Razer Kraken V3 Pro

Incredibly well-built ; Powerful and versatile key switches ; Synapse 3 offers lots of customisation

Expensive ; Wrist rest isn’t as plush as its predecessor

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is a class-leading gaming keyboard. It’s especially well made, comes with some of the most powerful and versatile key switches available on a gaming keyboard today, and offers vibrant RGB lighting. While expensive, it...

Incredible level of customization ; Quick on-board adjustments ; Solid design

Expensive ; Weak magnet on shallow wrist rest ; Slightly buggy software

The Huntsman Pro is an impressive and high-quality gaming keyboard with a vast array of customizable features – but its extreme level of key customization, and the ability to reduce the actuation point down to a super-sensitive 0.1mm, means it’s more...

Excellent typing experience ; Customizable actuation and Rapid Trigger Mode ; Solid build quality ; Highly programmable

Razer Synapse is still bulky ; Gamepad support is game-dependent ; Keys are too shallow for a great gamepad experience

Thanks to customizable actuation, rapid trigger, and simulated gamepad support, Razer’s Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is an excellent alternative to the venerable (and perpetually backordered) Wooting 60HE.

Premium build quality with steel reinforced headband.

The microphone is not great for the £200 price point.

This headset offers immersive audio like I’ve never experienced before, THX Spatial sound paired with HyperSense Technology (Haptics) is another level of enjoyment when it comes to gaming, watching movies or whatever you want to use this headset for....

Full, well-balanced sound ; Clear microphone ; Good simulated surround sound with THX Spatial Audio ; Comfortable fit

HyperSense haptic feedback throws off the audio balance and direction sense, and feels uncomfortable ; Lacks Bluetooth

Although its HyperSense force feedback is an acquired taste at best, the Razer Kraken V3 Pro is an excellent wireless headset for gaming or listening to music.

Durable keycaps ; Adjustable actuation ; Tons of additional features ; Great type feel ; Comfortable palmrest

Finicky software ; Up to $249 for the full version

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL’s comfortable magnetic leatherette palmrest, useful features for competitive gaming, and satisfying type feel bring it to the brink of excellence, but finicky software and a high price point will turn some away.

Well-built and decently comfortable. 10-band graphic EQ and presets via companion software. Boom mic has good overall performance. Cuts down mid-range noise.

Doesn't block out bass-range noise. No call or music management controls. Disappointing passive soundstage. Bulky design with mediocre stability.

The Razer Kraken V3 Pro are good for neutral sound. Out of the box and with their haptic bass set to 'Low', they have a slightly v-shaped sound profile that adds extra boom to mixes. Vocals and lead instruments are also bright and sparkly. While you...

+ Wireless ; + Lightweight materials ; + Comfortable ear cup design ; + Detachable Mic ; + THX Spatial ; + Wide range of compatibility

- Pricey for the addition of wireless and haptic feedback Hypersense feature ; - Left ear cup is cluttered ; - Can’t charge and use at the same time

The Razer Kraken V3 Pro is the best of the bunch, retaining everything that made previous models great and improving on what held other models back. But the price may not be worth the additional features for some.

High-quality sound ; Robust customization options ; Compatible with many systems

Divisive haptic feedback ; So-so music performance ; Expensive

If you’re sold on the idea of haptic headsets, the Kraken V3 Pro is a capable peripheral that works well on a variety of systems. But if you don’t want your head to buzz, there are better options.
