Hey there, Great question! While both the Huntsman V2 and the Huntsman V3 Pro are in the same lineup, they have pretty dramatically different internal designs. The Huntsman V2 is relatively much more straightforward. It uses standard optical switches that Razer has been working with comparatively much longer. It also supports a higher polling rate of 8000Hz, which accounts for its significantly more consistent and slightly better single-key latency performance. On the other hand, the Huntsman V3 Pro is an analog keyboard. It still uses optical switches, but they’re optical analog switches. So this keyboard isn’t just scanning to see if switches are being actuated or not but it actively detects how far down switches are being pressed. This gives you the freedom to set customizable actuation and reset points, but it’s all additional load on the keyboard processing side, which, in our estimation, is likely the cause of the latency discrepancy between these two boards. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for reaching out!
So would you guys recommend the V2 based on overall performance / latency?
Update: We’ve corrected an error in the Hardware Customizability section, changing the result of our Switch PCB Socket test from Soldered to Non-Customizable Design.
According to Razer the switches are not soldered in and are hot-swappable with other razer switches.
