The Razer Huntsman Mini Analog is the ideal keyboard for gamers with limited desk space, or anyone who wants a typing and gaming tool they can take with them on the go. Despite its small size, it doesnβt compromise on style (with cool black and white designs) and can slotΒ nicely into almost any space. Moreover, despite its 60% layout, itΒ remains a very viable gaming keyboard.
What we love about the Razer Huntsman Mini wired gaming keyboard is that, like all the best mini keyboards, it offers programmable keys with low latency. Itβs essentially a miniature version of the larger Huntsman model, which sits at the top of ourΒ best gaming keyboard list. Itβs already one of the more affordable keyboard options, and this 40% discount fromΒ Razer chops an extra $70 / Β£70 off the price.
So what sets it apart from other mini gaming keyboards? Well, the addition ofΒ Razerβs optical analog key switchesΒ (not seen in older models) givesΒ the keyboard higher levels of precision and control. Meanwhile, not only is there RGB backlighting for every individual key, but theyβre all macro-programmable too.
If youβve been using the original Razer Huntsman Mini for a while now, this could be a good time to upgrade. While the overall changes are relatively minor, the addition of analog switches make a big difference. Being able to scale the levels of input so that itβs not just registering a keypress, but responding to the extent to which you press it, has loads of applications in shooters, simulation games, and more. Crucially, the technology can be used to provide rapid trigger response and even allow for two different functions to be triggered by the same key.
