Half and half

Razer loves to put RGB on chairs, masks and pretty much everything else in your bedroom but that’s not what we’re here to talk about. This is about the Razer Huntsman Mini (60% layout) that now comes with analog optical switches. What are those? To simply put, these switches have variable actuation points. That means you can simply tap the key to the bottom to execute a command or also just go halfway down on the key and execute a different command. Feathering the key will also give you joystick-like precision control for WASD movement in FPS and racing games.

Fancy right? Yup. It uses lasers to gauge the actuation point and you can set different commands from the Razer software to tweak and adjust the thing. For example, you can have the F key at half actuation to equip a grenade and at full press throw the grenade.

Aside from the switches you also get a full stack RGB lighting control, onboard memory for up to 5 profile presets and a detachable USB Type-C cable. The keyboard comes with a juicy $150 price tag. Although like most things Razer, the Indian availability in your life is up to your loved ones flying from the US.
