Razer Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic 8K keyboards include a Mini 65% model

Razer has announced a pair of new keyboards for competitive gamers with the new Razer Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic 8KHz lineup. With customizable Hall Effect (HE) magnetic switches and 8000 Hz HyperPolling, the new Huntsman V3 HE keyboards are available in two form factors, TKL and compact Mini 65%.

Both are powered by custom Razer Hall Effect Magnetic Switches, which seem to be different from the Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 that powered the recent Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8K. That said, overall performance looks to be similar for these more affordable gaming-focused options, with adjustable actuation from 0.1 to 4.0 mm, a 100-million keystroke lifespan, and 8000 Hz HyperPolling that Razer notes delivers competitive 0.60ms average latency.

Although they might lack the media buttons, control dial, and wrist rest of the Pro option, these new Razer Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic options are all about delivering the "absolute best in esports performance."

And with that, they support all of the features we've come to expect from a modern magnetic keyboard from Razer, including Rapid Trigger, Dual-Keypress Priority or SOCD, Snap Flex for assigning two actions to a single keystroke, and Dynamic Keystroke for assigning four actions to a single keystroke. Players can also customize the keyboards via the dedicated Razer Synapse app for PC or the new Synapse Web interface accessible via a browser.
