Ballistics Report

Pros

Powerful and extensive software program
The UI is easy to use and offers up a ton of options for gamers who really want to get in the nitty gritty of their keyboard layouts and macros.

Options to remove keys to replace them with icon keys
For people who don’t want to remember letters for their button commands, offering the option to replace them with easy to recognize icon keys is a nice touch.

Onboard USB and headphone-microphone ports
Why can’t all keyboards have these?



Cons

Large size
If space is at a premium on your desk, the Tarantula may take up too much of it for your tastes

Glowing blue lights
They are eerie to look at in the dark but not necessary for your gaming.

Future BattleDock support unknown
Razer has announced a light and web cam but we rather have the iPod dock they are supporting with the business version of the keyboard.

Price
Even with all of the options the UI has, $99.99 is a lot of green for this kind of product

Back! Keyboard design     Final Verdict Next!
