Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Esports Gaming Keyboard Analog Optical Switches - Razer Snap Tap - Rapid Trigger

First off, this Razor Huntsman V3 Pro is a great keyboard, period! In 2015 I purchased a Logitech G910 Orion Spark. After a little over a year (as the warranty had expired), I had the left CTRL key cap break. I contacted Logitech, and to my surprise, they sent a complete key cap set for the keyboard. I was sold on Logitech after that. Time moved forward, and eventually, the keyboard started missing key strokes, where double and triple strokes on a letter became a sign that replacement was in order. Along with the Logitech keyboard, I purchased a Logitech mouse G502, which served well for over 10 years. The presets on the mouse started to bounce off my DPI settings, so I started researching keyboards and mice. I ordered a Logitech mouse G502 Hero since it received consistently good reviews. Unfortunately, the mouse wheel had a heavy spot, which would allow web pages to scroll without any input, so it was returned. I also purchased a Corsair K70 keyboard since the reviews were good. I liked the Cherry MX switches, yet the key caps do not cover the bottom of the switches. From the top looking down (which most pictures show) the RGB lighting looks good; however, from the front, it looks like little colored teeth shining from the bottom of the key caps, it just looks cheap. The slope of the key caps from front to back was not constant. The wrist pad I read about was soft to the touch; somehow, Corsair found a way to make small triangles out of plastic feel soft and yet be as hard as a rock. So, I sent it back as well. Remember Razor? This is a review about Razor. This keyboard, Razor Huntsman V3 Pro, is great to type with and to game with as well. With the Synapse 4 program suite, it not only gives this keyboard life it also connects my new Razor Balilisk V3 35K mouse and Razor Hypersense headphones without a hitch. I've been a PC gamer since the 80's with my first PC, a 386 with 1 meg of sipp ram, 40 MB hard drive, and a 256K monitor. To date, this mouse and keyboard combo is the best I have purchased. I remember throwing quarters at Brick Breaker and Asteroids on a black and white screen. At 67, I game daily, you're never too old to game, and I'm always out of gum. :-) Read more

I decided to pick this board up because I mainly play shooters and I was getting tired of my full-sized setup taking up so much mouse pad real estate. I wanted something that would give me more room to move without sacrificing the arrow keys, so this TKL layout seemed like the right middle ground. The switches are honestly the standout feature here. The analog optical triggers feel incredibly snappy, which is exactly what you need for competitive gaming. You can really feel the difference with the rapid trigger feature; it makes strafing and movement feel much more precise compared to a standard mechanical switch. The build itself is excellent, too. The doubleshot PBT keycaps have a nice texture that doesn't get slippery, and having the dedicated media dial and buttons right there is a convenient touch I use more than I expected. It is a very compact unit, which fits perfectly on my desk and clears up a ton of space. It feels premium and heavy enough to stay put during intense matches. If you are looking for a serious piece of gear to tighten up your movement in games, this is a fantastic option. Read more

This keyboard is ok, Its not heavy but light, its very compact, typing noise is like standard, you can control the colors with the Razer Synapse. You can also manage the Dual-Purpose modifier keys, quick remapping, snap tap and other features, If your familiar around keyboards then you'll adjust to this one quickly. Read more

It's a great keyboard and I like the Huntsman line. This is my first Analog keyboard however (it's honestly a hybrid keyboard, more info later in my review). Tried SnapTap feature once and stopped using it due to how it's messing me up in terms of fine grain movements. It's a me user error than the keyboard itself. Typing on it feels the same as any other keyboard, although I feel like it is a slught improvement to the previous one I bought (Huntsman V2 TKL). Same sound for mechanical keys. Nothing's different imo. This is where the problem with any Razer products. You really need Razer Synapses to do any changes you want with the keyboard. It isn't really easy to use to get to where you want with this keyboard. Sadly, I'm still using the default profile and haven't looked back at it. Too sensitive and i have issues . SnapTap again is a user issue for me. Keyboard has great functionalities but it's more of a niche case for me. It will be different for everyone else. The cool thing about with this keyboard that it is analog which can be turned into like a controller. When it mentions Analog, this keyboard is a hybrid keyboard. Typing and controller. A lot of games will recognize tbe keyboard as typing by default and analog if you set your profile to that. Ohhh boy, one game does NOT recognize the keyboard as a keyboard. That is Skyrim. Skyrim treats this keyboard as a physical controller and will overtake ANY AND ALL peripherals! From what I read from previous experience, this issue has not been fixed on Razer side. It does not feel great that you have to physically disable the "Xbox Controller for Windows" device and reboot. Or simply use another keyboard just to play Skyrim. I'm not sure about other games that have the same issue, but very noticable on that one particular game. Is it worth buying this keyboard? I guess if you are a Razer fan and like the feature it offers. Huntsman line is really good and I will always like the value of it. But do check if the features are worth it for your case before buying it. I only knocked a star off because of how this keyboard can sometimes be treated as controller in some areas when typing is currently set and how Razer didn't really fix the issue (they never bothered to look at it) since V2 from researching about it.
