Sounds like a toothbrush: "The Razer Tartarus Pro - on one end, conquer your dental tartar like a dentist. On the other, give yourself a clean shaven face! Now with RGB lighting!"

Kinda uninspired name... Tartarus is a place of torment and suffering for half-gods (Titans). So if you buy this keyboard your fingers suffer greatly ?

I've been using this type of game controller for many years. The one I started with was designed and made under the Belkin brand; it was called the n52. Atm I'm using the n52te, and though it's older, it still works exactly as it did when it was new. I have to add here that it has always enhanced my gaming experience; especially in FPS and TPS games.

Why couldn't they just use a real analog thumbstick? o_O

Community for years: "We want an analog thumbstick instead of an 8-way D-pad!" Razer: "Here, have some analog switches instead!" How many decades will go by before we finally have a Logitech G13 successor?

Looks extremely uncomfy.

I am still using a razer nostromo. The precursor to the Tartarus and Orb weaver. This looks interesting I love being able to use the dpad for movement in fps games. If it will let me use it like an analog stick I will be picking this thing up for sure. Also to the guy who said it looks uncomfy its not. Its really ergonomical.

Yeah I bought the Tartarus last yrs model, it was very comfortable on the wrist i must say, but not enough buttons and the thumb pad was a deal breaker. Pulled out the old g13 and applied the required duct tape and kept on trucking haha . Thing is a broken mess and bent cable probably a fire hazard, but can't be beaten.
