Razer Returns to Keypad Market with the Tartarus V2 Pro

The $199.99 device brings adjustable analog switches, a drift‑proof thumbstick, and 8,000Hz polling to give gamers and accessibility users a high‑precision one‑hand controller.

Overview

  • Razer announced and began selling the Tartarus V2 Pro this week as a $199.99 / £199.99 gaming keypad through its online store, physical shops, and partner retailers.
  • The unit offers 31 programmable controls and an adjustable wrist rest to tailor fit different hand sizes and desk setups.
  • Hardware highlights include Razer’s Analog Optical Switches Gen‑2 with 0.1–4.0mm adjustable actuation plus Rapid Trigger and Snap Flex modes, a full‑sized anti‑drift TMR thumbstick, and 8,000Hz HyperPolling for lower input latency.
  • Customization is handled in Razer Synapse with on‑device storage for 3 profiles and 8 keymaps per profile (24 total configurations) and support for complex macros and multi‑stage inputs.
  • Razer frames the V2 Pro as a competitor to specialist makers like Azeron by trading modular physical reshaping for advanced switch tech and software mapping, and reviewers say hands‑on tests will determine its real ergonomic and accessibility value.
