Razer Huntsman Mini Gaming Toetsenbord
An ultra-compact 60% keyboard with lightning-fast optical switches - less desk, more room for your mouse.
The Huntsman Mini drops everything you rarely use while gaming: no number pad, no function row, no separate arrow keys. What remains is a minimal 60% board with Razer's optical switches that work with light instead of metal contact - very fast and consistent. The PBT keycaps resist going shiny and the USB-C cable is detachable. For a gamer short on desk space, a focused gift around 85 euro.

Watch-outs

- Optical switches aren't hot-swappable like on some hobby boards
Why optical switches
Instead of a metal contact, an optical switch registers the keystroke with a beam of light. That makes the response very fast and consistent, with no debounce delay. The clicky purple variant also gives an audible and tactile click, nice for anyone who likes feedback when typing and gaming.
The 60% choice
By dropping everything you rarely use, the board stays small and keeps your mouse closer to your keyboard - good for low mouse sensitivity and big swings. The trade-off: arrow keys, F-keys and the number pad sit on a second layer under the Fn key. After a few days that's in your fingers.
Frequently asked questions
Won't I miss the arrow keys?
They're there, via the Fn layer (Fn + the I/J/K/L zone or similar). After a short adjustment it works smoothly; for anyone typing a lot of text outside gaming it's a trade-off.
What does 60% mean?
A compact layout without number pad, function row and separate arrows. It saves a lot of desk space and is popular with gamers.
