Razer presents its first gamepad with analog optical switches and double press

[Inkriql]

Razer is one of the largest peripheral companies in the sector and this 2019 is showing a fairly wide arsenal of products, both within the new versions for existing components, as well as new products and series. Today it has presented its new Tartarus Pro, a gamepad that fattens the manufacturer's list with the peculiarity of being the first to include the latest generation analog optical switches.

Razer Tartarus Pro is a mechanical gaming keyboard that will offer us a competitive advantage over the vast majority of rivals from other brands. It has two very clear advantages in this aspect: a small size with the keys strictly necessary for any player worth its salt and the so-called latest generation analog optical switches.
Technical characteristics of the Razer Tartarus Pro

 

As a good gaming keyboard, its features are really wide:

     Razer analog optical switches.
     Dual Function Keys
     Adjustable drive
     32 fully programmable keys with 8-way programmable directional pad.
     Chromatic backlight with 16.8 million customizable colors.
     Instant change between 8 maps.
     Unlimited macros.
     Razer Synapse
     Braided fiber cable

As we see, the options and configurations are the most complete and it is difficult to think that we will not be able to perform any function within the game due to its great configuration possibilities.

We are used to each press of a key reflect a specific action, but with the arrival of the new analog optical switches this will change completely. The new Razer Tartarus Pro can register two input levels for each press, where everything depends on the degree of pressure we make on each key.

An infrared light passes through the switch mechanism, where the sensor measures the depth of the activation based on the light passing through it.

This allows us to have greater control over what we want to do in a game and especially a greater range of nuances, since the so-called "input scale" is created.

For example, with half a press of the switch we can tell the keyboard to assign the walking action, while if we press it to the bottom the action must be to run.

This function has been called "double function keys", where each switch can also be adjustable at its operating point, so that we can modify the activation of each key in case we want to have a greater or lesser sensitivity when pressed.
32 programmable keys, unlimited profiles and side thumbpad

As we have said, we will have up to 32 fully programmable keys, where in addition this Razer Tartarus Pro includes on its right side an 8-way directional thumbpad that is also programmable and can even be used to navigate any web.

Every gaming keyboard must have the ability to manage macros, but in this case, Razer has wanted to be ambitious and will not put any limits on the creation of them.

Of course we talk about the famous profiles, where, in addition, we can create them with the press of a side button that includes for such purpose, by means of which up to 8 macros can be recorded on the brand without the need for software.

This Razer Tartarus Pro is available from today worldwide at a recommended price of 149.99 euros
