Razer Tartarus V2 controller D-pad sticking / glitch
Userlevel 1
so while using the Tartarus V2, the d pad sticks and you keep moving in one direction till u press the same direction again. I know a lot of people have this problem while looking through the forums and the one solution is to delete razer synaps. but unfortunately I use a lot of razer products and that's the best way to match and customize RGB. so its either I deal with that annoying glitch and have cool colors and effects. or i delete synaps and don't deal with that glitch but now half my RGB features are useless. I was hoping to bring this back to the attention of the developers to see if u can make a small patch for synaps so the people who use the Tartarus can enjoy there gaming and RGB lights at the same time. Please and thank you.

no they are not clicky, but they have a constant resistance. Clicky keys have absolutely no resistance, then bump, then nothing again. The analog keys feel like they are sprung (which i guess they are).
Clicky would not work for analog keys since you can change the actuation point.
Good afternoon. I ordered Tartatus Pro and are interested in analog switches. Do they work as promised by the manufacturer, or are you not using pressure?
No problem in Cyberpunk 2077.
Hello.
Sorry for the google translator.
I want to tell my story. I don't play much. I should really like the game. Therefore, a very small sample provided an interesting observation. I play one game for a very long time. Full immersion (six hundred hours in the Starbase ship editor).
I have been using Tartarus V2 Chroma for one year. I bought it for Elite Dungerous. I have looked now my libraries on Steam, Epic and Gog and could not find what else I played this year.
Later I gave up Elite and started playing Starbase. I didn't have any sticky buttons. I only learned about this from reviews. I wanted to give myself the Pro version for the new year.
Reviews have discouraged me. Pulled the loud springs out of the V2 and was pleased. And gave myself The Riftbreaker and almost abandoned Starbase (this is important).
Then I reinstalled Windows and the problems started. I was shocked. Horrified. I enjoyed sticking to the fullest. I scolded Razer. Clean operating system. All advice to fix the problem is nonsense.
Before that, everything worked. Reinstalled the system and everything broke. Clean up the registry? Seriously? I was angry.
Then, I noticed that WASD does not work well in Riftbreaker. This is important for 2.5D. I couldn't run diagonally. Often I could not even move straight the first time. It interested me. I remembered that I ran Starbase for a short time and there were no problems.
Today I spent two hours in the Starbase ship editor and not a single stuck. Compared to the horror in Riftbreaker. If 99% of games are sticky, why does Starbase work fine? Is this the secret? Application work with the keyboard.
I'll have some tea and try Cyberpunk 2077. I'll write the result later.

I have the naga trinity and the tartarus v2, both of them still get the stuck key / multiple entry bug. Also, occasionally, my sensitivity will spike to ridiculous levels for absolutely no reason.
The second I have another gamepad option with a thumbstick I'm gonna drop all my razer stuff like the steaming pile it has turned out to be. Tartarus v1 was excellent, synapse is garbage.
Edit: naga trinity not naga pro.

Hi All, I purchased my original Tartarus V2 Mecha-Membrane back in 2017. Served me extremely well but is now looking very tired. 12 months ago I bought the latest version as a replacement. Lo and behold, this had the sticky key issue! Right where I map WASD (08, 12, 13,14). I tried getting a replacement but same issue. Obviously nothing wrong with the hardware so must be the software I guess. I did try a few hacks, such as recreate my Razer Synapsis profile but no luck. I have quite a few other Razer peripherals so using 3rd party software is very undesirable.
12 months on and again I am still very keen to replace/ update my keypad! Not much appears to have changed or come out to market since. Is it at all worth me taking a punt on the Tartarus "Pro" edition? Or am I all but guaranteed to have the same sticky keys issue as it's same generation as the Mecha-Membrane models I had to sent back last year?
Fascinating that my original Tartarus Mecha-Membrane from 2017 performs flawlessly but the recent edition appears so broke..
Thanks.

Hey Guys!
Tartarus v2, Naga Trinity, Black widow chrome v2, and Nari Ultimate running on Synapse 3.6.1130(most recent update for me)
Spent a while reading through this post trying to get my sticky keys issue to stop, and no dice. What I've observed is it seems to happen when I'm holding down a key on the Naga Trin('=' for discord push to talk) while moving in game(WSAD) on the Tartarus. Tried changing the push to talk keybind to other innocuous keys like the ' and \\ keys, but experienced the same issue.
I haven't tried the 3rd party app mentioned(reWSAD i think), but may have to give it a try. Have been dealing with the issue, like many of yall, since the Tartarus was purchased. I can't recall the issue occurring on my old Orbweaver.
I hope this helps with the tshooting Razer!

“Hyperesponse thumb button” still has the sticking problem.
Rest of the button is just fine for 2 weeks now.

Reinstalled synapse to test, worked for a few days with no errors, synapse did an update after a reboot and issue returned. Back to rewasd for me. (multiple tartarus v2, stuck direction pad)
So yesterday I took out my tartarus from its box and give it another try with the synapse update.
I played 2 hours of DeepRockGalactic which was exhibiting the issue rather quickly and did not see the problem occured.
Note that since my last test, almost all my hardware has changed (CPU,MB,USB HUB) and I updated to Win11 + synapse updates.
Need more testing I think before calling this a bugfix

i want to update that i've never face any stick key problem since my last post (Oct 17 2021), not even once. hopefully this is actually the fix people have been waiting for long time lol

mmmmm paying a premium price for this and having all these issues definitely has put me off from this product, thanks all for all the feedback.
I was looking to buy the Tartarus Pro, and I imediatelly ran away after know this situation. This kind of problem is commonlly made by Razer, they just ignore the facts and keep selling the product, even with a big issue like this from Tartarus that persist since it's lauch (2019).

We need to test more, there were already solutions that for some strange reason worked for a few weeks, and then the problem kept coming back.
I can confirm I still have sticky keys on the latest update. I applied the patch over the update and will see if that fixes the issue.
Hello guys!
So, did this last Synapse update really kill this bug for Tartarus V2 and Pro?
Thanks! \\o

Thanks a mil for all the info, what I actually meant with clicky was are the keys super silent or do they actually give a nice sound while typing?

Feels like pressing air? I obviously missed finger day in the gym and I find them pretty much perfect in the feedback sense.
LOL I have no idea thats why I am asking, some people on youtube says they have very little feedback, are the keys clicky or not?

I dont have a tartarus but I have a huntsman v2 analog that had the same problem and I dont wanna jinx it but since the latest patch I have not had the issue.
I have only about 2 hours of play test time but it used to occur 3-6 times an hour.
Fingers crossed it sticks.
Great news please keep us updated, also is the analog switches really as mushy as they say, some compare it to pressing air, no resistance at all? I might be interested in the Tatarus Pro, but the fact that the keys "feel like pressing air" is a bit of a let down

I will test last synapse update today. (tartarus pro black)
I am looking into buying the Tartarus V2 and was wondering if this issue has been sorted out? I know a workaround is uninstalling Synaps but then I loose all the settings I use extensively on my naga mouse
