![]() ![]() The keys on the Pro are a little on the heavy side but because of the nature of the dual-action keys, they kind of have to be. If you're used to mechanical keyboards, the key "feel" may mess with you at first but unless you're a particularly heavy-handed typer I don't foresee any adjustment issues. The main advantages the Pro has over the V2 are that it has optical switches, the keys are dual-action and the keys actuation is adjustable. ![]() I cannot speak to this device's use in games because I haven't used it for that, I wasn't planning on it and frankly, the other thousands of reviews have that aspect covered pretty thoroughly.The long: I chose the Pro over the V2 for a few reasons I think you'll find important. This has been my experience so far:The short: I wholeheartedly recommend this device if you are looking to use it the way I am. When it suddenly went on sale from $129 to $79, I pulled the trigger. ![]() At a MSRP of $129 I had to at least try it. I was a bit surprised because I've pretty much always used Logitech products, I knew nothing about Razer's catalog except that they were popular with people who take gaming much more seriously than I do and that's about it. While both were fine products, I heard this mentioned in passing and decided to investigate. The main two I personally had been considering were the Tour Box ($169 MSRP at time of review) and one of the Loupedeck devices ($250-500). Especially when you consider that the keyboard shortcuts that you use frequently can be between 3-4 simultaneous keystrokes which adds to the uncomfortable nature of switching.For this reason, some people start to look at editing consoles/controllers to help with this. As you might imagine this can actually slow your process down somewhat significantly. While I'm perfectly at home with a mouse and keyboard, I can attest to and must admit that having the Razer Tartarus Pro has sped up my workflow EXPONENTIALLY.As some of you reading this may know, using a graphic tablet is great for countless applications but personally when I'm using a tablet for something other than digital painting, using the express keys makes it awkward to operate one-handed and flipping back and forth between having both hands on the tablet (1 on the express keys, 1 on the pen) or having one hand on the keyboard and the other on the pen. This is the main reason I purchased this device. For some of these programs I tend to use a Wacom Intuos Pro medium in place of a mouse and, of course, a keyboard. In particular, I use Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Xd daily. If, like me, you were looking at this as a potential editing console/controller - this review is for you.I am a professional graphic designer and digital illustrator who regularly uses Adobe's Creative Cloud suite. That said, if you're reading this review to get my feedback on its usefulness and responsiveness in games - this review will have zero pertinent information for you. While I do a fair bit of gaming (mostly action & FPS games likes Rainbow Six: Siege, Hunt: Showdown, Outriders, etc.), when I discovered this product it was the last thing on my mind.
