Razer makes some of the best gaming keyboards on the market, especially when it comes to stylish RGB lighting, but even its most basic gaming keyboards tend to come at a considerable premium. That goes double when it’s a high-tech keyboard like the Huntsman V2 Analog, which features analog optical key switches and per-key RGB lighting, among other features. That premium is what makes a deal like this all the more exciting. Amazon currently has this keyboard at 52% off, dropping the price down to just $120. That’s almost as cheap as the Razer Huntsman Mini, which we thought was exceptional for gaming and typing, and unlike that smaller version, the Huntsman V2 Analog doesn’t have a steep learning curve.
Enjoy a powerful ally in games and all the RGB glory that comes from a high-end Razer device at a staggering discount.
Gaming keyboards aren’t a one-size-fits-all kind of product. From the depth of the keystroke and pressure on the keys to the physical footprint of the actual keyboard on your desk, there’s plenty that goes into getting one that feels right to you, and even then, what feels right can change depending on what you’re playing or working on. The Razer Huntsman V2 Analog changes the equation by taking one of the aspects of a gaming keyboard that’s usually static — actuation depth — and making it flexible. With custom actuation depth on the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog, you can fine-tune the control on a per-key basis, giving you hair-trigger responsiveness on some keys for the fastest reaction or requiring a deep press on other keys to ensure you only press them when you mean it. For example, twitchy WASD keys can keep you moving on a dime, while ultimate abilities with a deep actuation point can avoid misfires.
That analog feature is flanked by the qualities that set Razer’s keyboards apart. You’ll find a sturdy chassis with an aluminum top plate and resplendent RGB lighting that shines through all of the keys as well as around much of the perimeter of the keyboard, including the plush wrist rest that snaps on magnetically. Normally, the analog switch technology on its own would make for a fairly expensive keyboard, and then all the gaming extras Razer tacks on would raise the price even higher. This deal makes the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog a steal, and even though Razer has released a newer model in the V3 Pro, it’s not definitively an upgrade over the V2 Analog.
