Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro [Mini, TKL]

REALFORCE GX1

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL and the REALFORCE GX1 are analog gaming keyboards that allow you to customize the actuation and release distance of individual switches. The Razer uses optical-analog switches which have a linear typing feel. It also provides significantly better raw gaming performance. Comparatively, the REALFORCE uses Topre switches, which are much quieter and provide a satisfying tactile feel with a soft bottom-out, which is particularly unusual for an analog keyboard.
