Razer Huntsman V3 Pro range - For professionals
The battlefield has just received an upgrade: the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro line. Developed in collaboration with esports professionals, the new range of gamer keyboards offers an unrivaled combination of innovation, precision and durability.
At the heart of the Huntsman V3 Pro line is the second-generation Razer Analog optical switch, which adds even more responsiveness to the gaming experience. With a fully adjustable command activation point between 0.1 and 4.0mm, the peripheral allows users to customize the feature on each key and define how much pressure will be required for shallower and faster clicks, according to their gaming needs. Another distinguishing feature is that each switch on the keyboard is carefully calibrated at the factory for maximum precision and is immune to magnetic interference. Finally, the mechanisms are optimized for an actuation force of 40 grams, preferred by professional gamers, and ideal for quick actions in intense FPS-style games (First-Person Shooter).
The keyboards in the Huntsman V3 Pro range also feature Rapid Trigger Mode. This allows users to press the keys and they return to their natural position much faster than normal. Rapid Trigger is crucial for shooting games, as it allows gamers to move faster and attack enemies with much more precision. For an even more personalized experience, the sensitivity of the feature can also be adjusted, down to 0.1 mm.
In terms of the different sizes of keyboard in the range, the full-sized and tenkeyless (TKL) models lead the way, boasting an array of 10 LEDs that simplify key activation point and Rapid Trigger sensitivity adjustments. The mini version, the third in the range, although compact, takes advantage of the row of numeric keys to ensure that users have no difficulty customizing settings. All the new keyboards have essential features for the dynamic world of e-sports and allow for quick settings adjustments, as well as storing up to six profiles directly in their internal memories. These features ensure quick and easy access to user preferences and are complemented by the Razer Synapse application, which gives gamers even more customization options.
Combining aesthetics and durability, the Huntsman V3 Pro range of keyboards reflects Razer's dedication to the long-lasting quality of its products. The textured Doubleshot PBT keys and the elegant look of the brushed finish of the surface plate, made from 5052 aluminum alloy, have been hand-picked for their durability, ensuring that the keyboards offer both the best performance and maximum resistance to the weather. To add a final touch of comfort to the robust design, the magnetic wrist rest covered in a material that imitates leather ensures that long gaming marathons will be even better.
Cada recurso dos novos teclados foi desenvolvido em colaboração com profissionais de esportes eletrônicos a fim de oferecer o melhor desempenho competitivo aos usuários. “A capacidade de resposta deste teclado é incrível graças ao Rapid Trigger e à menor força de atuação. Parece que o teclado faz parte de mim”, disse o campeão do VCT Korea 2022, Kim “stax” Gu-taek, jogador profissional de VALORANT da DRX.
The Huntsman V3 Pro range is yet another response from Razer to the growing demands of competitive gamers. Combining cutting-edge technology, top-level performance and premium quality materials, it is yet another indispensable tool for any professional gamer looking for maximum performance.

Razer meets sustainability target ahead of schedule and announces industry-first environmental labeling
RazerCon was once again a carbon-neutral live broadcast. More than that, during the event the company announced new commitments related to its goal of zero carbon emissions by 2030 and a new series of initiatives aimed at increasing consumer awareness of environmental impacts and responsibilities. By the end of 2022, 100% of Razer's global offices were already powered by clean or renewable energy, bringing the company's stated commitment date forward by three years. Alongside this, Razer is proud to announce that it has reduced its own carbon emissions by more than 90% since 2019, thanks to the proactive management of its Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
A marca líder em lifestyle gamer ainda revelou outros planos de redução de carbono. Sendo assim, a Razer trabalhará com os seus parceiros da cadeia de abastecimento para alcançar uma redução de 55% na intensidade de carbono da cadeia de abastecimento até 2030. Isto será alcançado com uma série de intervenções abrangentes ‘do berço ao portão’, incluindo a redução de emissões por meio da utilização de materiais reciclados em 100% das linhas de produtos e otimização de processos de fabricação, de embalagem e de transporte, além do incentivo e da maior reciclagem de produtos quando chegam ao fim de suas vidas úteis.
Last year, Razer unveiled the brand's first products to be validated by UL Solutions - the DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed mice and the Razer Ornata V3, which had up to 40% of recycled materials in their composition. This year, Razer is working to announce what could become the world's first Type III eco-label for consumer electronics, allowing gamers to make a much more conscious choice when buying a new product.
Similar to food nutrition labels, the new Type III label not only details the carbon footprint of each product, but also lists the use of water, mineral and fossil resources. Razer believes that this information is key to providing full transparency to the community about the environmental impact of its products. This kind of rigorous labeling, independently verified and transparent, is more than the first in the gaming industry. It is the first in the consumer electronics industry as a whole.
Razer is committed to genuine and effective initiatives that can be independently verified and certified. As such, Razer has joined Science Based Targets, a multinational group of companies willing to achieve the highest standards in raising awareness and mitigating the environmental impact of their activities. Razer has also joined Amazon's Climate Pledge Friendly program, with the aim of achieving zero net carbon emissions by 2040, a decade ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement.
