Whoa... this is next level! (*Dies to a bot*) Wanna fight? (*Can't curse... just go!) Hello, it's ItSub! Last year, I reviewed a fun little product
called "one-handed keyboard." Every game is different, if you think about it...
I myself play League and PUBG. The position of my left hand stays somewhat the same. So when I heard "one-handed keyboard," I was like... "Ooh? That makes sense!" So today, ...The high-end version of the one-handed keyboard... The Razer Tartarus Pro.
I'll unbox and review it. I've tried out the keys on these
one-handed keyboards at an actual store. The good ones were very quirky,
yet attractive at the same time. Before any hands-on experience,
to any old regular user, ...this would be a product that makes them wonder,
"Why would anybody use this thing?" (*Unboxing*) It's been a while since I've reviewed
Razer gaming gears. I didn't show you everything in my videos,
but Razer products that I own include: A keyboard that I mainly use. The i9-10900k computer I've recently built
also uses a Razer case. The Tartarus Pro comes in two colors:
Black or white. When we think, "Razer," We often visualize a black product with green accents. When I was shopping for this thing,
they didn't have the black one, so this time... Tsk... It doesn't have that Razer feel to it, but... I bought the white one. I won't go so far as to say
this is a mechanical keyboard... But as you can see here, this product uses the
"Analog Switch technology," ...and it has those optical axes. It's notable that it comes with a 2-year free warranty. Gaming products these days commonly
guarantee a 2-year warranty instead of 1. It's a pain to go through the customer service...
So it's only right that they guarantee 2 years. I'll open it right away. Lift it up like this, and... Whew! This part right here is completely white. The part where you'd put your wrist on
has a yellowish tint added to it. Ohh... dat cushion. Oh, I like how that feels. Razer. Tartarus Pro. Like Logitech does, Razer gives you
stickers, as you can see. The color changes depending on the angle. As you can see here, Razer's pushing
something called Chroma these days. Various types of lighting. Like Phillips Hue. A bunch of lights thrown together,
and their pushing it under the name, "Razer Chroma." "Designed for gamers" is what they're saying. For the cable... It's completely white, to match the color scheme. Oh? Even the cable tie has Razer engraved on it. That feel, These little details... ...is what makes a gamer's heart throb. These details are what turns you into a gearhead. The USB plug says "Razer," too. Like this... Wow!!! The symbolic green axis! I meant something that reminds you of their green color. The USB port is finished with that color. Now that's that Razer feel! Now let's take a look at the keyboard itself. At first glance, you can make out the odd design. The cheaper one-handed keyboards look like
a regular keyboard sawed in half... This guy, however, looks like it was ergonomically
designed for one-handed use. I'm taking off my gloves, and... And when I put my hand on the keyboard? This is really.... Wow! It's designed so that my hand lays on it comfortably! When you're using a regular keyboard, Usually what happens is... here... Because of this gap between
your wrist and your palm, ...your hands often feel tired after a long session. But for this keyboard, you put your palm on it like this. And your wrist... ...is supported by this cushy cushion here. Wow! My hand is comfortable, to start. But at first, since the part that touches
your hand is elevated, ...you may feel a slight discomfort. Huh? Ooh! So in order to fit your hand shape... You see these sets of two holes? Using these holes, you can... ...reposition it like this. I've taken it down just one notch, Ah! Before, since this part was sticking forward, ...my hand was comfortable, sure.
But the angle was lifted up like this. But now, oooh. It's just right! For actual use, the most important feature is right here. These 19 buttons. To be exact, including this button right here,
there are 20 buttons total on this keyboard. The fact that these are numbered,
instead of reading "QWSD"... ...means that you can map each button individually,
just the way you want it. The movement controls, which are the most
frequently used... ...the WASD keys are placed like so. I wish they'd gave these buttons a green finish,
in order to give us that Razer feel. Like I've said before, this is the Pro product. Before this, there were other similar products. The fact that they've continued to make this product, ...tells us that there are plenty of people
wanting to use one-handed keyboards. What's changed from the previous V2 model? The optical switch. As Koreans call them, "Kwang-chuk." The Tartarus V2 had the Mecha-Membrane. It's a membrane, but has that click-y feel to it
when pressed down. So it was a keyboard that had
some mechanical features. Now, they've completely gone the optical switch route. Let's take a look... Ah, that reminds me. Razer doesn't give you a keycap remover. This came from the ABKO keyboard. So that's a bit of a bummer. The further you move down, the incline goes up.
That's how it was designed. The keycap itself isn't that tall. Granted, I've taken out the middle keys. It's not that tall, though. The keycap was made from ABS... no, PBT. So I think it's much higher quality than Logitech. Granted, Razer frequently uses ABS in their
other ordinary keyboards. Oh! It's actually ABS! But upon first touching the keys, it feels really good. You can see the optical switches in the center. I'm told these are specifically
designed by Razer themselves. The LED seems to shine through from the bottom. As for what it feels like to press the keys... The metal pins move accordingly,
acting as stabilizers. That's unusual, no? So if you use it in its entirety, you could
program 32 different custom keys on this thing. Also, when pressing down on this key, I can feel it's keystroke duration is quite longer
compared to regular mechanical keyboards. What I'm saying is, it feels like it's going in deeper that other keyboard keys when I push down on it. So the special thing about all this, is that... ...instead of being able to map
one custom action per key, You could map two per key in this case.
Deep press, light press. It doesn't feel like it'd stick, so I'd... ...have to try it out to see. For now, I'm wondering,
"Would I ever put it to good use?" And here, there's a scroll wheel, like that of a mouse. These are LED indicators. Another button. And here, it's like an analog stick. It's a D-pad. Oh? This feels mechanical, too... ...It makes satisfying sounds when
I move it around. Should I say it feels like a green axis? Another interesting thing about this d-pad is that
instead of just Up/Down/Left/Right, ...it supports 8 different directions. Because you can use this as an analog stick, ...they say you can use this as
a substitute for your gamepad. This button here, you could smash down
as if you're rage-bashing on your keyboard. You could set it as the Return key, or
any other key that you wish. For example, when you're playing PUBG,
you could map the map key to this button. Open and close map. When using the scope. Oh? I think that'd be real comfortable. But here's what I'm disappointed about. Sure, I like the quality of the keycaps. Sure, I think they've really designed it well
with the Razer feel in mind. But the body part right here... Tthe body part, minus the other features? It seems kinda shoddy, given its price tag. Is black the way to go for Razer products? (*Installing) So this is the PC that I've recently built... ...here. I'll insert my Razer keyboard,
into my Razer case. The installation isn't difficult, as you can see. Just put it on your desk, and plug it in the USB port. Installing this, I'm realizing something. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using wireless,
but this little cable here is kind of bugging me. Given the price tag... It would've been better if
they went wireless. Once plugged in, I can see that the LED lights
are working perfectly. I feel there's nothing lacking in the LED front. Razer really knows their LED's it seems. However, since the LEDs are placed
on the topside of the keycaps, ...The LED light isn't really shining through
on the bottom, ...Yet, the topside is leaking light. Taking a closer look at this thumb button here, ...you can see the light leaking through on top. This D-Pad part doesn't have LEDs of its own. The light on the switch is... looking slightly cheap. I really should have gotten this in black, no? (*Typing test) (*It kind of feels like red linear switches.) (*I personally prefer blue switches when gaming,
so it feels a little too light to me.) (*This is a green-switch keyboard by Razer.
I prefer this over the blue-switch one.) (*But I've used it for so long... the LEDs are dead ;( ) (*Customizing) Once plugged in, the Razer app will launch.
And it'll show the Razer Tartarus Pro. Next to it is my PC case. It says "Key Mapping" here... Aha! I think you could use this to easily
map the keys. Now, it's on controller mode. Now, Key Map 1. Now, Joystick. And so on. That's how it's designed. What happens if I set this for PUBG? Aha! You can see if you hover your cursor over it.
So this is A... D... so basically, WASD. And Q. TAB / Caps Lock... Aha! So basically, it's the left side of the keyboard mapped on here. So I could control it like this. Ah, so this is the spacebar! App-wise, Razer's is much better than Logitech's! The aforementioned deep / light
pressure sensitivity can be set here. If you look at the pressure settings here,
the first trigger pressure is 2.4mm. 2nd trigger is 3.6mm. So the W key... I've set the default as W, ...and I've assigned the number "2" to be
typed upon long-pressing this key. Light press... It types "W." Now, if I long-press... It writes the number "2." Since the stroke depth is so deep,
they can add functions such as this. So that's a lot of work- Ahh!! So there's gotta be a definitive difference
between the default and long-press keystrokes
in order for it to work. These hypershifts are... You can think
of them as shortcuts. I've set button 1 as the hypershift trigger. I know it's a little confusing, but I've mapped
3 different keys to the W key. On light press... ...W. On deep press, the number 2. And if I activate hypershift here? It's a different input. To set all this up, it'll be very confusing and
it'll take a long time. ...But if I can set everything just right,
I think it'd be comfortable! For light settings... You can set the brightness. Like so. If you set it to "Reactive..." See how the LED's off right now? You can set it so that the keys only light up
when you press on them. And the color... ...You can set it the way you want, as well. "Audio meter" probably means that it'll
react to sound and light up. Like so. It's where it reacts to sounds. The one-handed keyboard by Razer! It seemed very cool, so I've bought one. Honestly, overall polish is lacking. But I think the App is very well-made and detailed. The Logitech app is good, sure.
But there's so many bugs that it's hard to use. Razer does a relatively better job. Now, I feel all that left is to play some games, ...and tweak the settings to my liking. When editing videos, I rarely use more than 20 keys. I mean, professional film makers might. I personally don't use more than 20 keys. So I'll try tweaking the settings for video editing. And also for gaming. And if I'm really satisfied, ...I'll be back with a follow-up video. So that's a wrap for today. 'Til next time... No, not "next time"...
I'll also post a video of my newly-built PC here... ...I'll show you how I built it. So this is the first time I'm using
this one-handed keyboard. Gaming with this makes me feel like
I've become a true game freak. You'll never get sidetracked from gaming
with this keyboard. However, it would've been nice if Razer provided
different profiles for different games. But if you're not that much of a hardcore gamer...
Or a hardcore gearhead... The process of mapping the keys itself... ...might scare you away.
