Overview

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.

I've had this keyboard for a few years now and it is still by far the best available out there. The macro keys down the side, the fast profile switch button, the fact you can fully program every key on the keyboard in the multiple profiles...

At a recent LAN I took my full rig rather than a laptop. The Tarantula with a DeathAdder on an eXactMat beside it were an imposing sight from the start and set the tone for what became a very enjoyable few days of gaming.

Extremely fast response rate of the keyboard, combined with the anti-ghosting allowed me to perform amazing actions that few others were able to with their normal keyboard. Hearing the beeps from PC speakers was not uncommon. Throw in the macro and suddenly you have a very powerful winning advantage. I'm looking forward to doing even more damage now that my Mamba has arrived.

Only thing that is disappointing is the lack of BattleDock devices. The BattleLight is great and I won't give it up easily, but it'd be nice to see Razer make use of this feature further. Maybe even allow me to use it as a charging dock for my Mamba? (hint hint)

Overall, I love the Tarantula. Its very fast, looks amazing and has features that have not been surpassed by any other keyboard out there. A new keyboard would have to be something pretty special to make me give up my Tarantula.

Im looking for a new keyboard and I get decide what to get!? The Tarantula and Lycosa are two great keyboards! The Lycosa has the style I want and the key are great because I game from dusk till dawn. But the Tarantula has the extra macro keys that I need to give me the edge! What to do!?
