Razer announced two all-new products this week, the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog Keyboard and Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma. The first is a feature-packed keyboard that leverages Razer’s new cutting-edge Analog Optical Switches, which harness the speed of light for key actuations, while the latter represents the company’s first external dock for users seeking to expand their connectivity options. Razer has also updated its previous Laptop Stand Chroma with a V2 model that offers various USB-C and USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports.
Razer Huntsman V2 Analog Keyboard
“With the introduction of analog input, true full-range directional motion is finally available on PC gaming without a controller,” Razer explained in a press release. “Gamers can now also unlock a whole new dimension of gaming with the ability to fully adjust and program each keystroke down to the millimeter. […] “This finesse removes the limitations of an 8-way WASD movement and allows for a true 360-degree of motion that benefits games optimized for controller support like third-person games, multi-platform shooters, racing games, as well as vehicle simulators.”
