RazerTartarus Pro - Gaming-Keypad - Gamepad with analogue-optical buttons and Rapid-Trigger mode (32 programmable buttons, customisable trigger point, 8 profiles, Adjustable Actuation) Black

I love these I've used one ever since the Belkin Nostromo, then Razer started to make them changing the name to Tartarus. This little keyboard makes gaming so fast with all the buttons under one hand, I think the build quality has suffered a bit over the years but having said that it's still a sturdy nice looking bit of kit with RGB lights if you want them.

It is honestly Fantastic, customisable, comfortable. If you are one handed keyboard person like myself, you will love this.However, here is what you need to know. It acts a gamepad input and so certain games will think it’s a controller. What does that mean ? Any games that you use a controller for will now have to choose between it and your controller and it can cause issues. Some games will use mouse still but change the keyboard input so you are playing with a weird hybrid split. Basically a bunch of game issues in terms of controls.Never fear you can solve all of this by disabling the in game controller function from its properties. This will cause it to stop functioning as a gamepad and only as a keyboard. This means you loose joystick functionality but can still map everything you need.I didn’t know any of this before buying and thought I had wasted my money. Now it’s all sorted, I would recommend this 100%

The keyboard is responsive and can be customised to mimic any key input. Having multiple keymap slots allows tweaking to suit most games. A few more keys would have been useful to allow play without profile switching. Also the razer synapse 3 software can be a bit glitchy. The keyboard does partially install as an Xbox controller and if you use a controller can take priority in games. This can be solved by removing the Tartarus when not required. It does mimic keyboard input so does not function as a gamepad with unique buttons like a controller would. A bit too expensive if full price is paid. There should be more adjustments on an item of this price to allow it to fit multiple hand sizes and shapes better.

I bought this as I was looking at keypads for years. I hesitated as I thought I was being frivelous, and now that I have splashed on it, I regret not buying it earlier!This keypad has changed to speed at which I can select functions in game (I play Eve online), I believe it gives me an edge as I dont have to look across a keyboard to select a function. This also becomes especially evident when I have to use more than one key binding, such as ctrl + Space.The only thing that I wish I had changed about my order, is having spent extra on the analogue version, which I feel I dont need. However, maybe one day I will work out how to get the best of that feature.Excellent ergonomic feel, no pain in wrist. Easy to program interface and key mapping.Very Highly recommended.

I rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with the Razer Tartarus Pro. Honestly, this is one of the worst gaming peripherals I’ve ever had the misfortune to use.First off, setting it up was an absolute nightmare. The instructions were unclear, and it took far longer than it should have to get it up and running. Once it was finally set up, I was greeted with the disappointing realisation that the experience was just as frustrating as the setup process.The build quality feels cheap and flimsy – certainly not what you’d expect from a brand like Razer. The keys are unresponsive, and the overall feel is very poor. It doesn’t offer the premium experience that the price tag suggests. Every press feels dull, and the feedback is almost nonexistent, making it difficult to type or game effectively.Most frustrating of all, it simply doesn’t add any value. If you already have a decent keyboard, do yourself a favour and stick with it. The Tartarus Pro offers no improvements or unique features that make it worth the investment. In fact, it feels like a downgrade compared to what you probably already have.Overall, I regret purchasing this device. It’s just not worth it. Save your money and look for something better. Razer should be embarrassed by this product.

Worked perfect out of the box, Zero Issues
