Razer has introduced a new special‑edition Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz, created in partnership with esports organisation Sentinels.

The Sentinels Edition is the second product to come out of the Razer x Sentinels collaboration. It uses a red anodised aluminium top plate paired with black doubleshot PBT keycaps, matching the team’s red‑and‑black colour scheme. Beyond the cosmetic changes, the keyboard retains the same compact tenkeyless layout and competitive focus as the standard Huntsman V3 Pro TKL.

Inside, the keyboard uses Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen‑2 and supports 8000Hz HyperPolling. Rapid Trigger is included, along with movement‑focused input options such as Snap Flex, Snap Tap, Dual‑Keypress Priority and Dynamic Keystroke. Profiles and settings can be adjusted directly on the keyboard or through Razer Synapse Web, which allows configuration without installing desktop software.

The Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz Sentinels Edition is available now starting at £249.99 / $219.99 / €269.99 in a US layout.

KitGuru says: Razer has always had strong ties to the esports world. Are there any other teams you would like to see get exclusive colourways for Razer peripherals?

ASUS ROG has expanded its esports monitor lineup with five new models, led by the 720Hz ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace. Alongside three new 24.5‑inch Ace‑series OLED displays, ASUS has also introduced two 27‑inch triple‑mode monitors capable of switching resolutions and refresh rates on the fly.

At the top of the 24.5‑inch FullHD Ace range, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace uses a 720Hz Tandem WOLED panel with a 0.02ms response time, 1700‑nit peak brightness and an integrated position sensor for physical setup tracking. PGL has selected it as the official display for the 2026 CS2 Major. It arrives in early Q4 for US$1,099, alongside the 540Hz XG259QWPG Ace at US$699. The lineup also includes the 560Hz XG259QDPG Ace and 360Hz XG259QDNS Ace, both using RGB QD‑OLED panels with BlackShield anti‑glare film, 0.03ms response time and 1800‑nit peak brightness.

ASUS is also expanding its triple‑mode monitor range. The 27‑inch 4K ROG Strix XG27UCMG can switch between 4K@240Hz, QHD@400Hz and FHD@488Hz. It covers 95% of DCI‑P3, carries DisplayHDR 400 certification, includes a built‑in KVM switch and offers USB‑C connectivity with 15W power delivery.

The second model, the 27‑inch QHD Fast IPS ROG Strix XG27ACNS, reaches QHD@475Hz, FHD@620Hz or HD@920Hz with a 0.3ms response time. Both triple‑mode displays support ASUS DisplayWidget Center and hardware‑assisted AI visual enhancements. Pricing and availability for these two models have not yet been announced.

KitGuru says: There are not many FullHD OLED-type panels out there, but Asus is changing that very soon with four new models coming in Q4.

Razer has introduced the Huntsman V3 Pro Low‑profile Tenkeyless 8KHz, a slimmer TKL variant of its analogue optical esports keyboard. The board uses new low‑profile switches and supports adjustable actuation alongside an 8,000Hz polling rate.

The keyboard uses Razer’s Low‑profile Analog Optical Switches, offering adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 2.8mm, with Rapid Trigger Mode for faster key resets. Total travel sits at 2.8mm, and the front height measures 19.5mm to reduce wrist angle. Razer claims the board can achieve an average latency of 0.39ms at 0.1mm actuation when paired with its 8,000Hz polling mode.

Advanced input features from the full‑height Huntsman V3 Pro also carry over. Razer Snap Flex enables separate press and release bindings, while Dynamic Keystroke allows up to four actions on a single key based on actuation depth. The switches are pre‑lubricated and sit on internal dampening to soften impact noise. Profiles save directly to onboard memory, with further configuration available through Razer Synapse Web.

The Huntsman V3 Pro Low‑profile Tenkeyless 8KHz is priced at £229.00 in the UK, $229.99 in the US and €259.99 in Europe.

KitGuru Says: Razer’s Huntsman V3 Pro line now includes a low‑profile option for those who prefer a slimmer chassis and adjustable analogue actuation.

Zowie has introduced its new XQ esports monitor series, including the XQ2566X and XQ2766X. The lineup uses newly developed QHD Fast TN panels paired with a 360Hz refresh rate and the company’s latest DyAc 3 motion‑clarity technology.

Zowie says the new displays are designed for competitive players who prioritise motion resolution and latency. The XQ series also introduces a new Color Filter option, which adjusts colour balance to improve visibility in games with heavy visual overlays.

KitGuru says: While most are looking towards IPS or OLED monitors these days for better colour performance, there is still a place in the market for TN. In most cases, TN panels are preferred by esports players.
