Hey y’all! (ALL PHOTOS are taken over a year span as I added more to the PC Set Up. Tartarus with me the whole time)
I wanted to share my experience with the Razer Tartarus V2 Left Hand Keyboard Controller with Joystick.
As a dedicated Fortnite FNCS and Streamer, this controller has become a game-changer for me. Its combination of fast response, customization options, and comfortable design has significantly improved my gameplay. The blend of membrane rubber dome and mechanical switch gives an instant edge, and the 32 programmable keys offer endless customization. Plus, the 8-way directional thumbpad makes executing commands seamless. Even during long gaming sessions, comfort remains a priority with this controller, and the detachable palm rest is a nice touch. Beyond gaming, it has streamlined my streaming tasks with its programmable keys. All in all, the Razer Tartarus V2 has earned its place as an essential tool in my setup. If you're serious about leveling up your gameplay and content creation, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I was going to buy a number pad but got this instead. I enter dates and numbers into work systems, so I programmed it with number keys, backspace for error correction, and a dash on the thumb key. The joystick makes scrolling down pages of entries a click down and hold process instead of rowing a mouse wheel. But it has a thumb wheel if needed. The hand rest adjusted back to a good position as I have large hands and is far more comfortable than the alternative. I can now enter the data with the Tartarus and a mouse without a need to move my hand from keyboard number pad to the mouse and back constantly. And I can program it for other programs (Video editing, DAW, Excel etc) Win win. I may get a matching keyboard and retire my bulky logitech G510 for work as I don't really need the mappable keys on the keyboard itself anymore.

What I like about this one handed is that every key can be customized and if you have other razer products you can sync them with RGB lights and hyperspeed. I did not like the hand rest position making to uncomfortable for me to interact with the key as my hands are not big enough for it design. If you are learning mouse and keyboard and play MMO this will be perfect for you as long as your hand fits.

This is a great device, it works really good. It does take some time to get used to, but once you setup the buttons to your liking it works great. The RGB on it is also amazing and the software is not too hard to use. Very useful and feels really good quality. The best part is it allows your hand to rest very naturally which helps when plaging for long hours with cramping and soreness.

Great accessory for gaming laptop and it's comfy! Only issues that I have is the space (thumb) button doesn't snap back as fast as the others (like less mechanical) it still works in game though. I also dislike that the buttons are numbered and not lettered (however that's just personal preference). Love the rgb backlights and the mechanical snappiness of all the buttons (besides that one)

Absolutely perfect, I’ve had it about 5 months now, it is a must for a lot of games for me, only downside is I wish there was a easier way to find pre made profiles for popular games that other people have made, because mapping the buttons for all my games gets annoying

I had an old version like 12 years ago which I lost. But I just got a gaming PC and I knew I needed a new one. Great product and love that I can customize the lights on it.

The Razer Tartarus V2 is a Must Have!

Ive been using the Razer Tartarus V2 for several months, and it has completely transformed my gaming and productivity experience. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by the sleek design and premium build quality.
Performance and Customization
The hybrid mechanical switches deliver an incredibly satisfying tactile response, making every keypress feel precise and lightning-fast. Whether I’m deep in a competitive FPS match or multitasking across apps, the responsiveness is unparalleled. The Synapse software is intuitive, allowing me to customize key mappings, macros, and RGB lighting with ease. I particularly love the 4-way directional thumbpad, which adds another layer of control and versatility.
Ergonomics
Comfort is a top priority for me, and the ergonomic wrist rest on the Tartarus V2 ensures long gaming or work sessions are strain-free. The compact design saves space on my desk, and the layout is intuitive, making the transition from a traditional keyboard seamless.
Value
It’s clear that Razer put thought into every detail of this keypad. It’s not just a peripheral—it’s a tool that enhances both fun and efficiency. For anyone on the fence, the Razer Tartarus V2 is worth every penny.
In short, this is a product I can confidently recommend to any gamer, streamer, or even creative professional looking for precision and comfort. Thanks, Razer, for designing something this innovative!

I have two tablets I like to use. My main one which is attached to my computer (XP Pen 22HD) and my surface pro. My surface doesn't let me use the keyboard while drawing (or at least doesn't let me use it easily) so this along with the razer cloud sort of thing that basically lets you carry over your settings to other devices it's easy to switch over on the go. A bit big for my hands, but all the buttons I need to use are within reach. It's only the top row that I don't use nor can my fingers reach.

The best way to play computer games

The Tartarus is the state of the art of keypads. I use it seamlessly in computer gaming with macros assigned to each key. It is much easier to navigate than a full keyboard as the thumb stick allows for directional input while the remaining keys allow you to execute commands without ever moving or looking at your hand. The synapse software makes it easy to customize your macros and switch between layouts for each of your games.

So first off the thing has something like 19 buttons. I find it very comfortable to use. It means I can use a mouse with one hand and this with the other. Additionally saves wear and tear on a keyboard, especially important when a laptop is involved. Highly recommend

I love this thing, it’s the perfect bridge between controller and keyboard gaming. It doesn’t work to type with, but it works incredibly well to game with. The arrow key joystick and programmable keys allows you to play anything with seamless movement and action. It’s like using a controller with programmable back peddles but you also get mouse aiming. A must have dohickey for console players switching to pc gaming
