You know Black Friday has truly arrived when the big guns of the gaming industry roll out their best gear at the best prices of the year. If you’re ready to step up to an elite gaming keyboard, Razer’s big sale event has arrived just in time — you can save up to 40% on Razer’s Huntsman Mini line of 60% keyboards while this amazing holiday deal lasts.

The Huntsman Mini gaming keyboards were Razer’s first entry into the world of 60% keyboards, and to nobody’s surprise, they pretty much nailed it. The Huntsman Mini line comes in crisp, snappy Clicky, or stealthy, smooth Linear optical switches, and in numerous colors. They all have a couple of things in common — they’re among the top-performing gaming keyboards anywhere, and they’re all marked way down during Razer’s Black Friday event.
Smaller Is Better
A 60% keyboard is exactly what you would assume it is — it’s only 60% the size of a regular keyboard. The reduced space comes at the sacrifice of the numpad and navigational keys. This might sound like things you would miss, but many gamers swear by the 60% keyboard because of the extra surface room it allows for their mouse, or just because they like the compact model and the extra desk space it affords.
Smaller in size certainly does not mean smaller in features or performance when it comes to the Razer Huntsman Mini gaming keyboards. The premium doubleshot PBT keys look great and feel even better, with the detail Razer is famous for, right down to the thin yet legible font size, which looks great when the per-key RGB lights glow through them.
Clicky or Quiet: No Bad Choice
The Razer Huntsman Mini’s clicky and linear optical versions are all about preference — they’re equally impressive when it comes to actual gaming performance. Some gamers swear the 2nd-gen lineal optical switches make rapid-fire keystrokes easier, but one thing that’s indisputable is that they are exceptionally quiet — something that will be much appreciated if you have roommates.
The clicky optical switches come with that satisfying sound, but they feel lighter than the more-common mechanical clicky keys, and thus are the ideal controls to have beneath your fingers when you’re gaming.
Both versions are easily customizable — macro recording reduces long key sequences to single keystrokes, and you can create those macros on the fly. If you’re an esports gamer, you’re well acquainted with the value of easy-to-create macros. The keys are clearly marked with the built-in secondary functions, including the controls for the RGB lights and their effects.
Play Great, Look Awesome
The abundance of color schemes of the Razer Huntsman Mini keyboards means there is definitely something for everyone — they all play equally well and the aesthetics are top-notch regardless of which color you prefer. The Huntsman Mini comes in black or Mercury (Razer’s version of white), and both options are available with Clicky Purple or Linear Red switches. Your gaming experience will be incredible in any of the available combinations.
Best of all, of course, is the staggering price drop on these elite-level gaming keyboards during Razer’s holiday sale. The Huntsman Mini Linear is a $130 keyboard (and worth every penny) that’s marked down to just $70. The Mini Clicky versions normally retail for $120, but during this event they’re also just $70. You can’t go wrong with either version, and you’ll quickly discover the benefits of switching out your full-sized keyboard or lesser version of a smaller model for a Razer Huntsman Mini 60% keyboard.
