This is a "clicky" keyboard, so don't know if your Huntsman that you have is "clicky" "tactile" or what. But if this is an office environment where others may be opposed to "hearing" your typing (pretty loudly), this one may not be the best option for you. I have this one, a Huntsman and a Blackwidow, all clicky because I personally love the sound and feel. But I also work from home and the only person who has to be bothered by the sound is me.

If the noise isn't an issue, then I will say it's a bit of a challenge getting use to the travel (or lack there of) of the Ornata compared to that of the Huntsman/Blackwidow. The latter two are my daily drivers, so when I do happen to go back to the Ornata from time to time (not every day), the quality/accuracy of my typing does take a bit of a hit. I also notice that my fingers kinda hurt when I use it for prolonged periods of time because I think I try to click down "harder" with the Ornata (because my fingers are just used to pushing down more given the longer travel on the Huntsman/Blackwidow) due to the less travel.

Ultimately, I do really like the Ornata, but given that you already have a Huntsman, you may find yourself in the same situation as I find myself in if you're consistently going to be swapping between the two. I hope that feedback helps.

I'm on Mac too and I was looking for various Mech keyboards recently that were compatible for Mac.

I ended up getting a Keychron K2 V2 on Amazon and it was Mac compatible out of the box, with the proper command and option keys installed. It comes with extra key caps for Windows too, so somebody can swap them out whenever they want. There's also a switch on the side of the keyboard to switch between Mac and Windows. Mac is the default out of the box.​

You can choose the key switches you want. They have Red, Blue and Brown.

It all comes down to individual personal preference. I ended up getting the brown for myself and I'm happy with that choice. It's the best keyboard I've ever had. It's a joy to type on.

The model I bought was about $100, but they have other models for cheaper and others more expensive. It all depends on the options that somebody chooses (steel frame, wireless, hot swappable, RGB, size of keyboard and number of keys etc.).

I have a brown-switch keyboard and was considering getting a blue-switch one since I like the clicky sound when typing. This guy sounds pretty close and so far I like the typing feeling. These are all subjective and I'm sure it doesn't hold a candle to Huntsman or other high-end keyboards

If the clicking is a big issue, you can remove the keys and then remove the small metal insert that creates the clicking noise with some tweezers and it will decrease the clicking a bit. I got it done in about 10 minutes and am happy that I don't have to hear the loud clicks anymore. Note that it'll still make some noise, but it wont be nearly as bad and removing the pins could result in the keyboard not being able to be returned.

Just got mine yesterday. Love the build and feel of the keys. Just too big for me. For $35 I just got the Reddragon k617. Not as heavy but feels and sounds great to type on. I would keep this Razer keyboard if I was so into 60-65 keyboards.

this works well for the given majority of people who do a mix of typing and gaming but once you spend at least a few hours of gaming a day then this and apex 3 isn't enough

you want to have either something lesser noise or less actuation

these get the job done as well as ones over a hundred

Thanks, picking one up.

I snapped my EVGA keyboard over my leg last week when it randomly disconnected in the final circles of a Warzone match.

It had been doing it for awhile, but had never done so while I was actually using it (always when computer was idle).
People who snap keyboards over their knee shouldn't buy fancy keyboards.

Ordered one and it arrived today. I like it for $30. Not going to replace my Corsair K70, but I'll use it at work, on my backup system or something.

Not bad.

I'm not mad at it for 30 bucks (comfy magnetic wrist rest; extra points for not having to use Synapse; neither do you unless you have a RGB fetish)

Only gripe or concern is that day two the 7 key on numpad sticks really hard. I tried cleaning it but it barely helped. Otherwise don't mind the feel but with these key-caps it can get dirty quickly.

I just think that the BestBuy crew takes all the keyboards in box and plays a rousing game of ol' timey stick ball with the gaming mice in the store room. (Glorious M1 left click died day 2 and I bought that one in store not shipped like the Ornata)

Space bar wiggles a little but everything else clicks (not too loud) and is responsive the keyboard feels well built.
Also, there is a cord route from left to right as well as a standard spot at the top of the board (I picked this one not wanting to cause a short in the cord from bending it that way)

The gaming mode is standard at this point but nice. Ironically, I dig the RGB (but I don't have to deal with it at all if I just turn down the brightness function key to zero) but actually appreciate the media keys at the top (mute, up, down, previous, pause/play, forward), the macro key, & gaming mode key.

I spilled coffee all over my last backlit mechanical keyboard and was in the market for another when this popped up... I wasn't a huge fan at first relative to normal mechanical switches but after using it for a few days it is a really nice keyboard for $30. I don't think you can do better for this price.

Well fancy keyboards shouldn't randomly disconnect.

Hasn't happened since so it was DEFINITELY the keyboard.

So apparently this V3 doesn't have N-key Rollover so it's actually busted for gaming. You can't do QWE or QWA or something like that, very common basic combos.

Previous Ornatas didn't have this issue.

Picked up mine at Best Buy yesterday.
Couple of keys don't click. The small metal strips in the keys are missing.
The box and the keyboard don't look refurbished or been opened before.
I am disappointed with the lack of Razer's QC.
