" ... The D-Pad option made this much easier. ... "
" ... This was a game changer for me. ... "
" ... Setting up custom key layouts is easy. ... "
" ... I’m very new to the PC gaming scene but so far I have no complaints with this keyboard. ... "
" ... Awesome, customizable, perfect for mmorpg games, I use this with WoW, SWTOR, & FFXIV, I’ve also managed to customize it for Stardew Valley & Graveyard Keeper. ... "
" ... -Only the center key on the third row has an identifier that you can feel (like F/J keys) ... -You will run out of room playing games with a ton of key bindings ... -The keys feel responsive ... It does have a number of CONS (to me), but it has greatly improved my PC gaming experience compared to using the keyboard, so with that alone I would recommend getting the Tartarus. ... "
" ... Great gaming device. ... Using it for FPS & TPS games and is great. ... "
" ... It is very usefull for configure special keys or movement, really like the design, only comes with two mods of ajust to the hand so I think is average. ... "

" ... It has all the standard customization options that you expect from a gaming device in a comfortable configuration. ... "
" ... This gives my hand a good anchor point AND let's me program the keys however I like which is good because I'm unfamiliar with traditional keyboard layouts. ... "
" ... I've tried and used several game keypads and gamepads to help my hands feel better and respond faster and more precisely as well. ... This gamepad feels very natural to use. ... The keys feel good and are placed well. ... They are comfortable. ... "
" ... I got this because my wrists started hurting when playing a game on an ergonomic keyboard with deep wells for each hand. ... "
" ... Been using for a while now and is one of best investments I've made keys feel amazing ... "
" ... I've bought the Orbweaver and a couple off branded products and never liked the feel or quality, the thumbsticks never felt right or had to much "slop" that made accurate keybinding not feasible. ... "
" ... Being able to move with the joystick frees up your four fingers for easily accessible hockey's. ... "

" ... The keys are all easily reached, spaced enough to not feel cramped, however even with the adjustable palm rest back in the farthest option (on two options) I have to put my fingers in such a way to curl my hand in order to hit the keys directly from above, otherwise the keys don't press smoothly. ... The unit has a slightly comfortable rest for your wrist of real or fake leather. ... The grip pads underneath work well, work so well I occasionally detach the wrist rest by accident attempting to move the keypad. ... "
" ... I love the shape of the pad it helps my wrist ... "
" ... This is more for people that have longer fingers. ... The D-Pad option made this much easier. ... "
" ... Comfortable didn't take long to get use to ... "
" ... The keypad is highly customizable and the resting state of the hand feels very natural. ... I especially love the placement of the spacebar key and have found the directional pad to be a lot more useful than I ever thought it would be. ... It is great currently, but an even steeper angle would get the arm to rest at an even more neutral position. ... "
" ... I upgraded from a red dragon to this and it like night and day my hand rests comfortably on the rest and The software let's you remap everybutton to what ever you want I personally use mine for gameing but this would be great for video editing and what ever elc you can think of I'm happy that I gave this a go ... "
" ... I put alot of research into my first single hand keyboard and I believe I made the right decision! ... "
" ... The palm rest is well shaped and fits my hand nicely (see con about foam below). ... This would allow solid and consistent hand position. ... An additional key [Ctrl] below key 16 would be great and feel more like the left-hand of my keyboard. ... Forward is about 15-20 degrees off what feels natural. ... I'll get used to it over time, but natural/instinctive is always better than learned. ... "

" ... In other words, Razer has full time tracking of what games you play, and how long you play. ... "
" ... Probably one of the best purchases I've ever made for my gaming set up. ... But for character movements and abilities, controller is the best. ... "
" ... Playing Insurgency, Battlefield, and Fallout. ... "
" ... If you like computer gaming but want a thumbstick instead of buttons this is an awesome purchase ... "
" ... The Tartarus is the ergonomic secret weapon of Razer’s pro gaming peripherals. ... "
" ... Excellent for gaming with really good key travel and feel not just for a membrane but in general. ... "
" ... A couple months ago, I was playing a game and was really in the mood for some egg nog, given the holiday spirit. ... And I game A LOT. ... You'll never have to change in-game controlls, you simply change your own controls on the gamepad (which means you can leave your game control settings as default). ... "
" ... Great for gamers ... "

" ... First off, the keys are really really heavy. ... Partially pressing the key I set to turn left will indeed turn the steering wheel part way, but it's virtually impossible to hold it in a steady spot because it's so twitchy and unstable, your fingers soon hurt because of how heavy the keys are plus the analog input maxes out when the key is only about half-way depressed, which is just . ... why oh WHY does it have a scroll wheel? ... yet now that useless scroll wheel is back for some reason. ... "
" ... another button i assigned to the number 3 simply just refused to be assigned as well . ... "
" ... I bought this and I loved it until one of the keys stopped responding. ... "
" ... The up arrow key stopped working after six months of normal use. ... "
" ... The four rows of buttons was a little different for me, but I had used that setup on my old Orbweaver so I figured I would get used to it. ... The New Naga Trinity is okay, but the 12 button pad seems to be off. ... "
" ... Bought this thing in December, already the keys are either activating without me touching them, or stay active long after I stopped pressing them. ... "
" ... However, there are some quality control issues. ... Mine arrived with 3 keys that didnt click and felt very mushy, the replacement have 4 keys that were like this. ... "
" ... Right out of the box, keys are physically sticking. ... Sometimes the pad or software never registers the key-up either, so you get stuck with a key "pressed down" for 5 seconds at a time, even when they key has released. ... "

" ... If you’re a Mac user beware that their software support is not very good. ... The driver they use is incompatible with modern MacOS versions and causes system instability on the older versions (frozen system while shutting down) ... "
" ... The fit is terrible, customization is difficult, but the worst part is the software. ... It only launches about 50% of the time, meaning I cannot load my custom profiles without RESTARTING my computer! ... That's right, you can't even force run it as an admin! ... "
" ... I contacted Razer support who had me reinstall Synapse3 along with some Windows related stuff that didn't fix the issue. ... "
" ... It has terrible driver support. ... You install the Razer Synapse software, which is essentially spyware, in order to install directly Razer's own drivers -- and the software doesn't pick up the device. ... It installs SERVICES that have to be manually disabled before they can be deleted. ... "
" ... Not physically, I think it's some kind of glitch or software bug that locks the key down until you press it again. ... "
" ... Thing is, I can't seem to get the drivers to load for Windows 7. ... Causes a hard crash after loading the Razer software. ... I know Windows 7 is old, but . ... "
" ... Their official driver-software didn't even included the files and application that necessary to start the driver-software. ... "
" ... Main issue I come across is the software. ... Support software is also incredibly slow to update. ... You'd think the updates for the software would be frequent. ... And this is some game-breaking issues, like not being able to move the entire UI, so it's completely stuck in place and cannot be fixed. ... "

" ... After a couple weeks of use I noticed that there was quite a bit of drifting. ... "
" ... These are my thoughts after using it for 2 weeks ... "
" ... People report that the issue has not been fixed for years now. ... "
" ... The directional pad will break in the upward direction within about 2 years (some people report months). ... Something that costs $70+ depending on where you buy it from, should not be breaking in less than two years. ... "
" ... But spending $80 on something that stops functioning correctly after 3 months seems kind of absurd. ... "

" ... -Profile editor was easier to use in the past ... "
" ... Easy enough once you know to look for it, and a good way to start exploring the functionality of the analog-optical. ... "
" ... I enjoy the detailed set up features that comes with it. ... "
" ... This doesn't really matter because you have around 12 buttons within easy reach. ... "

" ... The only real downside so far is the software. ... "
" ... The problem occurs randomly and is not isolated to specific keys which makes me believe the problem is with the software. ... "
" ... The only reason that Razer has an "only" cloud software is to spy on your local system. ... "
" ... Not physically, I think it's some kind of glitch or software bug that locks the key down until you press it again. ... "
" ... Uninstalling the supporting software or purchasing software that lets you remap the keys to avoid this problem is not a viable solution. ... "
" ... Now the razer synapse app just doesn't come up at all after stopping and restarting the software. ... Now it's a worthless piece of crap because I can't use it because I can't start the app that controls it. ... "
" ... Also, DO NOT DOWNLOAD Razer Cortex software! ... "
" ... YOU MUST KEEP THE RIDICULOUSLY BLOATED SOFTWARE RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND AT ALL TIMES FOR YOUR CONFIGURATION TO WORK. ... "

" ... They did not sell because the original version were highly durable and you could still buy them on ebay so gamers bought 2 or 3. ... "
" ... The materials seem much better and the quality is definitely there. ... "
" ... Overall great feel and material robustness. ... "
" ... The build quality is excellent. ... "
" ... It feels sturdy and I'm confident it'll hold up for some time. ... "
" ... In the case of the Apex Pro, this isn't an issue as the switches themselves are fairly light and the actuation is adjustable making it much more comfortable to bottom out. ... Were this still the case for these stiffer switches it would have slightly mitigated the problem of accidental actuation ... For this reason alone I think the Apex Pro still has the better switches based purely on the fact that they aren't as stiff. ... "
" ... -For this price, I would've expected keycaps that weren't ABS plastic. ... "

I have never heard of many places that make you prove the product is defective just for a replacement, a refund I understand but not a replacement. ...

" ... One year ago, I had a problem with a Tartarus v.1 key spamming on my Mac. ... After a quick search I found this was common on Synapse 2, and there were whispers that Razer wasn't supporting Mac at all. ... First of all, if you are a Mac user, know that despite what it says on the packaging and the website - this product WILL NOT work on your device. ... "

I tried running Synapse 2 and 3 at the same time, but my computer got buggy so I uninstalled Synapse 2 and I just used my old Tartarus without keybindings hoping they would update Synapse 3 with more "legacy" devices like they had done with Synapse 2 many years ago. ... My PC froze. ... My PC froze. ... "
" ... It doesn't work on Mac systems (perhaps it works perfect in PC). ... "

" ... Yes, even if you have already configured your key mappings and have everything working, you must have internet access for things to work. ... Why oh why must I be connected to the internet for this work? ... "
" ... Terrible compatibility with Mac OS. ... Support now says that it is only compatible with Synapse 3, which isn’t available on Mac OS ... "

" ... I feel like I got lucky, the used product of this looks brand new and is in great shape, and since it worked out and I ended up loving the keypad it was money well spent. ... "
" ... - After seeing the new Tartarus physically, I can easily say that the 2015 design was superior. ... When I went from the old 4 row Orbweaver to the 2013 design and 2015 Tartaruses, there wasn't much loss of function when using the 3 row keypad with a Naga mouse. ... "
