Razer Huntsman Mini Analog keyboard provides more control

Razer’s latest peripheral is the Huntsman Mini Analog, the brand’s first 60% gaming keyboard with Analog Optical Switches. This gives the keyboard a focus not only on size, but also on precision, high performance, and portability.

The Razer Huntsman Mini Analog includes the brand’s own Analog Optical Switches as a highlight feature, giving users more control over sensitivity presets when gaming. They can also set the keyboard to double keymapping for digital and analog inputs, which is ideal for steering in racing games, Razer notes.

Design-wise, the Razer Huntsman Mini Analog features Doubleshot PBT keycaps with a textured finish, as well as the brand’s own Chroma RGB backlighting under the keyboard. Its body is made of aluminum for durability, and it includes a detachable USB-C cable for easy portability.

Razer says the Huntsman Mini Analog is a great option for LAN gaming, as well as those interested in a minimalist set-up or who might not have a large space. The Huntsman Mini is essentially 60% the size of a full-sized gaming keyboard.

While there are older models of the Huntsman Mini Analog 60% gaming keyboard, one of the best comparisons to this new peripheral would likely be the Razer Huntsman V2. It’s a full-sized gaming keyboard, but it has the Analog Optical Switches that we now see on the current Huntsman Mini Analog. Its original $250 sale price is also significantly more expensive than the Huntsman Mini Analog’s price.

The Razer Huntsman Mini Analog is now available for $150.

It is becoming common to see features from premium lines make their way down to more entry-level products at cheaper price points. We saw that recently in gaming laptops, with Lenovo introducing its lower-cost IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptops with the design, venting, and cooling features typically found in its premium Legion brand gaming laptops.

The Razer Huntsman Mini Analog is now available for $150 at Razer.com, as well at RazerStore locations globally and through authorized retailers.

The Razer Huntsman Mini convinced me of the joys of tiny keyboards
razer hunstman mini review dsc00994

When it comes to PC gaming, I’m the type who likes a big, full-size keyboard with a numpad. Extra buttons are a bonus. That's why Razer's new Hunstman Mini, the company's first 60% keyboard, didn't fit my preferences at first blush.

The Hunstman Mini isn't just a tenkeyless keyboard, which lacks a numpad. Razer's Hunstman Tournament Edition has that covered. The Hunstman Mini takes things a step further by hacking off a number of keys you might consider essential, such as the home, delete, and arrow keys, and your entire function row.

This simple app was a surprising upgrade to my gaming PC
The Digital Trends website on the KTC G42P5.

You've been there before. You boot up a game for the first time, click through the various engine and publisher screens, and arrive on the main menu. And just like that, your ears get blasted with music and you have to quickly minimize the game in a flash-bang fog to adjust your system volume down. Well, I have good news as I've discovered an app that makes adjusting your volume much easier.

It's called JustScroll, and it does exactly what the name suggests. You just use your mouse wheel to adjust the volume on your PC. It's a simple, ingenious piece of kit, and although it's not strictly necessary, it's been a huge convenience in terms my gaming PC.
