Razer refreshes its one-handed keyboard
The Tartarus V2 Pro is an ergonomic gaming device with over 30 programmable keys and an adjustable palm rest. It's designed for one-handed play, not traditional typing.
Better switches and analog thumbpad
The V2 Pro upgrades to improved optical switches with a wider actuation range. The thumbpad is now an analog TMR design for more precise control.
Snap Flex combines two keys into one
A new feature called Snap Flex lets players attach two keys to a single button press, making complex multi-key actions easier to execute consistently.
Snap Tap prevents accidental double presses
Snap Tap ensures two selected keys never activate simultaneously. This helps FPS players strafe without accidentally pressing opposite directions at once.
“It ensures that two selected keys are never actuated at the same time.”
Fully customizable with RGB lighting
All 31 keys are programmable via Razer's Synapse software. Each key includes RGB lighting for custom aesthetics. The device costs $200 and is available now.
