This is my review of the Razer Tartarus Pro RGB optical mechanical keypad. This is a surprise as somebody that gave up on this concept a long time ago. I was genuinely surprised with its usefulness and the potential that it has. In other words, it is way more useful than I thought. Enjoy!

This is perfect for anyone (like me) that hates using WASD for navigation, but still wants keyboard control - much better than a console style controller

surprised people dont talk about its non gaming use cases more often. I work in data analysis with one of these things and having a dedicated second keyboard for work macros in R and SQL is a gamechanger.

@wanderlotstravel 9 ай бұрын

That's what I'm looking into it for. I work in Excel all day, copying, pasting, renaming files, etc. My MX Master mouse is super helpful, but my right thumb wears out. I need to give my left hand some of the work load. Lol

Hey, sorry to bother you after so long, i was going to buy a razer tartarus, and i am algo getting into data, i wanted to ask you, about your keybinds, or what macros do you thin are the most important, and i do not have much practical experience, i still need to find what works best for me, but i would be interested to know what others use it for.

@ErasedPNG 8 ай бұрын

This is the exact reason why I'm buying this. Aside from being a software developer, I personally use a ton of macros even in my daily casual use. I'm running out of numpad.

@ErasedPNG 8 ай бұрын

@@principal-videojuegos6666Everyone works differently, I'm sure you can figure out yourself once you start doing more work because then you'll realize what task you do often and you can macro that. Also do try to explore into PowerToys (Windows), Elgato Stream Deck app (Android), and AutoHotkey as well because you might not need to spend so much yet as those software can help in terms of macro and keybinds. Me personally, even I have rebounded my normal keys such as Caps Lock (because I never used caps lock) into something like F13. I can then use that key to bind to trigger something else as it's a key with no function these days.

I got the V2. The clicky membrane keys are alright. My main board has Kailh Box Navy. My main complain with the design is that it's a big too large for my hands, I have trouble reaching the top row and the spacebar button. Otherwise it's a fine successor to the Belkin n52 Nostromo - Same design for the most part since the acquisition.

move it all a row down,so 18 is down button. and you can rearrange buttons and turn them around so you get more edges for better feel.and saw of the top right part of the hand rest so you get better scroll wheel aces

i was under the impression that the entire point of this product was to more or less "add" more keys to your games, so you have it sit next to your flight stick or to the left of your keyboard for games that have 2500 keybinds like star citizen and arma for example.

I think what they have to work on is the clickiness of the buttons I would like almost no noise. I mean i think thats the one thing i dont like about this device and also the movement stick if you can call it that i would rather have a real joy stick so you can do eight directionational movement. but other than that i do like these pads

tactical feature don't related to the optical keys, but to the type of switches. I have a meck keyboard with optical brown switches which have tactical feeling on it. but same optical RED switches will not have the same feel, will be more linear

I used a Logitech G13 for years, and it's finally starting to fail me a bit due to age. I was waiting for a long time for Logitech to come through with a new model, but nothing yet. I am looking that this one for a replacement. I've gotten too used to gameboards to go back to using the keyboard. I may get this for myself as a Christmas present, i hope it serves me well 🙂

would have been a good demonstration if you would shown more than three knuckles worth of the device.. I got more on wall mounting my controllers than usage of how your hand works on the device. IT looks like the pad is bouncing.. too bad you did not actually how how you used it.

Razer keyboards are built broken with the key spamming issues across the fleet. Synapse is clumsy and inefficient. Try to set a key to Toggle. It'll take 2 macros and requires 2 keys to maybe function. Logitech Gaming Software accomplished this by placing a check in a box and using only a single key. Man, I miss my Logitech G13.

@Boby9333 Жыл бұрын

@@AylaMeo I just wish more company would do gaming keypad so razer would have competition in that department. Honestly I feel the thumb area is best suited for a glorified spacebar button, a D-pad (because I don't think anyone is precise enough for the speudo joystic with 8 button we have) and a shift/profile button. My hand is on the smaller end but I could benefit from having an other column at the left.
