Razer’s new limited-edition Huntsman keyboard offers you a premium build at an equally premium price
After launching the resurrected Boomslang mouse earlier this month, Razer is back with another limited-edition release. The company has unveiled the Huntsman Signature Edition, a premium tenkeyless mechanical keyboard that sits at the top of its Huntsman lineup. While not as outrageously priced as the Boomslang mouse, it still carries a hefty $499.99 price tag and will be sold in a limited run of just 1,337 units directly through Razer.
What sets the Huntsman Signature Edition apart is its build. Instead of featuring a plastic chassis like other Huntsman models, Razer has crafted this keyboard from CNC-milled anodized aluminum, giving it a more solid, premium feel. A mirror-finished back and a metallic snake keycap enhance the aesthetic, while foam and rubber dampening materials on the inside deliver a more satisfying, rounded typing sound and improved key feel.
Performance-wise, the keyboard is not entirely different from the Huntsman V3 Pro, featuring Razer’s second-gen analog optical key switches, a Rapid Trigger Mode, and an ultra-high 8,000Hz polling rate for near-instant input. Key actuation is adjustable from 0.1mm to 4mm, letting users fine-tune the feel for gaming or typing. The keyboard also includes full RGB lighting, on-the-fly macro recording, and supports both Mac and PC with a physical toggle to switch between the two systems.
The Huntsman Signature Edition only offers wired connectivity over USB-C and will go on sale through Razer’s website at 8 AM PT on February 22. In the box, you’ll get a vegan leather signature box, a vegan leather sound-dampening mat, a cleaning cloth, a keycap puller, additional keycaps, and a USB-A to USB-C Speedflex cable. Given how quickly the Boomslang pre-order sold out, you’ll need to act fast to get your hands on this premium mechanical keyboard.
