Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman V2

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro [Mini, TKL]

The Razer Huntsman V2 and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro are wired gaming keyboards. The Huntsman V2 uses optical switches and has slightly better raw gaming performance. It's also quieter. The Huntsman V3 Pro uses analog optical switches that allow you to customize individual switches' pre-travel and reset distance.
