Razer - Huntsman V3 Pro Mini

I’m browsing for new keyboards and I need suggestions. I’m currently using the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro mini for my Marvel Rivals games. It has actuation adjustments so it helps in fast pa Ed combat. It’s also cute. What are you using?

Had a Blackwidow and a Huntsman Analog Mini The Blackwidow had switch failure where a switch would not properly depress. The metal leaf contact inside the switch had shorn off, IDK how that’s even possible given the box-style switch they use, but having the metal leaf flake off and interfere with the spring is frustrating, especially since opening the damn thing to repair it is such a chore. The Huntsman’s stabilizer clips looked particularly shoddy, lots of flashing on the plastic, really finnicky to reassemble, I wasn’t confident in using it. I have a particularly heavy hand especially when gaming, I have a tendency to piano roll keys, and the stabs would not have held up if they were moulded incorrectly. When a $28 Royal Kludge bottom of the barrel mechanical keyboard has a better stabilizer than the Huntsman Mini, which is more than double the price, something is wrong.

I went from razer huntsman mini v3 to the aula he 60% and saw huge improvement. Some reviews compare the aula he to the wooting that you can check out

I had a huntsman mini v3 and before that I had the full size huntsman. I use it for gaming and software development. I have the ghost case and Geon Raw switches with the double shot pbt wooting keycaps

I like it. It is an interesting piece of tech. Feels natural for gaming. My only concerns are text typing feels weird without feedback, I slam the keys all the way down and it affects my type speed. And key springs are too tight for my taste, my finger tires from constantly pressing W i.e. I disabled rapid trigger and adjusted key press depth for that reason. About your questions. I had no problems with synapse whatsoever. You can adjust depth of press by 0.1mm single key, multiple keys, all keys in synapse. And you can see your current depth of press while pushing any button on the keyboard. You press a key to desired depth, see it on a meter, set the desired depth, really easy. Moreover you don't need synapse at all, just press Fn+Tab and you can adjust depth of press any time with a volume wheel or arrow keys, the keyboard even has integrated depth meter to try it. About build quality, I haven't found any defects. The keyboard is made of plastic with metal rim/bumper, keys are textured, leds are inside the key shafts so there is no bloom/halo around the key, just engraved letter. The palm rest that was included is kinda cheap tho, it is not leather, not even soft, just plastic. Probably to sell you their Pro rest variants. There is no sound at all if you don't smash the key all the way down. No mechanical sound, click or anything, just plastic on plastic. But as I said earlier it is difficult to type, so you will probably hit the keys to the bottom first time. The sound doesn't bother me at all, but I'm also a blue switch enthusiast, so my opinion probably doesn't matter.

Opposite experience with Synapse vs iCUE. Though both suck, but not in context of what they do. People just expect a lot more plug and play in 2025 vs troubleshooting. If dead set on Razer, Huntsman v3 is their “Hall Effect” equivalent competitor. They have several form factors too.

A lot depends on your hand size. If you have small hands, I'd recommend the Razer Cobra Hyperspeed or Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed mice. If your hands are average-sized, then the Viper V3 Pro. Of the Blackwidow V4 75% keyboards, the regular one (not the Phantom Green) is better, as the clear keycaps are too expensive. Our The Huntsman V3 Pro would be a better choice.

Best as in most expensive is the blackwidow v4 pro 75% but yeah the v4 pro is the best mechanical and the huntsman v3 pro is their best optical. Both are great keyboards

I've literally just swapped out my 80HE for a Lemokey P1 HE and couldn't be happier. On paper the 80HE has better raw performance , but there's zero difference to me. I wanted one keyboard to do everything, and I hated typing on the Wooting. Not to mention the build quality is just terrible. I've also used a Razor Huntsman V3 Pro and hated the typing on that too. Steelseries Apex was pretty good, but again, just wasn't it and I hated the looks. The P1 has so far been the best all round keyboard I've ever used. Some might be better in certain areas, but they're nowhere near as well rounded. It's also the best typing feel on a HE keyboard I've ever used, and beats out 98% of mechanicals I've had.
