What you need to know
Razeris one of the premiere manufacturers of premium PC gaming accessories, laptops, and components, with a wide range of products to target every price range and use case. Razer’s keyboards are some of the most advanced on the market, offering unique features and capabilities for any gamer that doesn’t want to invest in enthusiastkeyboards.
RazerCon 2023 is here for Razer to show off a range of new products and updates, and one of the headlining announcements is the latest in Razer keyboards. The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro line of high-end, esports-focused gaming keyboards is here, and it looks like a fantastic follow-up to the agingRazer Huntsman V2or — more accurately — the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog. That’s because the V3 Pro, available in different sizes, features Razer’s new Analog Optical Switch Gen-2, with even more varied customizable actuation.
You can see an overview of the features shared by all three sizes below, then continue to learn about the specific differences between the models.
Razer Huntsman V3 Pro
The full-sized Razer Huntsman V3 Pro is also the most fully featured, with a tenkey number pad on the side (with per-key RGB lighting), three programmable control buttons and a multi-function digital dial, and a full-sized magnetic leatherette wrist rest. The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro is available to preorder from Razer now for an MSRP of $249.99, and will be released in Oct. 2023.

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless
The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless drops the tenkey number pad for a more compact form factor, but it also loses one of the three programmable control buttons in the process. Other than that, it is practically identical to the regular V3 Pro. The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless is now available to preorder from Razer for an MSRP of $219.99, and will be released in Oct. 2023.

If you want all the prowess of the full-sized Huntsman V3 Pro but don’t need the tenkey number pad, you can save a bit of cash and space with this more compact variant. Just be aware you’re also giving up one of the programmable control buttons.

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini
The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini is a standard 60% sized keyboard, and it does lose some features versus its bigger siblings. For one, you lose all the programmable control buttons and the multi-function digital dial, but you also lose the wrist rest and dedicated arrow keys.
Instead, the Mini employs dual-purpose modifier keys that turn some keys into the arrow keys when tapped (Right Shift into Up, Right Ctrl as Right, Menu as Down, and Right Alt as Left), while letting you use the keys' original function with a long press. The pseudo arrow key function can still be accessed without the dual-purpose setting enabled by holding the FN key when pressing the corresponding keys.

Ultimate esports performance from Razer
-Best gaming laptops-Review: Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed-Review: Alienware AW920K keyboard-Surface Laptop Studio 2 overview
I’m currently typing this on theRazer Huntsman Elite, and it has been my daily driver since my previous keyboard’s “F” key mysteriously bit the dust. It’s an excellent gaming keyboard and has been extremely reliable and consistent when playing all thebest PC games. The upcoming Razer Huntsman V3 Pro line of wired gaming keyboards looks like a marked step up from my current peripheral, and I’m curious to see if the widened adjustable actuation and onboard keyboard customization will be enough to justify the high price tags.
After all, it’s basically a given that these keyboards will look good and be built well, but the high-end segment of gaming keyboards differentiates itself through unique features you can’t find anywhere else. Hopefully, Windows Central will be able to get one or more of these keyboards in to give you the full breakdown on whether the latest, high-performance, esports-focused gaming keyboard from Razer is really worth it.
