After years of not using a full-size keyboard, I can honestly say now that I miss it. I miss the extra space I had, and lost, in a cramped tiny keyboard. I miss the convenience of a number pad which I didn’t realize I used so often and then had to live without it for years. It was time, time to go full retro giant-sized keyboard and back to what I had missed and was accustomed to growing up in the 80s and 90s. Being a, shall we say, super-fan of Razer peripherals, which are integrated in all my PC and laptop gaming builds, I immediately went with what I know to be some of the best products in the business, the latest Huntsman V3 Pro full-size keyboard. Since I was previously using a smaller and previous version of the Razer Huntsman keyboard, I already knew what I was in for. Razer has always built a durable keyboard catering to hardcore gamers with the latest and fastest technology. It sports a brushed black aircraft-grade aluminum top plate and textured doubleshot PBT keycaps that resist shine and fading. It comes with a magnetic, firm leatherette wrist rest making it more ergonomically sound and comfortable for long gaming sessions. The latest version is just what you would expect, and any gamer could ask for, with it’s solid, yet light build, buttery smooth keys that are much quieter than other keyboards I have used and lots of room for customization. The standout feature is the second-generation Razer™ Analog Optical Switches, which offer an adjustable actuation range from a super-sensitive 0.1 mm to a deeper 4.0 mm. This allows for an exceptional level of control, enabling users to fine-tune the feel for different games or even a comfortable typing experience. My favorite feature, somewhat of a cheat code, is the rapid trigger mode that is a game changer for first person shooters. This allows keys to reset instantly with the slightest lift of a finger (as low as 0.1 mm), enabling faster, repeated inputs and more precise movement control. There is virtually no latency with the blazing fast 8000 Hz HyperPolling rate which can give a gamer the upper hand in high-stakes competitive gaming scenarios. In Snap Tap mode, the Huntsman allows you to prioritize the latest input between two directional keys without needing to release the first one, leading to near-instant directional changes. The media controls on the top right of the Huntsman are super convenient and allowed me to get rid of another peripheral I was using for volume control on their Razer Nommo speakers freeing up precious desk space. Using the same Razer Synapse software I was already accustomed to, I was able to tinker with the extensive customization features including per-key actuation, RGB lighting, and macros. A major plus is the ability to make quick, on-the-fly adjustments to actuation and Rapid Trigger settings directly on the keyboard using hotkeys and an onboard LED array indicator which is crazy to see in real time how measures your key pressure and reduces reliance on the software once configured. Overall, I have been extremely pleased with the new Razer Huntsman V3 Pro as it is absurdly fast, highly responsive and built specifically for esports professionals and serious gamers seeking every possible competitive edge. Its advanced analog features and ultra-low latency are top-notch and I would be hard pressed to think there’s a better keyboard on the market.

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro’s main feature is its second-gen analog optical switches. These use light to detect how far each key is pressed, letting you customize actuation from 4mm down to 0.1mm. It’s similar to how analog sticks work on a controller — the deeper you press, the more input is registered. That added nuance allows for more precise control and responsiveness than traditional mechanical switches. It’s what enables Razer’s Rapid Trigger (custom reset points) and Snap Tap (prioritized directional input) features, which together make movement feel faster and more fluid — especially in twitch-heavy FPS games. Despite the advanced internals, the board keeps a clean, understated look. No screens, no macro clutter — just a solid metal top plate, three media buttons, a dial, and a wrist rest that’s too firm and doesn’t stay put. It has a more mature, low-profile aesthetic that probably won’t draw attention on your desk — and I like that. But when the lights dim, Razer’s flair kicks in. The per-key RGB lighting is bright, well-diffused, and customizable, with a finish that subtly enhances the glow without being overbearing. It’s tasteful, and it looks great. As a regular keyboard — which is still how it gets used most of the time — it’s comfortable and easy to type on. I adjusted quickly and had no issues using it for everyday tasks. In games, it’s the most responsive board I’ve used. Inputs feel immediate, with claimed latency as low as 1.7ms. Counter-strafing and directional shifts all felt tighter and more controlled. It didn’t magically boost my K/D ratio, but it made everything feel sharper and tighter— and that alone made games more fun. Now, the value question. Being a Razer product, it’s going to be one of the most expensive analog keyboards on the market. If you’re not playing competitive shooters or chasing every edge, it’s a tough sell. There are cheaper boards that offer solid performance, better acoustics, or more versatility for less. For most gamers — including myself, the V3 Pro is probably more than they need. But if you’re chasing peak responsiveness or just want the best tech Razer offers and don’t mind the price, it certainly delivers. And if you do end up getting one, you’ll probably love it.

The Huntsman v3 Pro keyboard is one of the better performing mass produced keyboards on the market. It offers a strong spec sheet marrying gaming performance with customizability, presenting a strong product that's really only missing a full fledged display. Having owned well over a dozen keyboards in the past 10 years, I can confidently say that this one is one of the better performing boards on the market. The obvious banner feature here is the ability to throttle up to an 8khz polling rate. Anyone that competitively games will understand how this feature is useful. Beyond this, however, the keyboard offers analog optical switches that have a bunch of very significant benefits (that could merit their own review). Firstly, the keys have adjustable actuation point configuration, meaning you can not only set actuation point per key (for example, if you want your WASD keys to be more input sensitive than the other keys), but also set up actuation profiles. This is a hugely beneficial feature for anyone that not only games, but also conducts business with the keyboard; you can set a hyper fast actuation for gaming while setting a less touchy actuation configuration for typing. Next, the keys have "Rapid Trigger Mode", which effectively means that you can trigger the key input without having to full release the key. This was a feature I didn't realize I wanted, but as soon as I started using it in FPS games, it was immediately obvious what a beneficial feature this is. Finally, the keyboard also features "Razer Snap Tap" which allows you to actuate a second key without releasing the current key. Both of these two features provide an insanely responsive experience while gaming that I've not had previously. Coming from a Steel Series Apex Pro, this surprisingly felt like an upgrade which I was unsure of before using the Razer. You can customize more than just the keystrokes; being 2025, there's an obvious inclusion of LED lighting on this board. From what I've seen, the options for customization are quite extensive, allowing micro adjustments to fit your needs along with different themes/functions. I personally don't fully utilize LED lighting since I find busy lighting distracting, but thankfully I can set a theme to my liking as well. Overall, the LED implementation with this board is solid. There are couple of things I'd like to see improvement on. The omission of a true display on the board (in line with my previously Steel Series Apex board) would be very valuable while trying to change settings on this board. While the app can be used, it's nice to be able to change things on the fly without digging through the app. A series of keybinds helps this a bit, allowing for setting changes, but the process is complicated enough that they included a spec sheet showing the keybinds. Additionally, the media buttons on the top leave something to be desired. The volume scroll is not very ergonomic (especially compared again to the Steel Series Apex Pro), and the 3 additional buttons (which could've doubled as scroll wheels as well) are unintuitive as to what they're controlling. Again, I realize the app helps with this, but some more thought should be put into this small section of the keyboard for the next iteration. It'd also be nice to see an included accessory USB port given that this is a USB-C board that could easily integrate one, but the market trend seems to be going away from this so it's not unexpected. The last thing I'll mention is that while the keyboard including a wrist rest is a huge positive, I wish it was more padded. That's a subjective gripe on my part but I prefer padded wrist rests for long gaming and typing sessions. Overall, this is a great keyboard. It has a few things that I personally find to be shortcomings that may not be an issue for others. But it's completely undeniable that Razer has absolutely nailed the. performance aspect of this board. Even the most demanding of gamers will be satisfied with how responsive and customizable the Huntsman V3 Pro is.
