Razer's new Huntsman V3 TKL 8K is a more affordable version of the Pro, with the same hardware

Razer has introduced a new keyboard in its competitive-focused Huntsman series, one best described as a more affordable version of the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8K we recently reviewed. And it does not compromise performance, with the Razer Huntsman V3 TKL 8KHz dropping the 'Pro' but keeping the same impressive Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen‑2 and true 8,000 Hz polling.

The big differences between the two come down to additional features: the new Razer Huntsman V3 TKL 8KHz drops the programmable control dial and wrist rest for a more streamlined, gaming-focused TKL design. The result is a more affordable Huntsman, with the new non-Pro variant priced at $169.99 USD versus the $219.99 USD of the Pro model.

Naturally, having Razer's next-gen analog or magnetic switches opens the door to on-the-fly adjustments to each key's actuation point via onboard controls or Razer's new Synapse Web interface, with Rapid Trigger and Snap Tap also supported. Razer notes that its switches arrive pre-lubricated with the Razer Huntsman V3 TKL 8KHz sporting internal foam dampening for a clean 'acoustic profile.'

Ultimately, aside from the layout difference and the lack of a control dial, the new Razer Huntsman V3 TKL 8KHz should deliver a gaming and productivity experience similar to the Pro variant.

In our review of that keyboard, we praised its 8K performance and build quality, saying, "for pure gaming performance, features, and customization, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8K is an absolute winner, backed by premium components and build quality. From low latency to the ability to adjust the actuation point for each switch to configuring settings like Snap Tap and Rapid Trigger, Razer has delivered one of the best-performing gaming keyboards with the Huntsman V3 Pro."
