Earlier, Razer announced its Esports Green Collection which included a handful of unreleased products. One of these was the Raiju V3 Pro. Another, as it turns out, is the Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz. This is because the gaming peripheral brand has only recently announced the 8KHz variants of the optical keyboard.
With that being said, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz and its Tenkeyless variant are mostly the same keyboards that launched two years ago. But as the name suggests, these newcomers get 8KHz polling rate as an option. Which means that the keyboard will get your rig to check for inputs 8,000 times a second. Assuming your rig’s CPU is beefy enough to handle it, that is.
Returning features include Rapid Trigger Mode, letting each key’s input to be registered again without having to be fully depressed. Expanding on this is Snap Tap, which prioritises newer inputs over existing ones. This lets you change movement directions faster than you can depress the older key input, for instance. And to keep track of all of these modes is the LED array that shows which of these are on.
Despite being announced later than the Raiju V3 Pro, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz and its TKL variant are already available on the brand’s online store. The standard variant costs RM1,249, while the TKL model is priced at RM1,099. Only the TKL version gets special colours though, with White costing RM50 more, and the Esports Green having a RM80 premium.
