It finally happened. After years of standing by optical switch technology, Razer has finally jumped on the bandwagon and made its own Hall Effect keyboard.
终于，这一天还是来了。在多年坚持光学轴体技术后，Razer 终于顺应潮流，推出了自家的霍尔效应（Hall Effect）磁轴键盘。
Razer still stands by its optical switches, at least according to its PR representatives. In the eyes of Razer’s engineers, optical switch technology is still superior to magnetic switches. According to Razer, an optical switch still has greater accuracy and is less likely to face interference from outside forces (such as electromagnetic fields or a metal desk). But, apparently, the demand for magnets has become so strong that Razer simply can’t ignore customer demand anymore. As a result, Razer’s first Hall Effect keyboard, the Hunstman V3 HE, came into existence.
至少根据其公关代表的说法，Razer 依然支持其光学轴体。在 Razer 工程师眼中，光学轴体技术在性能上仍优于磁轴。Razer 表示，光学轴体具有更高的精度，且不易受到外界因素（如电磁场或金属桌面）的干扰。但显然，市场对磁轴的需求已变得如此强烈，以至于 Razer 无法再忽视消费者的呼声。于是，Razer 的首款霍尔效应键盘——Huntsman V3 HE 应运而生。
Being its first attempt, Razer didn’t try to do anything crazy. No screens, dials, or split spacebars. Instead, it offers a simple and basic Hall Effect keyboard that does exactly what it says on the box. And, as much as I like the new and bizarre, sometimes that’s all a keyboard needs to be.
作为首次尝试，Razer 并没有进行任何激进的设计。没有屏幕、旋钮或分裂式空格键。相反，它提供了一款简单基础的磁轴键盘，完全实现了包装盒上所承诺的功能。尽管我个人很喜欢新奇古怪的设计，但有时键盘只需要做好本职工作就足够了。
Smooth to a Fault 顺滑到极致的代价
The most important part of a keyboard will always be how the keys actually feel during use. In this regard, the Hunstman V3 HE is merely fine. The switches are smooth when pressed, and the smoothness is consistent across most of the keys. Though some switches feel slightly overlubed, to the extent that the bottom-out of the keystroke feels mildly tacky. Because this keyboard uses a tray-mount system, there are also slight differences in the stiffness across the keys: switches closer to mounting screws will feel less flex when typing, and vice versa. The typing experience has multiple slight differences across keys that make it feel inconsistent, but these aren’t major enough to be irritating—or even particularly noticeable—during regular use.
键盘最重要的部分永远是实际使用时的手感。在这方面，Huntsman V3 HE 表现尚可。轴体按压顺滑，且大部分按键的顺滑度保持一致。不过，部分轴体感觉润滑脂涂抹过多，导致触底时有一种轻微的粘滞感。由于该键盘采用了托盘安装（tray-mount）结构，按键的硬度也存在细微差异：靠近安装螺丝的轴体在打字时感觉更稳固，反之则稍软。这种打字体验在不同按键间存在细微差别，导致手感不够统一，但在日常使用中，这些差异并不足以令人烦恼，甚至很难察觉。
Each switch has a 40-gram spring, which feels comparable in weight to a Cherry MX Red when typing. They’re reasonably light and have limited wobble, but are slightly slow to return after being pressed. It’s not a major issue, they still return relatively quickly, but a more snappy spring would have been preferable.
每个轴体都配备了 40 克的弹簧，打字时的重量感与 Cherry MX 红轴相当。它们相当轻盈且晃动感有限，但在按压后的回弹速度略慢。这不是什么大问题，它们的回弹速度依然较快，但如果弹簧能更干脆利落一些会更好。
The typing sound can best be described as relatively “clacky,” with a clean, full tone and a significant midrange. The sound is clean overall, without any extraneous scratchiness, pinging, or other odd frequencies. There are noticeable differences in tone across the keys, especially on some of the outer ones, which end up taking on a noticeably deeper and duller sound. Compared with the rattly and atonal optical Huntsman V3, these improvements are night and day. But compared with the gasket-mounted Razer BlackWidow V4, there’s definitely still room to improve.
打字声音可以描述为相对“清脆”，音色干净饱满，中频突出。整体声音纯净，没有多余的摩擦声、金属弹片音或其他杂音。不同按键之间的音调存在明显差异，特别是在一些边缘按键上，声音会变得明显更深沉、更闷。与声音松散且音调不准的光轴版 Huntsman V3 相比，这些改进是天壤之别。但与采用 Gasket 结构的 Razer BlackWidow V4 相比，确实仍有提升空间。
Typical Plastic Shell 典型的塑料外壳
Like most of Razer’s keyboards, the latest Huntsman has a very straightforward build: an integrated metal top plate and a plastic bottom shell in a tray-mount assembly with sound-dampening foam. The screws holding the two halves together are counter-sunk into the top housing, which has Razer’s typical black brushed finish. Thankfully, there are no fragile plastic clips holding the two halves together. The shell, even with the metal top, has a slight amount of flex in-hand.
与大多数 Razer 键盘一样，这款最新的 Huntsman 采用了非常直接的结构：一体式金属上盖和塑料底壳，通过托盘安装结构组装，并配有消音棉。固定上下壳的螺丝沉入上盖中，上盖采用了 Razer 标志性的黑色拉丝工艺。值得庆幸的是，外壳没有使用脆弱的塑料卡扣。即使有金属上盖，外壳在手中仍有轻微的形变感。
Inside the case, there are two printed circuit boards: A main board that screws into the metal plate, and a daughterboard that screws into the bottom shell. These two boards are connected by a three-pin JST-style connector and a thick ribbon cable. There is a piece of sound-deadening foam between the plate and PCB, filling the empty space between the switches, and another inside the bottom shell. While the use of a secondary daughterboard is nice, the bottom plastic shell feels fairly thin. This seemingly contributes to the underwhelming sound profile of this keyboard, and it ultimately results in a less robust and sturdy design compared with an all-metal (or even thicker plastic) construction.
机身内部有两块电路板：一块固定在金属板上的主板，以及一块固定在底壳上的子板。这两块板通过一个三针 JST 接口和一条粗排线连接。定位板和 PCB 之间有一层消音棉，填补了轴体间的空隙，底壳内部也有一层。虽然使用了子板设计很不错，但塑料底壳感觉相当薄。这似乎导致了键盘声音表现平平，与全金属（甚至更厚的塑料）结构相比，整体设计显得不够扎实稳固。
