This keyboard is also a controller? Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Review

This is my review of the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless. This is an update to the Huntsman line up that includes interesting additions like adjustable actuation levels, a rapid trigger for super fast action and even an analog mode that works as a replacement for your gaming controller.
This keyboard surprised me in a number of ways. It's comfortable, capable and has some hidden highlights that aren't immediately obvious at first glance. I've been using it for a few weeks now, so wanted to talk about how it's stacked up.

There are certainly a few things to like. It's quieter than other Razer keyboards I've tried in the past and the keypresses are satisfying, but more importantly it's highly customisable. You can see the whole keyboard to a specific actuation point, switch between different modes/profiles for different game styles and tweak the rapid trigger too. With Razer Synapse, you can do more too, including adjusting settings on a per-key basis.

Looks good, I have the Tartarus Pro from razer and it uses the actuation stuff, it's a nice feature. As for keyboard though, I will stick with my Drop ALT TKL :)

[danilocamere]

Nice review man congrats ..i bought one of these still learning all the tricks but is pretty cool !!

[cheekster]

Great and very detailed review. 👍🏻

Thank you.

Which keyboard is best for games 60-80 in 2024?

[madant]

Yeah, RoN is really good. But we play only "barricaded suspects" and never bother with non-lethal weapons. Basically it is a successor to Raven Shield.

[FPSRockstar]

@TheProvokedPrawn What headset are you using in the video?

[Tyrimir.]

you can turn off chroma games in synapse so games cant take over the lighting

[rodrigofernety]

it's the typing experience any good? i think this black switches are like riggid or something opposite the orange

[mariankowalski]

Wait... So if its recognized as controller do you get aim assist with it?

[FPSRockstar]

what headset are use using in the video?

[ShugoGamer]

Did you know how to fix the controller? I got the keyboard and can only use my controller if I unplug the keyboard itself.

[hhyling]

But is it still possible to use keyboard or controller???, I dont want keyboard to become my controller.

[kcspef]

Can i set the arrow keys to analog for play FC2024 or pes game in this keyboard ?. Thank you.

[aiien]

i think this is the best keyboard if you don't want to wait 4 months for a keyboard aka wooiting

[MarioMiloloza-ss]

This keyboard is great but it sound horrendous and it's way too loud.
Bad sound is not really what bothers me that much but BOY is it loud. Wakes up half of the house.

[marvlouslie]

I'd rather play with a controller, tbh. I don't like the fact that if you have this keyboard it actively disables controller use.

[Leinsterbaby]

Now that is waaay to much for my taste … ffs, it is just a keyboard ….get a a rapid trigger keyboard with a controller, get smoked by some dude in a trust keyboard from Tesco.

[stevesutton]

Razer needs to clean up its act before its too late. Used be extremely innovative but losing its edge at face ripping prices.

[Paradox-coffee]

I never got this RGB keys. No one is looking at their keys. So who cares. I don't want them to light up. It is just extra cost and no benefits. I hope you can turn it off.

[artietwo]

How can I turn off the controller? I can't play with my Scuf controller! 🥲
