![]() ![]() ![]() The level of customisation in Synapse makes for some seriously fun tinkering, especially if your game supports it. In practice, the analog switches are pretty neat. For instance, instead of switching to your grenade and throwing it with your left mouse button, you could simply throw it in the same keystroke. This enables each keystroke to activate two different programmed functions set at two different actuation points, kind of like having two keys in one. At first glance, this appears to lend itself well to performing complex combos in game, or even by combining simple actions. You can set the actuation anywhere from 1.5mm to 3.6mm, depending on your preferences.įinally, each key also supports deeper functionality with what Razer calls dual-step actuation. The analog input emulates an analog joystick input for smoother, finer-grained control, but you can also customise each key's actuation point. What this means is that you now get additional adjustability in each keystroke. With fewer moving parts and no physical contacts to degrade, these switches are theoretically more reliable and are rated for up to 100 million keystrokes. ![]() These have all the benefits of regular optical switches as well. Derived from Razer's optical switches, which rely on light to actuate a key instead of mechanical contacts, the analog switches can now track how much light goes through the switch and allow the keyboard to measure how far down each key is pressed. How do analog switches work?īut its familiar appearance belies the cool tech underlying its switches. If not, it's simply out-of-this-world expensive.ĭesign-wise, the Huntsman V2 Analog looks remarkably similar to the BlackWidow V3 Pro, so Razer has decided not to change up anything too drastically outside of its new switches. If you've been wanting this feature for a while, the price will seem justified. The Huntsman V2 Analog lives and dies on its analog switches. At an eye-watering S$399, it will only really appeal to gamers who, depending on the games they play, want controller-like functionality on their keyboard. The Huntsman V2 Analog is probably one of the most easily available analog keyboards today, but it also comes with a stiff price tag. (On an unrelated note, while we primarily use British English, since the product name is "Analog", we'll stick to that throughout the article.) This is still a rarity today – one other brand that also makes analog keyboards is Wooting, but it has yet to really gain traction in the mainstream market. The newest member is the Huntsman V2 Analog, which as its name suggests, features unique pressure-sensitive analog optical switches. Razer's Huntsman family of keyboards just keeps growing.
