Using the Tartarus feels like an extension of your hand rather than a peripheral. The Mecha-Membrane switches provide a satisfying clicky feedback with a soft cushioned touch, while the Pro version's analog switches allow for nuanced inputs, such as walking or running based on pressure. The ergonomic wrist rest is adjustable to two different positions, ensuring that even during marathon raids or competitive matches, hand fatigue is significantly minimized.
When comparing the Tartarus V2 to the Tartarus Pro, the primary distinction lies in the switch technology. The V2 is ideal for those who prefer tactile, clicky feedback at an accessible price point. In contrast, the Tartarus Pro introduces analog input, which functions similarly to a controller's joystick, providing 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. This makes the Pro version superior for racing games or third-person adventures where movement speed control is critical.
Q&A:
- What is analog input on the Tartarus Pro? Analog input measures the depth of a keypress (0-255) rather than a simple on/off signal, allowing for variable control in games.
- Which games support analog input? Any game that supports a standard controller, such as Fortnite, Rocket League, and Final Fantasy XIV, is compatible.
- Is the wrist rest adjustable? Yes, the ergonomic palm rest features two distinct positions to accommodate different hand sizes and grip styles.
- How many macros can I save? With Razer Synapse, you can create macros of any length and save an unlimited number of profiles for different games.
- Does it support Mac? The Tartarus series is compatible with Mac via Razer Synapse 2, while PC users utilize the more advanced Synapse 3.
