Razer Tartarus Pro Gets Refreshed: New Switches Boost One-Handed Gaming

Razer Tartarus Pro: What’s New?

The latest iteration of the one‑handed Razer Tartarus Pro arrives with subtle yet meaningful refinements that will please dedicated gamers.

Razer has swapped the previous mechanical switches for its next‑gen optical switches, promising faster response and a ↑ 10% reduction in actuation force, which translates to less finger fatigue during marathon sessions.

“The new switches feel like a whisper compared to the old ones,” says a longtime Tartarus user on Reuters.

Beyond the switches, the chassis receives a matte finish to curb glare, while the thumb cluster retains its programmable flexibility. Razer’s accompanying software now supports cloud‑based profile syncing, a feature previously limited to its flagship keyboards.

Early benchmarks from Bloomberg suggest latency improvements of under 1 ms, a marginal gain but one that could matter in high‑stakes e‑sports.
