Overview

  • Razer announced the Tartarus V2 Pro on Thursday, Sept. 17, and the keypad is available now for $199.99 in the US and £199.99 in the UK.
  • The V2 Pro uses Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen‑2 with adjustable actuation from 0.1–4.0 mm, Rapid Trigger for instant repeated inputs and switches rated to 100 million keystrokes.
  • Hardware includes a full‑size TMR anti‑drift thumbstick plus 31 programmable controls, 24 of which use the analog switches, and true 8,000 Hz HyperPolling for reduced input lag.
  • Customization relies on Razer Synapse and three onboard profiles with eight keymaps each for 24 configurations, while the physical keypad layout is fixed and only the wrist rest angle and length adjust.
  • The V2 Pro revives a dormant product line to compete with modular rivals like Azeron by trading extensive physical tower customization for integrated analog input, mainstream retail availability and potential ergonomic benefits for players with limited hand mobility.
