Razer Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz: Real Users Debate the Price

No offense but there are a million 50$ hall effect keyboards out there with a better build quality and performance. If you're happy with it, then it's fine ig.

You can get a WAY better custom keyboard for that price. Just find a decent body + switches + keycaps. If you don't want to bother - check other manufacturers, this is REALLY OVERPRICED.

It would be crazy if Razer released a new Huntsman V3 upgrade with an 8000 Hz polling rate, when the original V3 was already a downgrade from the V2, including the drop from 8000 Hz to 1000 Hz and a worse wrist rest. Maybe this time they'll give us a proper wrist rest, quieter switches, and better raw performance like the V2 had.

Shouldve gotten the wooting.

Any huntsman v3 pro is 8k polling rate? There is like no difference between 1k and 8k its just for marketing lol

$144? Oh dear, that's about $100 more than that keyboard is worth.

Shouldve spent more for a Wooting, it's just overall better software, customer service, and community. Also, rarely see any problems compared to Razer products. Another downside with the Razer Huntsman v3 Pro TKL is that it doesn't have hot-swappable switches. Don't get me started on Synapse, it runs in the background and uses up unnecessary amount of resources.

Waste of money imo

Please no. Not from logitech or razer (they are overpriced as hell). Buy yourself something from aula, monsgeek, ajazz, attack shark. Or make your own custom keyboard.

Completely false and biased information about Razer being cheap.

V3 TKL has been giving me problems with synapse resetting profiles and actuations. Tried factory resetting board which works for a month but went back.

Honestly, there is probably no real benefit over 1k polling rates. A human can only use ten fingers and the actual rate one can depress keys combined with the minimum tactile sensitivity and muscle control probably makes it cost and complexity with no measurable benefit.

I like it. It is an interesting piece of tech. Feels natural for gaming. My only concerns are text typing feels weird without feedback, I slam the keys all the way down and it affects my type speed. And key springs are too tight for my taste, my finger tires from constantly pressing W. I disabled rapid trigger and adjusted key press depth for that reason.

Just buy it. Synapse 4 is a good software, 3 was a mess, but now it's a really good app. Build quality is one of the best for gaming keyboards, you won't notice any problems with quality. Except one thing - you may experience coil whine from lightning unfortunately. I have Huntsman V3 Pro TKL and TKL 8kHz and both pieces have coil whine from 15-20% of lightning level. At 100% coil whine is really annoying.

I will never ever recommend a razer product to anyone. Maybe some of their mice but even then their software is TERRIBLE. Build quality on all razer keyboards my family has owned has been meh with LEDs failing and dials breaking. They're overall just overpriced. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.

The wooting is objectively a better keyboard than the huntsman pro. The huntsman case is low profile, sounds really bad and its not customizable, the switches are proprietary and cant be fixed or changed. You will get hollow sound from the keycaps and switches. It works with synapse, wooting is web-based so no need to install programs that take a toll on your ram and cpu. The huntsman v3 pro will work perfectly though.

Cost. Parts to make the board 8k would cause an increase in price most users won't notice. Some number crunchers probably crunched some numbers and figured 1k is more profitable.

After reading this I had a look at the Wooting 80he and I'm liking what I'm seeing. After a bit of research my main areas of concern are actuation points and polling and this seems to be pretty great in that regard. So I might go for this one.

V3 pro 8k version is Godly in typing and gaming experience. Keyboard feels premium and no rattling. Just clean typing.

Thanks for reminding me this wrist rest which unironically has been causing me wrist pain vs the Huntsman V2 that I owned previously. God that was such a miss and after this long, this upgrade is worse.

Good lord you're telling me I've been holding onto my 2nd dying Huntsman V3 Pro for a new to release and they can't even come out with a V4? You have to be joking

Wooting is better keyboard no doubt, but I have a huntsman and its good for cs2. Adding - You need to buy wooting through their website which would be additional costs/time on customs. Huntsman v3 pro is easily available.

Razer will launch a new V4 pro soon. 80HE is definitely better as a product compared to V3 pro and way more customizable due to razer using special optical switches. Both is good enough for any game but if you have to buy now get 80 HE.

Razer mice and keyboards with 8k have the lowest latency on the market according to rtings. The 8k polling rate does help, you just need to check rtings to see the data.

Under no circumstances should you buy the Huntsman V3 Pro 8 kHz until Razer fixes their software. Synapse 4 works terribly with this keyboard. There is an infinite profile loading issue, which makes it impossible to use Snap Tap, Rapid Trigger, or even adjust the actuation point. Essentially, right now it's just a good keyboard, but a completely basic one — with no usable customization at all.

Build quality not right for the price in my opinion, typing feel is pretty average but again not good enough, i had no problems with synapse and I just bought it for the variable actuation points and I'm satisfied.

I had a Huntsman V3 Pro tkl.. worked great for a while until a spilled a drink on it. Next a Huntsman v3 pro 60%... There is a serious software issue with the 60% for sure. Not hardware it is software exactly what they were describing... Had no choice but to purchase the V2 model.. Which is still very good... Much more reliable.. If the software gets fixed maybe I switch back to the V3 model.

Only meaningful difference is the lubrication and foam they added so it feels and sounds nicer. 8khz doesn't really matter but its better in theory. There are also a few new features in synapse that the gen 1 doesn't have such as DKS and adjustable switch dead zones. These could be easily added to the original one but sadly, I feel like they won't.

You can get a wooting keyboard for around the same price. I have a huntsman v3 pro and I like it but if I could go back I would have got the wooting instead.

In terms of performance and feel of responsiveness in games there is no reason to spend ~100$ more for new version. Gen 1 is a really fast keyboard. New version has more software options - main difference I've noticed, besides the 2000/4000/8000Hz of course is that you can now add more than one pair of SnapTap buttons.

I bought a used v3, some maybe that has something to do with it. But the switches just didn't feel very nice. Not scratchy, just a very numb membrane almost feeling. The whole analog aspect is cool but only worked in certain games from my experience. I also would get random movements in games. It was almost like the game recognized the keyboard as a controller and moved my mouse around.

All my peripherals are Razer, mainly so I don't have to install multiple control software from different brands. A higher polling rate is just a gimmick that tends to cause issues. I switched from a Razer Basilisk Ultimate Hyperspeed to a Basilisk V3 Pro and started getting weird stuttering in many games. It took me forever to find the source of the issue.

My only concerns are text typing feels weird without feedback, I slam the keys all the way down and it affects my type speed. Same here. Over time will get use to it but first time it feels so weird.

I paid 260€ for mine. Is it worth that price? Hell no. Do I love it? Absolutely yes.

You can get a Keychron Q6 HE for about the same price and its a 100x better. Razer is never worth that amount of money in terms of what they deliver. The Q6 HE is a full size board with HE switches, full metal housing, better switches, and a better battery. You don't have to download any software for the Q6 HE versus using Razer's lighting suite.

The Huntsman will perform fine in games. You will hate typing on it. It sounds worse than it feels which is an accomplishment. The knob is a slight convenience but it's just as easy to turn volume up/down/mute with keyboard shortcuts. The Huntsman V3 Pro though was probably the most unsatisfying keyboard I've ever used. I don't even like pressing AWSD.

You sure it's not just an issue you have? Not really the keyboard's fault, my synapse works just fine.

I was looking for some quality built keyboards with hall effect not long ago and landed on DrunkDeer A75 Pro, never looking back, the build quality and weight is awesome at like 120$.

I've had a Huntsman Tournament Edition TKL going on 6 years now. These keebs are good for gaming, they had Hall Effect level response times before HE was a thing. Yeah but the sound was straight ass though.

There are only two somewhat decent full size adjustable trigger keyboards. Razer Huntsman v3 and Keychron Q5/Q6 HE. Buy things that make you happy. Razer keyboard's media keys are well made, and their macro/script is better than all other keyboard's macro.

Yunzii rt75 pro is my recommendation for a 70$ Hall effect 8k polling wireless keyboard. Razer is known for bad keyboards these last couple years.
