Razer has expanded its one-handed gaming lineup with the Tartarus V2 Pro, a device that bridges the gap between traditional mechanical keyboards and game controllers. This hybrid approach matters because it offers PC gamers a compact form factor with the precision and speed typically reserved for larger peripherals. Buyers who prioritize desk space and rapid input response should take note of this new configuration.
Hybrid keypad features analog optical switches and adjustable actuation
The Tartarus V2 Pro functions as a single-handed keypad designed for intense gaming sessions. It houses 31 programmable controls, split between 24 keys and seven thumb buttons. The 24 keys utilize Razer's second-generation analog optical switches to register inputs. A full-sized Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) thumbstick sits alongside three dedicated thumb buttons for additional input options.
