The Tartarus Pro has an advantage over the V2 in terms of customization options because it has analog optical switches. These switches allow you to adjust the actuation point and actuation force of each key, giving you more control over your gameplay. However, this level of customization may not be necessary for all gamers.

If you’re an avid gamer, you know that a good gaming keypad can make a significant difference in your gameplay experience. Razer, one of the leading manufacturers of gaming peripherals, has released two popular gaming keypads, the Razer Tartarus V2 and Razer Tartarus Pro. In this article, we will compare the Razer Tartarus V2 vs. Pro to help you decide which one is better for you. Design and Build QualityOtherwise, the design is neat and compact. The Tartarus V2 definitely saves a lot of room, which could be beneficial in a crowded tournament scene. At home, though, you'll probably need to use it in conjunction with a regular keyboard — not instead of one. More on that later. Keys

I'm also not sure the keypad was any more convenient than a keyboard. I had access to movement and combat controls, true, but I had access to the same things on the left half of a keyboard. The Tartarus has the more ergonomic shape, but you'd have to retrain yourself to memorize the keypad's layout as intimately as you (probably) know a keyboard's. The Tartarus Pro’s analog optical switches are also more durable than the Tartarus V2’s mechanical membrane switches, with a lifespan of up to 100 million keystrokes. The Tartarus V2’s mechanical membrane switches have a lifespan of up to 80 million keystrokes.The Tartarus Pro has a more premium build quality, with an aluminum faceplate and a magnetic wrist rest that is more comfortable than the V2’s wrist rest. The Tartarus V2 has a plastic body, and its wrist rest is not as comfortable as the Pro’s. There's clearly a market for the Tartarus V2; after all, fans embraced the first iteration enough to demand a second one. Still, having experimented with it in some of my favorite games (admittedly, at a low competitive level), it seems a bit like a solution in search of a problem. The learning curve is steep, the price is high and the benefits are mild, at best.
