Razer Tartarus V2 Chroma Gaming Keypad

The Razer Tartarus V2 Chroma is also a part of Chroma series by Razer. It is an upgraded version of the Tartarus Chroma, therefore, you should expect more advanced features from this best gaming keypad. At first glance, the Tartarus V2 imitates the design of its younger sibling. We are certainly not complaining, as the design is ergonomically sound and pleasing to the eye. The V2 Chroma differs from the basic Chroma in its size and its visually discernable scroll wheel. The scroll wheel replaces the thumbpad, giving you more control over your movements in games. The Tartarus V2 copies the entire design of the Tartarus Chroma but it has a more prominent leather wrist cushion and ergonomic keys.

GamesEverytime’s Review

The biggest selling point of the Razer Tartarus Chroma V2 is its mecha-membrane keys. Some users prefer mechanical keys over membrane keys or vice versa but Razer gives you the best of both worlds with Chroma V2. Moreover, the scroll wheel is a nice addition to the design, allowing you to move your character around in all directions, which is particularly useful in FPS games.

There are a few drawbacks as well; you cannot reach all the keys on the keypad without moving your entire hand. The V2 somewhat defeats the purpose of one-handed comfort. However, even after weighing its pros and cons, we think you should decide in favor of the V2 if you have large hands and long fingers.
