Razer pls the G13 is better in every way, you could at least add mechanical keys to justify the price

well even my Saitek Pro Gamer Command Unit (almost a nostalgic piece got it in end 2005 :D... it's from before they got bought by Crapcatz ... eh... i mean Madcatz) is better than the Tartarus (and less expensive ... )

if we go on price argument it's better to not talk about the Orbweaver ... :laugh:

ooohhh goody good ... it has a TPU review from 2007 :D

the only mean to get a good Tartarus/orbweaver/Nostromo is to get the Belkin N52 version ... (you know ... the one that got ... oh well ... that doesn't have a Razer programming software like the N52te)

What use is this to me? I am left handed and use the mouse with my left hand. So I need this in a right hand version. - Doesn't seem to exist. Fury!!!

Failed not left and right handed and going by the look of it they could of done that, however the dam thing don't have enough keys for Arma which i know not every one play it and shit but i do and i be totally crippled by this, so even if i was a right handed gamer this would still be a total fail which it probably will do.

And then there's Razer Synapse EEK.


Never mind the crazy assed price tag this will have which they surely could of put many more buttons on it for what you pay for.
