    Razer break into keyboards with the Tarantula

    Razer really are branching out in the gaming market with their new Barracuda IAS and now a new gaming keyboard, the Tarantula.

    It's a tasty bit of kit so you'd best come see it over on HEXUS.gaming.

    Almost looks a little too square, comapred to the Saitek gameing keybords at least. Also what is that on the hand rest? Can we have the transparency up a little more on the watermarks please.

    Sounds like a nice piece of kit, lots of features (hopefully not too many to confuse things), would like to see how they fare in a review.

    I don't like the fact that around the arrow keys it only has delete and page up/down next to each other. I've never got used to WASD so my Eclipse is great with the three buttons above my fingers to use as necessary

    Sounds a lot like that recent logitech jobby without the silly lcd and the ghosting.
    If it's more reasonably priced i'm going to be very tempted. Macro buttons could save me a lot of shortcut headaches.

    looks very nice and simple, not to sure about the return key though, indeed i would love the macro shortcuts, would make some server admin tasks faster. Now if i could toggle the macros between sets of games

    Yup, though it looks nice, it's crap for an arrow key gamer like myself, the layout is poor

    TBH I've never found a game that has had more keys than I've needed, so why reinvent the wheel?

    Agreed I've not run out on keyboards with three function keys above the arrows. Its much less cluttered
