Huntsman vs Huntsman elite vs Huntsman TE
This keyboard comes in three different variants. Razer Huntsman is the simplest one but it still has everything that you need to destroy your opponents. It just lacks wrist rest and audio control buttons which are the only things that Huntsman elite model has over the regular one.
TE stands for tournament edition, Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition is small because it doesn’t have a Numpad on the right and has detachable USB-c type cable. Therefore it’s lighter and easier to take with you on the go.
