Razer partners with Sentinels for special edition Huntsman V3 Pro TKL keyboard

7 September 2026 at 17:30

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.

Razer expands Huntsman V3 lineup with low-profile TKL 8KHz model

21 August 2026 at 13:00

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.
