Operating the Razer Tartarus Pro
Analog-Optical Key Switches
The Razer Tartarus Pro utilizes Analog-Optical Key Switches. These switches detect how far down a key is pressed, allowing for scaled inputs. For example, a light press might initiate walking, while a full press triggers a sprint. This provides a level of control similar to an analog joystick.

Adjustable Actuation
Customize the actuation point of each key through the Razer Synapse software. This allows you to set how sensitive each key is, from a rapid 1.5mm to a deeper 3.6mm, to match your preferred playstyle or task requirements.

To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean your Razer Tartarus Pro. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For keycaps, you may gently remove them for deeper cleaning if necessary, but exercise caution to avoid damage.
