Rating: - not so spectacular.
It's an ok keyboard. the looks is great, laptop keys are nice. but the the lights on keys are a bit dim and the keyboard is plain black when not lit. I like looking at my systems when not in use. lol...
Rating: - A professional gamer's keyboard.
The first thing you should do when you buy this keyboard:
*Download and update the drivers (for Vista, especially).
*Download and update the firmware after updating the drivers.
If you don't do this you'll run into compatibility issues with Vista and the keyboard won't work until Windows loads (i.e. can't press keys for BIOS or Windows boot menu). The firmware fixes this issue and the drivers that come with the unit are not Vista compatible, so they fail to install properly. ... Read More
Rating: - Mammoth of a keyboard but not worth the price.
Bought this thing for full retail price about a year ago, and I don't feel it was worth the money. It is a huge keyboard and the software is pretty good. Probably best if you play FPS but for me, playing WOW, basically like any other keyboard. Its not backlit so you might want to look for that feature. You can plug your headphones directly into it which is cool. Anyway it is broke right now at first the space bar stopped working and now most of the keys don't work. I contacted customer support by email ... Read More
Rating: - Decent gaming keyboard
The Tarantula tries to be a great gaming keyboard but it falls a bit short of the line.
One of my biggest problems with this keyboard is the fact that Razer went to all the trouble to put backlighting effects on some parts of the keyboard but couldn't be bothered to backlight all the keys. There are plenty of keyboards out there that do, and when I'm playing games in the dark I sometimes wish I had.
Oh, but I could get the light attachment you say? I could I suppose, but that ... Read More
Rating: - CONS For Razer
I don't see the cons of a Tarantula keyboard enough in print. If I did I would not have bought mine. I pluged my nice 2.1 speakers into the keyboard and moving my keyboard broke my cord. Nice speakers no more. I do not plug my expensive replaced logitech z-2300 into my keyboard any longer. The keyboard is illuminated but not the keys most used: w,a,s,d,z,x,c,f,g,r,1,2,3,4,5,6,shift,control. They have a place for a raised light to sit. Like I want a lamp for my keyboard. Next time I buy a gaming keyboard ... Read More
