Razer has some really cool peripherals and if you are invested in their gear then this version of the Huntsman might be a good choice for you if you your current keyboard is a few years old. There are some minor upgrades to the previous version but the size, shape, and layout are unchanged. I can't live without a multi-function media wheel these days. Steaming, gaming, watching movies and video content volumes aren't consistent so having a volume wheel on the keyboard is a must. The customizable RGB backlighting is a plus and can be controlled by the Synapse software however I use SignalRGB to control all of the RGB on/in my system. I think the biggest change that I can tell is you can customize the optical switch profiles on the fly without Synapse software. The learning curve might be a bit much at first but having the ability to adjust switch sensitivity without software is super cool. Using the LEDs as scale and the volume wheel to adjust it's easy to adjust and visualize the adjustment. Using Synapse software gains you some additional settings but with the move to some of the boutique keyboard makers using web-based tools with no need of a constant running utility that eats up system resources. I do like a thonky keyboard for the audio/tactile feedback and the Huntsman doesn't disappoint me there, not too loud but loud enough for my taste. The one thing I would watch for is Snap Tap using SOCD (where 2 opposing keys are pressed at the same time allowing for more precision in movement) but you may be banned in some esports games, so make sure before you buy to make sure you won't have banning issues. The price point is almost tolerable but $220 to $250 might be tough to swallow for some. Such is the price for modern day PC gaming. I'm bit miffed with the included wrist rest being a hard plastic rather than past padded rests in units in the past.

The Razer Huntsman V3 keyboard is a nice keyboard with some interesting gaming features, but unfortunately my typing accuracy and performance took a massive hit when trying to use it. So, first, the gaming features. The biggest thing about this keyboard that immediately caught my attention is that it features analogue keys, meaning that they are not just binary, pressed/not pressed. They register the full press of the key from 0-100%, similar to analog triggers on a game controller. This is even visualized on the keyboard itself with a little meter that lights up according to how much the current key is being pressed. This feature was very interesting at first, but overall, I'm not sure I see the use. It works well for what it is. I was able to accurately control my walking speed in FPS games and gas/brake in racing games. And while novel at first, I really just can't see myself using this feature seriously going forward. I'll also mention that you can customize the keyboard with the Razer software. It offers many points of customization, especially surrounding the pressure sensitivity of the keys. The build of the keyboard feels very nice. It's about what I have come to expect from Razer products. However, it is lighter than I was expecting, and an unexpected side effect of that I believe, is that it does not do a very good job of absorbing the shock from typing. What I mean by this, is that I notice my monitor moving slightly every time I am typing. I never noticed this with my previous keyboards, which have all had a good amount of weight to them. Lastly, and my biggest issue with this keyboard, is that I just cannot type very well on it. I can't quite pinpoint what it is, but my gut feeling is that the spacing of the keys is just different enough from any of my other keyboards that I make a ton of mistakes, and my typing speed in turn takes a huge hit. This is just unacceptable for me. I usually type about 60-70 words per minute, which isn't fast, but it's not exactly slow either. With this keyboard, I can only type around 40 words per minute, and will have several mistakes. At first I thought I just had to get used to it, but I have been using it for a few weeks now, and I am still having the same issues. So ultimately, I will not continue using this keyboard. While the gaming features are novel, and they work well, the basic function of a keyboard is what this one fails at. And those gaming features just aren't worth it to me.

I am a long time Razer fan. But not really a huge fan, I do own some of their wonderful products, and so I have, in time, come to respect Razer and their keyboards. I have never really liked one until now. The Razer Huntsman is elegant in its simplicity. Unboxing, it's evident the product itself is premium, with a really sturdy feel of aluminum, or metal, and not plastic. Knobs, dials and keys that aren't mush, never mush, not no this keyboard, it's clacky-clack and yeah it's moderately loud but not anything many will take issue with. Firing this up by plugging into my Windows 11 PC was simple, plug it in and it works. Yes, the volume, the media buttons work just fine as well, no Synapse Required (my apologies Phil) but guess what, this keyboard is too beautiful not to be lit up and utilized for all of us color lovers out there, and so SignalRGB detects it, works just fine. And yes, I did install Razer Synapse, and no issues there, it seems to run a lot better now with games, unlike many moons ago when it would sometimes cause conflicts. This keyboard is immaculate. It looks the part, all imperial, elegant, dark, exotic, and just the overall feel, it's amazing, kudo seriously to Razer for joining the big leagues, watch out Corsair! Highly recommend this, especially it's very compact, yet full featured feel, you will love it, for the elegant looks, the lights, the use, or all of the above. Well done Razer.

I have been using the Razer Huntsman Pro TKL (V3) Keyboard for a week and have learnt a lot about how a quality gaming keyboard can make a real difference in gaming, especially FPS. But first, in the box you get: - Razer Huntsman Pro TKL (V3) 8Khz - USB A to USB C Braided Cable (Huntsman charges via USB C) - Wrist/Palm Rest (Light Magnetic Connection) FWIW I have a narrow desk, so don't use palm rests. Out of the box the Hunstman Pro has good weight. They keys are analog-optical aka quiet click. The height adjustment has two levels, so you can get the perfect angle. Setup requires the Razer Synapse software (free download, registration optional) and it's an absolute requirement (and not just for RGB). That said, it's a full RGB keyboard and every key is customizable (and the RGB backlights are briliant). The reason why the Huntsman Pro blew my mind is you can tune the key actuation, basically how much you need to press a key to respond. I've never seen this (maybe my life is sheltered?) but in FPS games like Battlefield I was like whoa whoa whoa, I have never been able to get shots away this fast. You can tune from 0.1mm to 4mm actuation and I seriously encourage you to spend some time tuning it to your keyboard style. The first few games I was blowing through ammo too fast and needed to finely tune actuation in Synapse. You can fine tune mid play using keyboard combos (FN+CAPS and the VOLUME control), but really it's best to go through a training mode in a game to get your actuation right. There's little actuation meter above the arrow keys. Settings can be saved in memory and you there are multiple profiles, so you can switch should you need to tune for different games. FYI I did find that I need different actuation for just typing vs gaming. Overall, the Huntsman Pro V3 is an incredible gaming keyboard. If you're serious about gaming, especially FPS, this is game changing (no pun intended) :-).
