![]() ![]() The only question is do you really need it for your gaming and/or work-related needs? Despite its flaws, this is the best gaming keypad you can find. ![]() Also, this model is quite expensive and while the new optical keys provide lots of cool features in theory, in reality, those features are mostly gimmicks you won’t use while gaming. On the other side, this gaming keypad might be too small for people with large hands and too large for people with smaller hands. It features twenty fully programmable keys, supports macros, can use a different profile for each game you play, includes these cool analog switches, it has a sturdy build quality, and it looks rather nice. Overall, the Razer Tartarus Pro is a great gaming keypad. ![]() It’s pretty powerful and handy but the keypad doesn’t include its own memory meaning that every profile you create will be accessible only on the PC where it has been created. The keypad comes with the Razer Synapse software, which supports creating macros, adjusting the actuation point of each key, saving control profiles for individual games, setting different RGB effects, and so on. This can be pretty handy since these optical keys emulate triggers and joysticks on controllers. Thus, when you slightly press a key your character will walk (like when holding W+Caps Lock in some games) and when you fully press the key your character will run (like only pressing W key). For instance, the first point could be used for walking and the second for running. You can map different controls to the primary and secondary actuation point. They have a very fast response time and also include two actuation points. For instance, in a racing game, you can control how hard you’ve pressed a key and thus control the speed of the car, like when playing a racing game on a controller and using the right trigger as the gas pedal. They use lasers to read key travel, allowing them to behave like analog inputs. Switches used on the keys are analog optical switches. Each key is relatively easily accessible, even the awkwardly placed key number 20. This is great for MMO players since they can map every spell on this keypad. It isn’t too tacky, like many other gaming peripherals, and it gives this keypad a certain amount of coolness without going over the top.Īs we’ve already said the twenty programmable keys can have any function you want. There’s also the 20th key that can be found on the lower righthand side, below the D-pad. You also get nineteen fully customizable keys, labeled with numbers from 1 to 19. The design includes stuff like wrist and thumb rests along with a D-pad and a scroll wheel. Everything feels sturdy, plastic is rugged, and keys feel nice under your fingers. First of all, before we start talking about features, let’s cover build quality and design. The Razer Tartarus Pro is an upgrade of the company’s Razer Tartarus V2 gaming keypad that includes one major and multiple smaller updates. ![]()
