Razer's new Huntsman is the 'world's first low-profile analog optical esports keyboard'

Described as the "world's first low-profile analog optical esports keyboard," the wired Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz pairs low-profile keycaps and switches with performance built for competitive gaming. With its new Razer Low-profile Analog Optical Switches, it supports gaming features like Rapid Trigger, Razer Snap Flex, Snap Tap, and 8,000Hz (8K) polling for ultra-low-latency performance.

The slim design and reduced travel distance mean the analog switches offer 0.1 mm to 2.8 mm adjustable actuation, with adjustments available in 0.1 mm increments. And when you pair this with Razer's True 8000Hz HyperPolling, you're looking at a snappy response with a reported 0.39 ms average latency. Razer notes this is a 52% improvement over the "nearest competing keyboard," though it doesn't specify the model tested.

As a compact board, the 19.5mm front height makes it notably slimmer than its full-sized counterpart, but it still sports an angled layout to support natural wrist placement and finger movement. Under the hood, it also features foam dampening for acoustics and a smooth typing experience, plus lubrication for the Low-profile Analog Optical Switches.

And to add weight to the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz gaming performance, Razer confirms that an unreleased version of the keyboard was recently used by Counter-Strike championship team MOUZ's Lotan "Spinx" Giladi during a recent tournament. With the keyboard, he earned the HLTV MVP award of his career.

"The Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz takes everything competitive players love about our flagship analog optical switches and brings it into a slimmer, more ergonomic form factor," said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. "For years, low-profile meant trading away performance for comfort. This keyboard ends that trade-off, delivering the speed, control, and precision elite players demand, and it's already proven itself on the championship stage."
