new design are faster switch performance and a longer life span of up to 100 million clicks when
compared to the mechanical switches.

with any Razer Huntsman Elite keyboard.
How can I set the preferred media player on my Razer Huntsman Elite?
The media keys work when a media player is running or in the background. The media player
keys will execute the assigned function of the corresponding media player that is active on your

the player that was last accessed.
