Razer launches Huntsman V2 Analog with new Analog Optical switches

Today, Razer is launching the Huntsman V2 Analog, a new keyboard with Razer's brand new Analog Optical keyboard switches. With the introduction of analogue input, true full-range directional motion can be achieved on PC. Users can also adjust and program each keystroke down to the millimetre. 

These Analog Optical switches have three core features. The first is obviously analogue input, with emulates an analogue joystick for smoother, nuanced control. Essentially, this means PC gamers will no longer be bound by binary WASD movement. Adjustable actuation is another key component here, as users can tune and adjust each key's actuation point from 1.5mm to a full 3.6mm keystroke. Finally, there is also dual-step actuation, so one keystroke can activate two programmed functions at once by setting functions to two different actuation points.

Here is the full list of Razer Huntsman V2 Analog specs and features:

  • Razer Analog Optical Switches
  • 100 million keystroke lifespan
  • Razer Chroma™ RGB customizable backlighting with 16.8 million colour options
  • Razer Doubleshot PBT Keycaps

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
