Razer Revives Tartarus Line With V2 Pro One‑Handed Gaming Keypad

The company launched and began selling the $199.99 Tartarus V2 Pro to bring adjustable analog keys, an anti‑drift TMR thumbstick, and 8,000Hz polling to MMO, FPS and accessibility players.

Overview

  • Razer announced and put the Tartarus V2 Pro on sale Thursday for $199.99 through its store and partner retailers, marking the brand’s first major Tartarus update since 2013.
  • The V2 Pro packs 31 programmable controls, including 24 Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen‑2 keys with adjustable 0.1–4.0mm actuation and Rapid Trigger for multi‑stage and ultra‑fast inputs.
  • A full‑size TMR thumbstick with anti‑drift positioning and three dedicated thumb buttons provide controller‑style analog movement alongside the keypad’s keys.
  • The device reports true 8,000Hz HyperPolling and supports Razer Synapse customization plus three onboard profiles that store up to 24 keymaps and LED feedback for on‑device adjustments.
  • Early coverage highlights hardware specs and ergonomics but notes independent long‑term testing is pending, and specialists compare Razer’s fixed plate and limited profile storage with Azeron’s more modular, deeply customizable keypads.
