What Keyboard Does AsianJeff Use?

AsianJeff's keyboard history

AsianJeff's history covers 5 periods, 4 switches and 3 different models. The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Black is the thread running through all of it. He started on it in November 2023 and has returned to it 2 times, for a total of 29.2 months (2.4 years) on that model.

The detours were both to SteelSeries. The Apex Pro TKL (2023) lasted 4.1 months, from September 2024 to January 2025. The Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 Black followed from October 2025 and lasted only 1.6 months. Each time he went back to the Huntsman.

His current run on the Huntsman has lasted 10.4 months, and it is the longest single period in his history.

Switches and actuation

The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is sold with Razer Analog Optical switches, and that is its only switch option. The PCB is non-hotswappable, so the switches are not meant to be changed. You pick this board for what it ships with.

The alternatives give you more to choose from. The Wooting 80HE variants are offered with Lekker Linear 45 v2, Lekker Linear 60 v2, Lekker Tikken Light, Lekker Tikken Medium, Geon Raw HE and Wooting x TTC KOM options, on a hotswappable PCB. The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023) uses OmniPoint 2.0 on a non-hotswappable PCB.

Key binds

The Fortnite layout keeps movement and weapon selection close to the left hand. Crouch is on L-Ctrl, jump on Space, and sprint on C. The harvesting tool sits on 1, so the five weapon slots land on 2 through 6.

Building is where the layout stands out. Wall and floor are on F1 and F2, while stairs, roof and trap sit on X, Z and T. Turbo Building is on. Use and Building Edit each have a second input option besides their keyboard key, L-Alt and F. The F-key binds also mean you need a layout that keeps the function row, and a TKL does.

Should you buy AsianJeff's keyboard?

The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL suits players who want a compact, tenkeyless layout that still has the function row. It measures 36.4 cm wide and 14.0 cm long, is 3.9 cm high and weighs 720g. It is a solid, fairly tall board with RGB, and the switches come as Razer Analog Optical only.

The alternatives trade off like this:

• Wooting 80HE Black (8 pros use it now): 70 g heavier, 0.2 cm longer, 1.8 cm narrower and 1.06 cm lower. It is hotswappable and has several Lekker, Geon and TTC switch options.
• Wooting 80HE+ Frost (6 pros use it now): the same size and weight differences as the 80HE Black, with the same hotswappable PCB and switch choices.
• SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023) (4 pros use it now): 0.4 cm shorter and 0.9 cm narrower, at the same height. It uses OmniPoint 2.0 and, like the Huntsman, is non-hotswappable.

If you want a slimmer, narrower board with swappable switches, the Wooting models fit better. If you prefer the Huntsman's height and Razer Analog Optical switches, stay with the Huntsman.
