Razer Huntsman keyboards add 8K polling to their repertoire

Razer has really set the world on fire with recent 8K polling offerings (including both the incredible DeathAdder V4 Pro mouse and Wolverine V3 Pro PC controller). Now, you can get lightning fast response from your keyboard. Razer's Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz and Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz are now here and ready to rock your desk. Check out the details below.

IRVINE, CALIF. – OCTOBER 28, 2025 – Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz and Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz, its most advanced esports gaming keyboards to date.

The Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz and Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz build on the award-winning Huntsman legacy, introducing next-generation responsiveness and refined keystroke feel for a truly competitive edge.

“The Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz is a reflection of our relentless pursuit of esports excellence. With the evolution of our Analog Optical Switches and the introduction of 8000 Hz HyperPolling, we’ve pushed performance to new heights,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division. “It delivers the speed, control and precision that elite players demand. It’s a showcase of what happens when engineering meets competitive ambition.”

Built with Champions. Proven on the Battlefield.

The Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz was developed with direct input from esports legends, including Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, legendary Counter-Strike icon with 10 international titles, and the newest member of Team Razer. NiKo worked closely with Razer engineers to fine-tune latency, keystroke feel, and overall performance.

“The Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz gives me the precision and reliability I need in competitive play,” said NiKo, Team Razer Athlete. “I’ve used the previous version, but the 8KHz model takes things to another level. Throughout development, I shared my feedback through personal experiences on the ground and my personal thoughts on what constituted a great esports gaming keyboard. I even visited Razer’s HQ and development lab in Singapore, where I was able to speak directly with the engineers and help fine-tune the keyboard for top-level performance and feel.”

“Speed, accuracy, precision, feel – every detail matters in esports. The Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz is built to deliver all of it, giving players the edge they need,” said Jeffrey Chau, Global Esports Director at Razer. “It’s the result of years of collaboration with the world’s best esports pros, shaped directly by their feedback. More than a performance upgrade, it sets a new standard for speed and precision, giving players the responsiveness they need to compete at the highest level.”

Unrelenting Speed. Unmatched Precision. Unrivalled Feel.

At the heart of the Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz is Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen-2, paired with True 8000 Hz HyperPolling Technology, which delivers 11% faster performance[1] than the nearest competitor and achieves a mere 0.58 ms latency[2]. Every input is registered with near-instant responsiveness, giving players the edge in high-stakes moments.

The switches feature a full 0.1 – 4.0 mm adjustable actuation range, Rapid Trigger Mode, and Razer™ Snap Tap, enabling ultra-responsive directional changes and faster resets – critical for clutch plays in FPS titles.

Calibrated at the factory for best-in-class deadzone management, the switches deliver true 0.1 mm precision and 2.5x better accuracy than the closest competitor[3]. Rated for up to 100 million keystrokes, they’re built to withstand the rigors of competitive play.

Designed for durability and precision, the keyboards feature a premium 5052 aluminum alloy top case, a dense sound-dampening foam layer, and pre-lubricated stabilizers. Paired with Razer’s Gen 2 analog optical switches, textured doubleshot PBT keycaps, and a magnetic leatherette wrist rest, these elements deliver a clean, muted typing acoustic and an ultra-satisfying keystroke feel, crafted for long hours of competitive play.

Command at Your Fingertips

Both models feature a clickable multi-function digital dial and dedicated control buttons, enabling quick access to media, macros, and on-the-fly adjustments to actuation height or Rapid Trigger sensitivity. Visual feedback is provided via an onboard LED array, with all settings saved directly to the keyboard, no software required.

Razer Snap Tap adds a tactical edge by instantly prioritizing the latest input between two keys, enabling near-instant directional changes without releasing the first key.

As competitive gaming continues to evolve, so too will the tools that define it. With the Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz, Razer sets a new benchmark not just for speed and precision but for how performance hardware can shape the future of play at the highest level.
