Just buy it :) Synapse 4 is a good software, 3 was a mess, but now it's a really good app :) Build quality is one of the best for *gaming* keyboards, you won't notice any problems with quality. Except one thing - you may experience coil whine from lightning unfortunately. I have Huntsman V3 Pro TKL and TKL 8kHz and both pieces have coil whine from 15-20% of lightning level. At 100% coil whine is really annoying :( Some of lightning effects (Fire for example) has not so loud whine, but Static at 25% and higher coil whine is really noticeable. Typing sound of first non-8 kHz version is a bit cheap, yes, but it's a gaming keyboard, not a typing one, so main function is gaming and its perfect. Main problem with sound is a hollow case, "echo" inside it transferring to the table and here you go, cheap sounding. But it's actually not that bad, I used first version for two years and can't say it's so awful. Set actuation point higher, disable Rapid Trigger and type by the tip of a finger barely touching keys :) not bad at all. The 8 kHz version on the other hand is very good now, no "echo", pleasant strokes, a huge step from first version, but there's still some room for improvement, like plastic housing could be more soundproofed. Overall, taking into account all gaming features, Huntsman V3 Pro/8 kHz has no other competitors out there, so if you considering a purchase of Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, you should try it!

If you using red switches than you know how it feels :) I was used to play mostly on red cherry switches, but then I switched to red optical switches from ASUS - RX RED, which have the first actuation force of 40g. And after to Razer Optical Analog Gen-2, and didn't feel any of discomfort using them. Yes they are really light, you can set up actuation point when registered stroke will be when you barely touching keycap. And no actual back force from switches, yes. I think this is intentional, because it's a gaming keyboard :) I was concerning when I choose reds for the first time, but anyway you will used to it and won't feel any real difference, it's just a mechanical keyboard after all. Only if you are really sensitive to key switches than you should try it somewhere in offline stores befo buy :)

I recently acquired the Blackwidow V3 Pro 8k and it has foam dampeners with significantly less rattle than the normal V3 Pro. Granted $240 is way overpriced but I was able to get one for $140

For typing not much diff across any keyboard Tried on Lenovo T14 keyboard, Logi K380, Logi G213, Razer Huntsman V3 TKL, Keychron V6 Max, I perform similarly... Gaming wise, I would say Huntsman V3 give me better response. Not sure about keychron's offering but I recommend to go for their Hall Effects line up

Hi, I am an avid gamer and a work from home developer on the side from my main job. I currently use the Razer Huntsman V3 pro TKL for everything I do on PC. However recently I've had the urge to get a keyboard that's better for typing and has a num pad preferably. Does anyone have any suggestions on prebuilt keyboards or custom keyboards/kits for me? I am not well versed in the keyboard world as much as I am in software and hardware. Budget is not really a concern.

Upgraded from a Razer Huntsman V3 TKL with Optical switches. Loving this so far. Paying $300+ for a Wooting keyboard is NOT worth it imo. This is a solid deal!

Is it worth switching from a Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL to a Wooting 60HE? How much of a difference would it make? Wooting just lowered their prices on the KB and I'm able to return the Huntsman as of right now, my only concern being the lack of function keys on a 60%. I do enjoy the Huntsman, however all I've been hearing about is how great the Wooting is in comparison to everything else. Any advice would be great, thanks.

Depends what you mean by best. All will have similar performance. Wooting has the best software but you can get keyboards like the MadLion for £40 which have better performance across the board. It just isn’t worth buying Wooting at the moment unless you want analog output which is only supported by Wootlity and Synapse. For 75% the K2 HE is a nice board for performance and quality sound/feel. If you only care about performance the Huntsman V3 Pro has the least dead zone space and better control over the switches in stock performance due to weight and stability. Hall sensors are extremely cheap to produce now. When Steelseries revived Hall effect PCBs were quite expensive to produce. Depends what you want honestly.
