Pros: -Ergonomics -Added game functionality within easy reach -Great RGB -Quality, tactile keys Cons: -Noisy keys (sone might like this, personal preference) Amazing device. I have been a keyboard and mouse gamer since the days of Doom and Sim City Classic. I was skeptical for years about these and asked myself, “how would this be different than using the keyboard?” It is… so much better. I have always been the guy that has to remap everything to the arrow keys on a keyboard and the surrounding area. As a result, I also had to either have my wrist at an angle or the keyboard at an angle to reach them. I tried many times over the years to use WASD but the alignment of those keys wasn’t right. My brain needed them to be perfectly aligned like the arrow keys…. And this keypad. Maybe that is why there was almost zero learning curve when I started using this keypad. The keys are all perfectly aligned just like my brain already expected having used the arrow keys for so many years. And now, there’s all these additional keys within easy reach! The only minor learning curve was therefore my thumb. For years it had sat idle while I game. Now I have trained it to operate the buttons on this controller and it has been a game changer. I think the best part though is the ergonomics. Everything feels more comfortable when I game now. I use a CouchMaster that rests on my gaming chair and now when I game my arms are in comfortable positions with the mouse on the right of my keyboard and this keypad on the left. Still handy to have the keyboard accessible for when you need it during gaming but now used rarely for gaming and more for work. The wrist rest is perfect. There’s only two positions for adjustment of it but it works great for me. I went with the Mecha Membrane keys and I really like the feel of them. I will say they are louder than I would usually go for, but I almost always game with headphones so it hasn’t bothered me. I have seen in reviews that people pull out the metal clip to make them more quiet but I like the clips as they aid in the “snap back” feel when you release the key. I didn’t go with the upgraded keys because I didn’t think I would use the additional features that were advertised. Specifically, I don’t think my brain would utilize the concept of having different functions or commands based on how hard you press a key. The RGB is great. I always create game profiles so games have unique lighting that matches the theme or feel of the game. It uses the Synapse software which all Razer users will know is a bit of a love-hate relationship. Super powerful software that lets you control not just the lighting but remap keys. Some games I have specific remaps in this software if the game itself doesn’t let me remap a button I want to. For example, I have the far upper left key remapped to ESC because it’s used in some games but they sometimes won’t let you remap it in the game. All that said, Synapse can be frustrating and unintuitive at times. It has a steep learning curve. I am lucky to have pushed past that curve, but for newcomers to Razer just understand that and be ready to hit YouTube. I would highly recommend this product, especially for keyboard and mouse gamers that are already used to using the arrow keys.

I am loving this thing. I have always been a controller guy until I bought Doom Eternal, and it was obvious from the very first level that this game was made with mouse and keyboard in mind and I decided it was time to make the switch and I'm really glad I did. I stopped playing the game and waited for this to arrive, along with the Corsair Harpoon gaming mouse. It took A LONG time to start feeling comfortable with the new set up but once it started to click it made all the difference in the game. The learning curve for me was huge, maybe the biggest one I've had to go through in decades for gaming, but it was worth it. This keypad is great. I bought this used from a seller here, something I don't normally do but the price was more than half off the new price and I knew it was a gamble that I might not take to it and go back to controller, which would have made this a waste of money. I feel like I got lucky, the used product of this looks brand new and is in great shape, and since it worked out and I ended up loving the keypad it was money well spent. I specifically went with the Tartarus because I really liked the idea of having the thumb stick, and I feel like that was a good move. In Doom Eternal, now I can control the Slayer in a way I'm already familiar with while freeing up the rest of the keyboard and my fingers to the different melee attacks and switching equipment. That way I don't have to move my fingers all over the keyboard as I normally would have had to, fumbling around hoping I hit the right keys. The learning curve was huge for sure and for awhile, I probably put in enough time in the first three levels over and over again trying to get accustomed to the new control style as it would take someone else to actually beat the entire campaign, but once it all clicked, I can't imagine playing a game like this any other way and I already knew from the first level that a controller was a huge disadvantage. In regards to the quality of the actual device- it's solid. The keys all have a great feel and click to them, and the thumb stick has the exact same feel. It feels like pushing a key on the board with the mechanical click and all in every direction, it's great feedback to know you're pushing it in the right direction and for learning how to use it. It's also very comfortable to use, and the wrist rest beneath the keyboard reduces any normal strain I would feel by hovering my hand over a typical keyboard. And lastly if you care, the rgb lighting on this is good and bright and every color in the rainbow is represented just fine. I don't care that much about this, but I know some freaks do so there you go. To summarize, this purchase was worth every penny. The keyboard is solid, it feels solid, it is quality. The thumb stick works great and I really struggle to find anything to complain about here. I can see this falling short on games with tons of keybinds, and Doom Eternal is really pushing it in that regard, but it still worked out great with just enough keys to accommodate all the things you need to do. Purchasing this along with a gaming mouse has changed the way I play a game like this and for the better. Highly recommended, especially if you can get one at the used price I did if it shows up at your door in the condition mine did. On a quick side note I do want to point out that Windows 10 by default had this keypad configured to shut down randomly to preserve power in the device settings. You're going to want to figure out how to go into the USB options and make sure to uncheck the box letting Windows do that because if you don't this will disconnect randomly out of nowhere for like fifteen seconds here and there, and obviously that is not ideal unless you like losing due to some technical crap.

I purchased this because it was one of two keypads I could find with the thumb-pad, with the other being the Logitech in the ~$500 price range. It does what I want it to do however I have some complaints: 1. It is incredibly loud. I like the feel of the keys, but the clicking is excessive. Luckily I game with a headset, and my office is closed from the rest of the house. However, if those weren't the case, I'd be losing my mind. 2. The spacebar (20 button) gets stuck fairly often. It doesn't get stuck so far that it's double clicking, but it does not return to the full and upright position. 3. The included CHROMA app interferes with the Synapse app. I don't understand why, but if you want the controller to change profiles per game (Which is a big selling point on the keyboard) then you have to disable the Chroma app. That took me way longer to figure out than it should have. Pros: 1. The keys feel good. 2. The weight of the pad is enough that it doesn't get pushed around when I don't want it to. 3. The colors are nice, and being able to change colors and program keys (and MACROS) per game is amazing. I have my computer, mouse, and keyboard all match colors per game as a quick visual reference to ensure that they're all on the same program. 4. The adjustable hand rest is good for comfort. 5. Plenty of length for the USB wire, you could use this from across the room! 6. It feels responsive. I'm not a serious competitive gamer by any stretch, but other than the spacebar key (20) getting stuck, I feel like it responds quickly and beautifully.

(geschrieben von meinem Mann nach 6 Monaten Gebrauch bei Schadensfall ) Das kompakte Design ist gut für längeres Spielen. Die unterste Tastenreihe ist nicht gut erreichbar. Die Tasten haben nach meinem Empfinden einen langen Weg bis zum Druckpunkt. Beim Tastendruck entsteht ein deutlich hörbares Geräusch, ich finde es laut. Die Beleuchtung ist mMn. Unsinn und störend. Aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache. Weil es hin und wieder bei Berührung aufleuchtet, wenn ich es nicht spiele, habe ich es oft abgezogen. Die Software zum Konfigurieren finde ich sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Manche Begriffllichkeiten erschließen sich mir nicht. Treiber und Software laufen zuverlässig und machen keinerlei Probleme im Betrieb (Windows 10). Das Handbuch zum Pad (PDF) ist leider für mich an vielen Stellen zu oberflächlich. Die angepriesenen "Mecha-Membranentasten" scheinen aber normalem Spielbetrieb nicht stand zu halten. Ein Bekannter der sein Pad fast zeitgleich kaufte, hatte es bereits wegen einer toten Taste in Garantie. Bei mir ist jetzt nach 6 Monaten ebenfalls eine Taste am Daumenjoystick funktionslos (tot). Von anderen Kunden habe ich die gleiche Problematik auch schon gelesen, sogar hier in einer Rezi. Ich rechne damit, dass auf mein Pad ganz knapp aus der Garantie raus ist, wie bei einem Kunden hier. In dem Fall werde ich kein Pad mehr von Razer kaufen, obwohl ich mich gut an das Gerät und die Software gewöhnt habe. Bewertung mit nur einem Stern, weil: Ich meine, bei einem schon recht beachtlichen Preis für nur 20 Tasten und einen Daumenstick - im Vergleich zu einer vollständigen gaming-Tastatur - ist die gebotene Qualität zu schlecht, für meine Ansprüche. 6 Monate Lebensdauer für ein Gaming-Produkt ist zu wenig. Mein vorheriges Gamepad eines anderen Herstellers hatte immerhin um 4 Jahre gehalten und war im Preis günstiger. Nur weil es nicht mehr hergestellt wird und Razer überall positiv dargestellt wurde, habe ich mich zum Kauf entschieden. Die Entscheidung war für mich nicht positiv.

El teclado se siente un tanto ligero pero no deja de ser robusto. Funcionalidad: - Las funciones que se pueden asignar a las teclas son bastantes y funcionan de manera correcta. - El poder tener diferentes perfiles con las teclas personalizadas de diferentes formas ayuda demasiado y siento que es el punto fuerte del producto; hasta el momento yo tengo un perfil para programar, otro para diseño en illustrator (si lo juntas con un digitalizador con pluma es una barbaridad la mejora del trabajo), un perfil lo tengo para gaming. COMODIDAD: El producto es cómodo de usar, tiene una almohadilla para reposar la muñeca y junto con el diseño dan un buen soporte a la mano. En mi caso, el teclado es un poco grande para el tamaño de mis manos por lo que alcanzar los botones de la fila superior me es complicado; sin embargo, el acceso a las demás filas de botones es bueno. Los botones se sienten bien al dar click. EXTRAS: La personalización de los efectos de luz es buena en cuanto a hay demasiados colores y esquemas de movimiento para usar, sin embargo, cuando comfiguras teclas con diferentes colores, la luz de estas se mezcal y no es tan fácil diferenciar el color. El cable es se siente de buena calidad, tiene un largo bueno para uso en escritorio y soporta bien los dobleces.

Excelente teclado, já tive o Orbweaver Chroma e comprei esse para usar como meu notebook, muito confortável e valeu muito a pena.

Well I find it the nest way to not have to use the keyboard just love it
