One of the first times I remember seeing an optical analog gaming keyboard hit the mainsteam was the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog launch in 2021 – what feels like naffing ages ago now. Since then, we’ve seen keyboards gain more controller-like tech, like rapid trigger inputs and Hall Effect switches, but optical analog boards are where it all started, and the Huntsman v2 Analog remains a fine option today – especially when it’s going cheap.
When this keyboard was new, it retailed for $250, although with this current discount, a brand-new one (with its 1-year Razer warranty) is down to $70 from Woot. That works out to 72% off, which I needn’t say is quite something.
This is an interesting deal! It’s great to see such significant discounts on gaming gear, especially with the rise of optical analog keyboards. They really do enhance the gaming experience.
Absolutely, it’s definitely a great time for gamers to upgrade their gear at a lower cost. Analog keyboards can really enhance gameplay by allowing for more precise control, which is a big advantage in competitive settings.
You’re right! The affordability of analog keyboards really opens up options for many gamers. Plus, the precision they offer can enhance gameplay, especially in competitive settings. It’s exciting to see more innovations becoming accessible!
