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.

EA Advertising is a new ad platform through which the EA Sports FC, Star Wars Jedi, and Skate publisher/developer will start putting ads in their games through "dynamic, real-time placements." These are ads that EA says will "enhance, not disrupt, the player experience." Ads in video games are not something we haven't seen before. One of the most notable cases in recent years was 2K adding un-skippable ads in NBA 2K21, which was the third year in a row 2K had experimented with putting ads in an NBA 2K title. But it's a practice we've seen appear mostly in annualized […]

Announced in a new PlayStation Blog post, EA Sports associate brand marketing manager Mark Roberts answered some questions on what went into adding PSSR to F1 25 and what PS5 Pro owners can expect from the game now getting a […]

A new year means a new WWE 2K game, and I recently made the trip to WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, to go hands-on with WWE 2K26 (read more about that here). As has become tradition, I also sat down with longtime WWE 2K series creative director Lynell Jinks and gameplay producer Bryan Williams to take the current temperature of the series.

After several years of steady piecemeal improvement, WWE 2K25 went all-in on The Island, a new cosmetic-festooned online hub similar to NBA 2K's The City, with most other aspects of the game falling by the wayside. Was this just a one-year misstep, or the beginning of a new direction? Last week, I traveled to WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, to go hands-on with WWE 2K26 and was surprised to find I could test pretty much the entire game (in years past, journalists were typically given a curated list of […]
