What Keyboard Does Skz Use?

Switches and actuation

The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is a tenkeyless board, so the numpad is gone and the layout stays compact. The model is sold with Razer Analog Optical switches, and that is the only switch option listed for it. If you buy this exact board, there is no switch menu to work through.

The PCB is non-hotswappable, so the switches are not meant to be pulled out and replaced. Whatever the board ships with is what you live with. The 8KHz in the name marks this as the 8KHz version of the TKL.

Key binds

The bind table shows a fairly standard VALORANT layout. Movement stays on the usual keys: Shift to walk, Ctrl to crouch and Space to jump. Weapon slots sit on the number row, with the spike on 4.

The four ability binds are C, Q, E and X (ultimate), all on the left side of the board. Use Object is on F.

Should you buy Skz's keyboard?

The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL suits anyone who wants a tenkeyless board with a full-size feel. It is a heavy, tall board, and the table above has the exact numbers. The trade-off is that the PCB is non-hotswappable, so you cannot swap switches later.

There are three alternatives to weigh against it:

• Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Black: the same size, weight and switches as Skz's board. 5 pros are using it now.
• Wooting 80HE Black: 70 g heavier, 0.2 cm longer, 1.8 cm narrower and 1.06 cm lower. It is hotswappable and offers six switch options: Lekker Linear 45 v2, Lekker Linear 60 v2, Lekker Tikken Light, Lekker Tikken Medium, Geon Raw HE and Wooting x TTC KOM. 8 pros are using it now.
• Wooting 80HE+ Frost: the same dimensions and switch options as the 80HE Black. 6 pros are using it now.

If you want a lower board with the option to change switches, the Wooting models are the better fit. If you just want the same board as Skz, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is the one to get. The Black version has identical dimensions and the same switches.
