The Razer Tarantula™ Gaming Keyboard is the first definitive keyboard created For Gamers, By Gamers™. A cutting-edge companion to Razer's suite of gaming peripherals, it is specially engineered to empower competitive gamers with seamless control and unparalleled flexibility.

Anti-Ghosting Capability
With the anti-ghosting capability of the Razer Tarantula™, you can press up to an unprecedented 10 buttons at one go without the "ghosting" effect (For a conventional keyboard, signal failure occurs when three to four keys are pressed simultaneously). This means more commands can now be executed at any one time.
Onboard Profile Memory
With a 32KB onboard memory – Powered by Razer Synapse™ - up to five onboard profiles for different games can be stored. So no matter which LAN party you go to, all you need to do is bring your Razer Tarantula™ along, and you're ready to play.
A Keytop That is Eight Times as Responsive
The Razer Tarantula™ is the only gaming keyboard on the market with 1000Hz Ultrapolling™. This means a delay of only 1ms between the keystroke and the key's reaction, as compared to that of 125Hz / 8ms found in conventional keyboards.
  • Anti-ghosting capability for up to 10 keys
  • 32KB Razer Synapse™ onboard memory

    Using this keyboard for about two months now and have to say that this is an EXCELLENT keyboard,u get a lot of features and the quality is excellent, better than the G15 certainly.

    Also the keys are just wonderful to type on, IBM standard keys!

    Love this keyboard. Everything works and looks very nice. Keys are very soft and responsive. The thing that attracted me the most about this keyboard is the anti-ghosting feature that I had a lot of trouble with when it came to playing games. My other keyboards would just beep at me like I was crazy for pressing 3-5 keys at the same time.

    The dock port at the top looks a little weird when empty thought. There's just a small hole in a cover and doesn't look quite right by itself. I personally don't find any uses for a webcam or light when playing games. If anything, I'd love to have some sort of LCD device that would be able to be plugged in for game stats kinda like the screen the Logitech G15 does. Maybe even expandability to allow more than 1 plug in so that you can have 2 LCDs or 1 LCD and a light.

    All in all a great product. Just needs more options for the dock at the top of the keyboard.

    This is the best keyboard I've ever bought. It is well worth the $100. Makes gaming so much easier, with no lock up of keys or commands. Plus i love the feature of saving programs or any command in the 10 customizable keys.

    I went from having a basic $12 Dell keyboard to this when building my new system, and i must say I am impressed, it was bigger than i thought, and alot bigger than my old keyboard, but i love it, the keys themselves aren't spaced out or in ridiculous positions to press, the F keys are nice and sleek and close to the number keys (key binds in WoW) makes it nice and easy to use during pvp. and just the response time of them is awesome compared to what I've used in the past, friends G15 and what not.

    After getting this i spent $130 AUD on the razer destructor special edition mouse pad just to have it to go with the keyboard, and am considering replacing my G9 mouse with a razer one.

    I love this keyboard, because it is very sleek and smooth, your fingers glide over the keyboard. It is a little bigger than most keyboards and may take some time to get used to but it is defiantly worth it due to the extra macro keys and the quick response it has as u type.

    Great keyboard, the action of the keys is so smooth and quiet its like nothing i have ever used before. The Keytop is also so responsive that i never have problems getiing out of the way of those pesky shovelers in DoD:S. Another awesome product guys, keep up the good work!

    Alright, I recently purchased this product, with 3 day select. The shipping for ground was pricy as it was, but I think it was well worth the extra 2 bucks to get it here on Halloween! So far I LOVE this keyboard. I love having all these controls at the tips of my fingers. The feel of the keys are great, although sometimes you may need to push a little harder. Took a little getting used to, since I switched from a standard Dell QWERTY keyboard, and the keys are just a bit smaller it seems. Would recommend to anyone! Its a great keyboard!

    I must say, I'm rather impressed with the products from Razer Gaming. Yesterday, baby decided that my Tarantula and Copperhead needed to be covered with a full can of rootbeer. Opened the keyboard last night and wiped most of it out (mainly off the circuit board and let it sit overnite. After allowed to dry, both the keyboard and mouse are working perfectly again. By perfectly, I mean all keys and ports are functioning. They still stick a little bit, but that's because I haven't popped the keys themselves off to clean them yet.

    Let's see a G15 survive that. BUY THIS. You won't regret it.

    9/25/08: 2 days later, little one did it again. This time he finally hit enough at once (he poured an entire can into the main keyset) and arc'd a lot of keys into misfiring. All in all, it still held up VERY well and still recommend it to anyone.
