The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro is a full-size (100%) gaming keyboard in Razer's Huntsman series, along with its smaller size variants, the tenkeyless (80%) Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL and the compact (60%) Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini. These keyboards use Razer's Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 and can detect how far down they're pressed. These switches allow you to customize how far down you need to press before registering a keystroke. You can also set how far they need to travel back up before you can register another keystroke with the Rapid Trigger feature. You can adjust both these settings on the fly using hotkeys or using the keyboard's software which also provides additional customization options, including RGB lighting, macros, key assignments, and custom profiles.

We bought and tested the full-size Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, but other size variants are also available. See the Differences Between Sizes and Variants section for more details about these models.

Gaming

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards are outstanding for gaming.

They also have full RGB backlighting that you can customize along with a range of other settings using the configuration software.

Pros

Excellent build quality.
Exceptionally low latency performance.
RGB backlighting with shine-through keycap legends.
Can adjust actuation distance and Rapid Trigger settings with hotkeys or using the configuration software.

Office

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards are okay for the office but aren't designed specifically with this use in mind. That said, they have excellent build quality, and both the full-size and tenkeyless sizes include a wrist rest for added support. You can also customize the sensitivity of the switches using hotkeys or the configuration software. Unfortunately, the spacebar rattles a bit, and the overall typing noise is on the louder side.

Pros

Excellent build quality.

Cons

Wired-only.
Typing noise is on the louder side.

They also have full RGB backlighting and shine-through legends that you can see in darker rooms. Unfortunately, the typing noise is on the louder side, and there aren't any dedicated macro keys, although you can record macros to any key using the configuration software.

Entertainment / HTPC

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards are a poor option for entertainment or home theater PC setups as they're wired-only models, so you'll need to sit fairly close to your computer to use them. The full-size models are also quite large and bulky but have dedicated media keys. The smaller compact (60%) size variant of these keyboards is smaller and more maneuverable but lacks dedicated media keys. That said, all size variants have full RGB lighting and shine-through legends that are easy to read in darker rooms.

Pros

Excellent build quality.
RGB backlighting with shine-through keycap legends.

Cons

Wired-only.

Raw Performance

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards offer superb raw performance. They have remarkably low single-key latency and excellent multi-key latency plus full N-key rollover support, the ability to send multiple USB keystrokes per USB report, and a 1000Hz polling rate that isn't limited by other latency elements. Additionally, the analog optical switches allow you to customize the actuation and reset points of individual switches. For more details about this keyboard's customizable performance features, check out the Keystrokes and Single Key Latency sections.

Pros

Exceptionally low latency performance.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

Razer's Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards come in several size variants. At the time of writing, they're only available in a black colorway. We bought and tested the full-size Razer Huntsman V3 Pro. You can see the label for our unit here. We expect our test results to broadly apply to all variants listed below.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards continue Razer's Huntsman lineup of gaming keyboards. Like other entries in this wider series, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro models use optical switches that rely on infrared light beams to register keystrokes. More specifically, these keyboards use analog optical switches that can track how far down they're being pressed and allow you to customize how far you press them before they activate, as well as how far they need to travel to reset before you can activate them again.

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro and its size variants directly update Razer's last generation Razer Huntsman V2 Analog. The major change between these models is the switches themselves. The newer Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards have updated switches and provide more accurate actuation point settings. Additionally, while previous models required the Razer Synapse 3 software to run in the background to enable Rapid Trigger settings, these new keyboards don't. In the broader market context, many gaming models are focused more on delivering conventional raw performance, while others adopt more design elements from custom keyboards, like sound-dampening material, gasket mounting, and pre-lubed components. In contrast, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards focus on offering customizable high-end performance. In terms of switch setting accuracy and feature set, these keyboards are roughly on par with other major flagship options with adjustable actuation, like the Wooting 60HE and the SteelSeries Apex Pro, and they're a great option if you want to fine-tune your keyboard's performance to match your playstyle or for different games you play.

Wooting 80HE

SEE PRICE

Wooting

The Wooting 80HE and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro are both analog gaming keyboards, but they have notable differences. The Razer uses analog optical switches and is available in three sizes, including a TKL option, all of which come with a wristrest. In contrast, the Wooting is only available in an 80% size. While it doesn't include a wrist rest, it offers case options in both plastic and zinc alloy, which the Razer lacks. Performance-wise, the Wooting outshines the Razer, and it supports a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. It also features a gasket mount design for a softer typing experience and multiple layers of acoustic material, making it significantly quieter than the Razer.

Wooting 60HE

SEE PRICE

Wooting

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini and the Wooting 60HE are wired compact (60%) keyboards that use analog optical switches that allow you to customize pre-travel and reset distance of individual keys. The Wooting offers marginally better gaming performance. It also provides a slightly better typing experience and is quieter. Conversely, the Razer is also available in a full-size or tenkeyless size variant, while the Wooting doesn't have size variants available at the time of writing.

SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3

SEE PRICE

Amazon.com

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro and SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3 are both wired analog gaming keyboards with similar raw performance output. The Razer has better overall build quality while the SteelSeries provides a better typing experience with layers of acoustic case foam that also helps round out and dampen the sound profile. The SteelSeries also has a programmable OLED screen which the Razer lacks. Unfortunately, the actuation settings on the SteelSeries are much less accurate.

Razer Huntsman V2

SEE PRICE

Walmart.com

The Razer Huntsman V2 and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro are wired gaming keyboards. The Huntsman V2 uses optical switches and has slightly better raw gaming performance. It's also quieter. The Huntsman V3 Pro uses analog optical switches that allow you to customize individual switches' pre-travel and reset distance.
