My W key doesn't work, so I'm hunting down my favorite Prime Day gaming keyboard deals so my friends don't disown me
Razer Huntsman V2 TKL Tenkeyless Gaming Keyboard |$159.99$108.65 at Amazon (save $51)
This gaming keyboard may be a few years old at this point, but it's still a great choice for those looking for less noisy clicks, fast HyperPolling, or just a really comfy wrist cushion. Plus, it's currently back at its lowest price ever. The Razer Huntsman V2 is one of the most practical mechanical keyboards out there (see our review). But I have to admit it's the fantastic shade of quartz pink that seals the deal for me.

They can't be too noisy, and I prefer switches that are lightweight and fast, so I at least have a fighting chance of keeping up with the typically rapid and chaotic fights in Overwatch 2 or Fortnite.
