I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Summarizing everything written above, in my case, Tartarus v2 could have been dispensed with. In shooters and MMOs, its functionality would be enough. option, I overpaid a little for something that I'm unlikely to use.

Pros
  • 1. The build quality is good - it does not creak or play. 2. Variability of settings thanks to Synapse - as always on top. 3. Removable stick on the cross. The solution is simple, but VERY convenient. 4. Excellent ergonomics, starting from a slight slope to the left side, to a customizable two-position stop, will fit any hand. Otherwise, the main thing is to survive the initial discomfort from addiction, and even an "uncomfortable" gap for 2-3 days will be perceived quite normally. 5. Analog buttons, due to which you can emulate sticks from a joypad.
Cons
  • 1. If you are accustomed to strongly rest against the base of the palm, the "nose" of the device will lift up 1-2 mm from the table (my table top is flat "into the mirror"). on the heel of the device to avoid this. Razer, what's the matter? Have you regretted a piece of gum on an extra leg? 2. The use of double binds on the buttons is not very usable. Either the skis are hacky or I am gifted, but every time when using double binds, the first bind works first, followed by the second. If it was originally intended, then I don’t see the usability of such a solution. So you have to use hypershift for double binds. 3. The pressing force, subjectively, is MUCH higher when compared with the tactile purple switches from Rather. At first, during the evening, at least, it was not possible to get used to it, the fingers were noticeably tired in a couple of hours. After a week, they are perceived normally. 4. The stick on the cross is bare plastic, which is why the finger doesn’t “touch” it. Because of which, with a “cotton” pressing force, if you play with headphones (you don’t hear the click), you don’t tactilely understand whether you squeezed it or no. You will have to sculpt a flu on it. In a device for 9-10K, this is a directly offensive drawback. 5. The lack of engraving on the caps - at first it will be VERY difficult to get used to. In principle, it is solved by putting on high-profile or custom caps on the necessary buttons. informative.

Didn't quite buy it well, had a little trouble using it.

By the appearance of the device, it may seem that they paid great attention to ergonomics and everything is super convenient, it will immediately fall into your hand and it will be wow. But the reality is completely opposite - the keyboard was made from the point of view of ergonomics . there are no censorship words. I've been using it for a week and have yet to get used to it. Very insecure play with the top row of buttons, not great with all the others. I'm thinking of putting on other…

Pros
  • Good customization in the software - you can set up many different binds, I needed to move the mouse and it can be done. The backlight can be adjusted very flexibly. Overall tactile quality - approx. There is no feeling of absolutely and Chinese. The presence of an additional wheel and a cross (which partially solves the problems of the original ergonomics).
Cons
  • What you do not expect in any way - ergonomics is just a bottom and a shame. It is not clear under what hand it was designed. The upper block of the key is categorically inconvenient to press, the "space" - in principle, it is not clear for which mutant this was done. Wrist rest - yes, it has two positions. Both are uncomfortable. It would have been better without the stand. There is only one risk on the "S" key (number 13) - all the rest are tactilely the same, it did not work out for the first week, despite the fact that the block itself is located non-standard. On trifles - there is no memory (Karl!) You must always keep the Razer softocombine in autoload.

Disappointed with the product, not good for anything.

As long as the online trade did not bother to warn about the incompatibility of this device with Apple technology (which had not happened to me before, as multiple raiser devices work fine on my macbook pro), the device was not used at all and there was an immediate attempt to return it. After a month of waiting and incomprehensible checks, the online trade said that they would not return the money to me because parts of different colors, but then why are you selling this to people and why…

Pros
  • Do not know
Cons
  • Not suitable for Mac and it was not written anywhere at all . Case parts of different colors, which is why the seller himself does not want his goods back, but why online trade. Ru and sell this? Very interesting The product is not of good quality and the money was not returned

an interesting product that is not suitable for everyone, the price tag is not small, but there are many jambs and controversial decisions. -takes time to get used to- at first I was upset with the purchase, suffered a little, got used to it and now I enjoy using it.

Pros
  • analog keys are a really cool topic, but alas, there are few games where this can be implemented normally, there are many where there is a keyboard-mouse / gamepad conflict. deep customization of everything and everyone.
Cons
  • the space button is very inconveniently located, it would be much more convenient if it was at the place where profiles were switched. there are not enough settings for the size of the hand, it would be cool if the fixation was floating, and not just two positions. slides across the table.

The right product for me, the price suited me.

I did not feel any special WAW effect compared to a regular keyboard. Well, yes, a little more convenient, a little nicer, there is more space for a rug on the table. The main disadvantage is the space bar, which is installed just disgustingly not convenient for pressing with your thumb, and is not yet regulated in any way. The joystick button is the second minus - slippery and not comfortable, I had to remove it. The wrist pad is comfortable and has 2 fixed positions. In the photo, I moved it…

Pros
  • Saves desk space Each button is programmable
Cons
  • The price is clearly too high Space bar and joystick are not convenient

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I took it in addition to a 60% keyboard and it turned out not bad at all. I set up a numpad on it, and in games wasd and so on. Pretty comfortable in general. But the profiles are regularly buggy, which cannot but infuriate. After some time, I noticed some kind of unevenness on the palm rest, ran my fingernail and gobbled up some of the paint . Why it was necessary to paint white plastic with white (which turns yellow) paint, I absolutely cannot understand. Considering that the device itself is

Pros
  • Unusual but comfortable hand placement
Cons
  • Less than a month later, the paint began to fall off from the arm support

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

Some pros: Quiet, comfortable! I was surprised by the function of 2 options for one key from the pressing force - just the top for all the jokers. Got cons: Try it in advance on your hand, I got used to the 20th key (space) for 10 hours.

Excellent product, the best quality.

I use it as planned - paired with a graphics tablet. I use Autodesk inventor (professional), lightroom, photoshop in programs. Until I continued editing and making graphics in AE and Davinci with C4D. But I dare to say that my hands will find there what can be assigned to the keys. More than satisfied with the purchase. Brings to the highest speed the processes of modeling, processing and use inside the PC. I recommend it to those who find a use for it.

Pros
  • Quality product The accompanying setup and visualization utility is very cool and comfortable. Works without bugs and freezes. All settings are flexible. Color white - not yet yellow, but dust is not visible
Cons
  • The wire could be made removable or a bluetooth version

Keep in mind that it will take some getting used to. Before that, I used a keypad from Baseus - it cannot be compared. After a couple of days of training, you will be able to replace the main keyboard with this keypad by 90%, with the exception of typing. In games All in all, this is a typical Razer product. Excellent quality, full support for macros / settings, etc. in a proprietary application. If you already have a keyboard / mouse from this company, then you already roughly imagine the…

Pros
  • The ergonomics are great. There are two positions for large and small hands (I have a medium hand, a large position is just right for me. Perhaps people with very long fingers will not be comfortable even this way). All buttons are located so that you can easily reach without straining your hand. I really like the arrows on the side (the joystick is removable, I removed it right away). Adds as many as four programmable thumb buttons, for a total of 24 keys for one hand. The switches are pleasant, laser controllers that can be very finely tuned to suit every taste.
Cons
  • Not the most convenient place for the wheel, in fact I don’t use it. Switches are heavy. There are hard springs, and you need to apply a lot of weight (tighter than cherry mx black). Not suitable for everyone. There is no built-in profile memory (as on the Basilisk mouse), so you need to use the application to pull up the saved settings on another computer.

A good product, more pros than cons.

A rather specific device, I have long wanted to try it for playing on a laptop. But it is not entirely clear who it is for, if for use with a PC, then the difference with a good mechanical keyboard with a palmrest is minimal. If for use with a laptop, then the non-removable long cable is a huge minus, 30 cm would be enough. Before buying, it is better to try in the store. Do not hope that everything will be perfect right away, you will have to get used to it, at first the hand will get tired or

Pros
  • Good materials, linear rather tight and smooth switches, beautiful lighting, soft pad for the brush, gamepad emulation, full programmability.
Cons
  • 20 button (space), it is located very inconveniently, it is extremely difficult to use in games, the keypad has only 2 adjustments for people with hands less than 17 cm, it seems to me that it will not work at all, only 8 profiles can be configured, the device does not have its own memory, even for backlighting, non detachable cable.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Excellent keypad, I bought it to replace the Chinese mechanics, as the sound of the keys annoyed my wife: D I have never regretted it, although the number of keys is less than in the one that was, but using the mode with dual functions is just a thrill. Clicked on 1 - by default - Esc; hold down the special key + 1 -> get 5. Everything is configured as it is convenient, you can bind keyboard shortcuts, all sorts of additional functions. There are function assignments depending on the level of…

Pros
  • - Quiet mechanics - Smooth running - Dual keys mode - Wheel
Cons
  • - Adjustment of the distance to the buttons - Small D-pad move

It has some flaws but the product is usable.

For 8+ thousand wooden ones, an extremely controversial decision turned out. For people who are looking for a convenient "stub" for games, I would recommend looking towards the A4 Tech X7-G100 for 990, or REDRAGON DITI on red switches. Pros: 1) EVERYTHING up to a single key can be programmed to suit your needs. 2) Quality materials. 2) Very nice leather stand. 3) Ergonomics of the position of the hand - at a height. The brush does not get tired during the day of work. 4) Good assembly: nothing

There is a soft pad under the palm, I don’t know what it’s holding on to, but the old Orbweaver keypad went to the landfill due to the fact that its rubber pads began to move out, because the glue began to spread, squeeze out from under the pads and dirty the hand, the table and the device itself. I hope Tartarus will not have such problems. With its pros: The switches are pleasantly clicky, fast, tactile; adjustable backlight (who cares)); hand is comfortable. Has cons: Wheel. There used to be
