iam thinking to buy this keyboard just to use the thumb stick as a wasd movement
do you think guys its comfortable and suitable

It works great for that but I have to say I received my V2 on dec 18th and was not able to use it due to buggy beta drivers for almost a month in WoW(my main game) and after a full month of daily use I just had to RMA it because the forward thumb stick button broke.

Pretty sure it broke clean off inside so I guess I will see with the new one in a week or so when I get it if this was just a fluke or bad design/cheap parts. The design is amazing and pretty much exactly what I have been looking for over the years but if this is a taste of whats to come QC wise it will make me very sad.

Well, like I said, it would be nice if it had the scroll wheel and the cushy wrist rest that the Tartarus has. Since everything "v2" is having that rest added, and I personally really like the idea of the second wheel.


Fair enough, so potential Orbweaver V2 features:
- Scroll wheel
- Cushy wrist rest
- Button on the thumbrest :)

Though in all fairness, if Razer DID make an Orbweaver V2, I'd be disappointed if it didn't have noticeably more buttons than the Tartarus. It is their flagship in this class after all.

Honestly, I don't know what Razer could do more with the Orbweaver.

Honestly, I don't know what Razer could do more with the Orbweaver. It already has full Chroma, mechanical keys and all that. The Tartarus V2 is a step up from the Tartarus Chroma for a couple of reasons:
1) More keys! 32 compared to 25
2) Per-key Chroma lighting

Compared to Orbweaver Chroma, obviously lower the price reflects the membrane keyboard. I particularly like having button 20 under the thumb, and the scroll wheel. However, the Orbweaver has a lot more customisation for how it fits in your hand.

The Tartarus V2 definitely has some Nostromo DNA swimming around in it. Specifically, the scroll wheel. I even found a reference to "Nostromo V2" while digging around the Synapse 3 Beta files for it.

Synapse 3 Beta 3.3.228.20212 really kicks up the power of the Tartarus V2 (well, really all Chroma-enabled input devices) as you can finally map a lighting profile to an app, as well as a keymap. It's not just a gaming keyboard, but now it can also be a productivity device, e.g. with colour-coded shortcuts and macros for audio/video workstations. That was in fact the 2nd major reason I invested in the Tartarus V2 ... now if only Razer will build Synapse 3 for OSX ... :)

Can any Tartarus V2 owners, let me know if while playing overwatch if youre getting the same behaviors ... and W A S D not reacting as a normal keyboard would?


I don't play Overwatch but the Diablo III Chroma App doesn't seem to work as desired. It comes up in all red, then when my Barbarian rages, goes all orange. No per-key lighting or anything like that. Seems to me that the Chroma Apps have to be rewritten for each model of device

I'm really torn... between buying a Tartarus or waiting to see if they're working on an Orbweaver v2.

I would normally get the Tartarus because it's cheaper, it has the scroll wheel, and the padded wrist rest.

The Orbwaver is appealing to me for literally one reason. Orange switches.

If it wasn't for the whole "mehca-membrane" nonsense, I'd buy the Tartarus in a heartbeat. But I think adding a little clicker to a membrane key is entirely pointless, and only serves to make it sound more annoying than it needs to me.

I would either like to see a version of the Tartarus with mechanical switches (so I could choose orange and have no clicking), or an Orbweaver v2 with the 20th key replaced with a scroll wheel and a padded wrist rest.

Knowing my luck, I'll get tired of waiting, buy a Tartarus, and 3 days later they'll announce the Orbweaver v2, with exactly those features.

one thing I just noticed the other day ... while playing overwatch .... my razer blade keyboard (or connected black widow chroma) reacts to the game. IE ... W A S D lights up, along with ability keys E and L Shift. my razer orb weaver, kind of does its own thing, and does not light up WASD which is disappointing

I've been using tartarus for designing for a long time and it is an amazing tool!
I wish at some point you guys could come up with a custom tartarus for designers that fusions a controler like 3D connexion and tartarus in one device!!!!
currently I have these two devices side by side and I have to move my hand from one to the other...

If only they could be fused into one so that I could control the keyboard with 4 fingers and the 'joystick' with the thump...

how is this compared to the orbweaver


I posted a first impressions review after a couple days with mine. It's a handful of threads down the page in this forum. My initial thoughts have just been reinforced with a few more days playtime. I much prefer this to my Orbweaver Stealth. YMMV, of course.

I believe you can buy an orbweaver and modify it to have orange switches. There are tutorials on YT :)


I would prefer Tart v2... If I can remove the clicky steel part and it is much more advanced ergonomically plus the extra scroll button I'm missing since my nostromo n52ti.
But currently trying to get back to "normal" keyboard gaming (so hard!) with my blackwidow v2 stealth.

Mine arrived Monday. I posted a separate first impressions review. I'll just say here that I love it. I've been using these since the original Belkin Nostromo n50 15 years ago and this the apex of the evolution.

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere so.... Synape 3 or Synapse 2?


Hi @everTealGreenbase833, the Tartarus v2 is supported by Synapse 3. You can download it here.
The team is looking to update the Synapse 3 website to add the Tartarus v2 to it's list of supported devices.

hmm... i'm thinking about to buy this... it's nice... but i have a keyboard....

Hey, that's okay- this is used in tandem with a keyboard. I'm a long-time MMORPG player and the more keybinds for me- the better. (WoW, GW2 for example)

Cheers!

It's seem like a good product but I never know what is it used for...
What is this

This is used primarily for keybinds in a game. 🙂
