The Tartarus V2 Pro introduces several key physical hardware improvements over its predecessor:
- Upgraded Optical Switches: Features refined optical switch technology with an expanded actuation depth range, allowing users to customize key travel sensitivity and activation points.
- Analog TMR Thumbpad: Replaces traditional directional switches with an analog Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) sensor array, providing precise, high-resolution positional tracking for directional movement.
The keypad integrates with Razer’s Synapse software suite to support proprietary input technologies aimed at improving execution consistency in competitive titles:

- Snap Flex: Enables dual-function key mapping, allowing players to bind two distinct commands to a single key based on press depth to streamline complex multi-key combinations.
- Snap Tap: Automatically prioritizes the most recent input between two selected keys to prevent simultaneous actuation. In first-person shooters, this eliminates overlapping inputs during rapid directional strafing, ensuring fluid movement transitions without accidental standing stops.
In addition to custom input logic, each key supports per-key RGB lighting and profile reassignment. The Razer Tartarus V2 Pro is available starting today.
