Razer just dropped their fastest gaming keyboard yet, and it's a beast.
The Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz (and its tenkeyless sibling) isn't just another gaming keyboard – it's what happens when you let esports pros help design their dream setup. And trust us, they didn't hold back.
Here's the deal: This keyboard rocks Razer's Gen-2 Analog Optical Switches with True 8000 Hz polling. In plain English? It's 11% faster than anything else out there, with a crazy low 0.58ms latency. Your inputs register basically the moment you think about pressing a key.
The switches are pretty wild too. You can adjust the actuation anywhere from 0.1mm to 4.0mm, plus you get Rapid Trigger Mode and Razer's Snap Tap feature. What does that mean for you? Faster direction changes, quicker resets, and those clutch plays that make highlight reels.
Razer teamed up with Nikola "NiKo" Kovač – yeah, the Counter-Strike legend with 10 international titles. He didn't just slap his name on it either. NiKo actually flew to Razer's Singapore HQ, worked directly with the engineers, and helped fine-tune everything from latency to how the keys feel under your fingers.
"The 8KHz model takes things to another level," NiKo said. And coming from a 9-time CS championship MVP, that's high praise.
This isn't some plastic toy. The Huntsman V3 Pro features:
Oh, and those switches? They're rated for 100 million keystrokes. Good luck wearing these out.
Both models come with a clickable multi-function dial and dedicated control buttons right on the keyboard. Adjust your actuation height, tweak Rapid Trigger sensitivity, or fire off macros without touching any software. Everything saves directly to the keyboard, so your settings follow you wherever you go.
The Snap Tap feature is particularly clever – it instantly prioritizes your latest input between two keys. Sounds simple, but when you're counter-strafing in an FPS, it's a game-changer.
Razer's Head of PC Gaming, Barrie Ooi, put it best: "It delivers the speed, control and precision that elite players demand." Whether you're grinding ranked or competing at LANs, the Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz is built to keep up with you.
