Razer - Huntsman Mini

So I switched from Windows11 to linux. I had a razer huntsman with optical switches and it was ok in windows. It was very loud and the dial was always flaky. Even using open razer I wouldn’t recommend any razer stuff in linux. You can change some of the RGB stuff but changing anything meaningful doesn’t work. I have a 65% keychron HE keyboard now and it works perfectly in linux. You can set the RGB stuff but you can set actuation points or change what keys do what. And it does that using a web app so nothing needs installing. Works with bluetooth, wired or using the included wifi dongle.

completely forgot about that lmao. well in that case I would recommend OP get another decently built keyboard for typing and daily use, and use the huntsman for gaming.

Razer huntsman is fine. It's overpriced for the features list, you are mostly paying for the brand name. But it's definitely not a bad keyboard by any stretch of the imagination. My main complaint is that for the same price you could probably get a better featured Keychron, Yunzii, or Monsgeek. Features you want to look for: Double Shot Keycaps - Lots of "gaming brands"[ including Razer](https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/p2qouf/huntsman_elite_keycaps_peeling/) laser etch their keycaps, which have a much lower life expectancy. QMK/Via compatibility - This will easily allow you to set up macros and layers without needing clunky proprietary software. Razer requires you to log in to a Razer account to use those features. Hot Swap Switches - I understand you may not want to build your keyboard from scratch, and that's 100% understandable. But when a key breaks if your keyboard is hot swap you can just replace that switch. No need to send it in for repair or take the whole thing apart to solder in a new switch. It's as simple as popping the switch off and plugging in a new one.

get a huntsman mini, it has snap tap and custom actuation point, Also don't get an aula f75 pls, it's a good typing keyboard but for that price u can get an hall effect keyboard

I would definitely go with the Huntsman Mini. I've been using one for over three years, and it's excellent for cramped desk spaces like ours. I also used to use a 100% membrane keyboard, and the Huntsman Mini is a huge leap in terms of size, feel, sound, and gaming performance.

A keyboard I reccomend is the huntsman v2 or v2 tkl. I have the tkl version of this keyboard with linear switches and the build quality and sound is pretty good. You might wanna lube the stabilizers tho. The huntsman mini is also pretty good. If you do decide on buying any of the huntsman keyboards, always get linears because the clicky switches are horrible and arent the same as like a traditional clicky switch like razer greens.

it's good for gaming (counterstrafing) however i don't think it's worth it overall. good quality but you can get better keyboards for way cheaper and at the end of the day the snap tap isn't life changing

Yes, huntsman keyboards have more wobbliness than other keyboards

I went from razer huntsman mini v3 to the aula he 60% and saw huge improvement. Some reviews compare the aula he to the wooting that you can check out
