Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman V2 Analog

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro [Mini, TKL]

The Razer Huntsman V2 Analog and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro are wired gaming keyboards that use analog optical switches that allow you to customize individual keys' pre-travel and reset distance. The V3 Pro is newer and uses an updated version of these switches. It also provides better actuation and Rapid Trigger setting accuracy. Additionally, with the V3 Pro, you can enable Rapid Trigger without having the software running in the background, which isn't possible with the older V2 model.
