actually good, but past Logitech keyboard users could likely spot the difference when it comes to brightness and colour transition smoothness, but will this affect your gaming? Unless you live in a dark cave, I'd say no.Software - Synapse is the lighting software and is pretty easy to manipulate, good pre set colour cycles for you to pick from and play around with, but for a large and innovative company like razer, I'd like to have seen them allow each individual key to be coloured differently for alot more colour options, but more importantly... uniqueness!Cortex is another software provided by razer and I love it, it optimizes your games and closes background processes to boost your frames and overall performance. This software also allows you to select if you wish to play for competitive performance or visual quality and will then suggest the settings you should have set, all while conveniently telling you what frame rate you could expect to see after the changes. I use it everytime I launch a game.My one problem - to many this will not be a problem, but to many other people that want a solid, none wiggly/ rattly space bar... (You know what I mean 🥲)... Unfortunately this spacebar does wiggle, shake and rattle like all others. Once again, for a company like razor, I want to see a space bar that doesn't wiggle and is just STILL and SOLID for a PREMIUM feel as that is what we want.Overall I'm rating this keyboard 5/5 as functionality is Key (pun intended), but I definitely would like to see the changes I noted such as lighting and complete key solidity implimented.I hope this was enough to give you your final decision to buy or look elsewhere (maybe Logitech perhaps if you want brighter and more fluid lights).Thankyou Ladies and Gents.
