What are the latest advanced features that are carried Razer Huntsman V2 Analog, see the following review.

Razer Analog Optical Switches

Analog Optical Switch is not only a breakthrough in keyboard switch technology, it is also designed for a different gaming experience. This unique innovation is combined with three components, namely: analog input, adjustable actuation, and dual-step actuation.
• Analog Inputs: Analog inputs provide a smooth analog joystick-like input experience, with more nuanced and varied controls. This removes the limitations of the 8-way WASD movement and provides an optimized 360-degree movement experience for games that support controllers such as third-person games, multi-platform shooters, racing games, and vehicle simulators.
• Adjustable Actuation: Players can adjust the actuation points of each keyboard key to suit various playing styles; from 1.5mm low actuation to 3.6mm full actuation.
• Dual-step Actuation: With dual-step actuation, a single keystroke of the keyboard can activate two different functions programmed at two different actuation points. This feature duplicates the function of each keyboard keystroke and is perfect for activating advanced combos in games – for example, picking up a grenade and throwing it at the same keystroke.

“We are constantly innovating at the forefront of switch technology in gaming keyboards. Through repeated testing and research with our community, we have designed the latest switches that can open up new experiences in the gaming experience,” he said. Alvin Cheung, Razer’s Senior Vice President for Peripherals.

Born from the acclaimed Razer Optical Switch, Analog Optical Switches also utilize the speed of light to actuate each keyboard key. The Razer Analog Optical Switch tracks how much light passes through the switch and allows the keyboard to measure how deeply each key is pressed.

“With Razer’s latest Analog Optical Switch technology, players can now experience the full potential of PC gaming and experience never-before-seen experiences,” continued Alvin Cheung.

Unlike traditional mechanical switches, these switches require fewer components and no metal contacts at all, only light. With no contact when pressing, this switch can withstand up to 100 million keystrokes.

Quality Improvement with Community

As the latest edition of the Huntsman series, the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog delivers an update based on opinions from the Huntsman Elite community, while retaining the fan-favorite form factor and media buttons and digital dial.
Due to high demand, doubleshot PBT keycaps have been added to allow the Razer Hunstman V2 Analog to have more robust and textured keycaps and a lower row that conforms to the standard mechanical keyboard for more flexibility in customization. Razer uses a doubleshot plastic mold to produce a keycap that is more durable than the ABS plastic usually found on other keyboards.

Doubleshot PBT keycaps will also be available on several keyboard layouts, such as English, German, French, Nordic, Russian, Spanish, and Japanese. Razer also offers additional personalization with the PBT Keycap Upgrade Sets sold separately in Classic Black, Quartz Pink, Mercury White or Razer Green color options.
The Huntsman V2 Analog keyboard also features connectivity enhancements. For added functionality and convenience, the keyboard is powered by a single braided cable, with an optional second cable allowing USB 3.0 passthrough. Users also have the option to choose between USB Type-C or USB 3.0 Type-A via the supplied adapter.

Games with Chroma Integration

The Huntsman V2 Analog is perfect for ultimate RGB Chroma battle station. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, this keyboard gives off a brilliant glow with underglow lighting on each side – including around the now bezel-less Magnetic Plush Leatherette Wrist Rest.
Players can customize a variety of light effects with a choice of up to 16.8 million colors via the Razer Synapse 3 software. Razer Chroma’s in-game light effects can also be integrated into popular games with dynamic effects that react to gameplay and much more.

Razer Chroma can be connected to other devices for a more immersive visual experience. Razer Huntsman V2 Analog users can also integrate this keyboard with other Razer products that support Razer Chroma features and even sync this keyboard with smart lighting at home via Philips Hue® via Razer Chroma.
