Razer Tarantula Review

[tatteredundies]

That was the 11" dimension of the paper sheet. Not 8". It is a big keyboard.

[Fatmouse25]

Sounds sort of like Lockergnome. Eh, to be fair YT always messes up the audio to a pitch higher usually.

[MadCrokodile1]

nice rewiew!!

[MadCrokodile1]

uhm

[blonde198821]

Great video. I know this video is old but i'm a fan of your vids. You know what your talking about lol some ppl don't.

[martinis5]

"...so when you press L3, now it wil open internett backgamon... Hurray!..."

I love that part xD

[kohan69]

the sound extension completely fucks up the audio signal, the lights are annoying, the keys are small and its too flat

it sucks ass imho

[lmYourPapi]

[AiBuster]

1 mroe question is how do i make css a macro i cant seem to find the exe for it?

[AiBuster]

few questions if i plug my death adder into the keyboards usb hud will it affect my preformance? (the huds are 1.1) and why are there 2 usb male port connections for the keyboard?

[Graftin2006]

Is the keyboard loud or is it quite like a laptop keyboard?

[dfhfdefdecf]

"Everything it says it does it does." very informative

[LilFaerl]

blablabla, if that was all you heard maybe you have problems with streaming...

[iilimato18]

Resetting to factory default : To reset the Razer Tarantula™ Gaming Keyboard to factory default, press and hold the Profile Button for 10 seconds while the Razer Tarantula™ is connected to a powered on computer.

[AlbinGummeson]

[etherealeyes]

55cm

[AlbinGummeson]

very good rewie the best i seen on this keyboard one question : what should i buy tarantula or g15 i have a razer mantis control and a deathadder so i think it would loook best with a tarantula ;)

[pahoresyavash]

Tarantula is the best I am going to get it this month.

[WHiPCPL]

it has 2 usb ports and on the other end 2 usb connectors to the computer do i have to use both of them?

[callsignHUSKER]

[xXShinigamiKingXxINC]

ummmmmm, soooo, cool, great video

[hayzai]

bobbycatacutan : LOL THAT WAS HILARIOUS SERIOUSLY

[bobbycatacutan]

if you erased all the time you said "um" in your video would make your video so much shorter rofl

[DARKSTAR13SPENCER]

do all the bottons glow?

[spindlerat]

No. Only the macro keys and a few others.

[leckkaisen]

jus asking theinfiniteone are u still using the keyboard and if so isit still working perfectly?

[TheRelentlessAssault]

wait isn't standard printer paper 8.5x11? stupid thing to say..but yeah that bugged me... any way yeah just bought this for 25 bucks on ebay... gonna be bad ass

[exace]

Standard printer paper size is A4. ;)

[ManifestPanda]

[flashbang217]

[yeeeeeeeehawww]

damn i want one

[razersbest]

Great Video!!

what do you guys think?!?

Lycosa or Tarantula?!?

[FullChibiAlchemist]

lols "informative information" xD i like that kind of information. Awesome keyboard i can't chose whether i want the Lycosa or the Tarantula :(

[BobbieGarcia]

lmaooooooooo hahaha u made my day homie

[SumAznKid215]

Sorry let me Reprase that, Does ALL The Keys GLow? like wasd abcd ects.

[ChristopherLucky]

unfortunately no :(. only the macro. however an optional add on called the razer battle light can be installed into the battle dock. This should as stated by razer at least illuminate the main typing area :).

[SumAznKid215]

hey i got this baby 2 days ago, so far im very satisfied, i love everything about this board except some minor cons here and there. but so far im loving it, just wish it would have back lit, i think they made that battle dock so they could just make more money,

the board itself could get some getting use to since the keys are kinda crowed together abit, drivers are easy to use, but i cant really get it working fully on CS since it doesnt do the right operations, and damn can this attract dust!

[SumAznKid215]

Does it GLOW???

[babediM]

umm, umm, umm aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa im getting crazy xD

[3l3]

hummm dam man u say it like 400 times :D:D:D

[anon321]

Great review, just interested, what desk is that? -- I'm looking to replace my tiny little cramped case, any suggestions would be appreciated :)

[rickboy89]

AHMMM

[sexymeg1988]

Are the keys soft and also quiet?

[kingslayer06]

In my oppinion yes.

[sexymeg1988]

that's cool.

[jaysonrules]

Ahmmm... hummm... ehmmm...

[gunsnroses123456789]

too bad they don't sell this stuff at like best buy or future shop

[jtcodeman]

uhm.. they do sell this at best buy, i just bought this keyboard at best buy for $18.99. it's on clearance at some of the stores, so if you want one you might wanna check it out.

[gunsnroses123456789]

for 20 bucks???? i don't belive you where do u live?

[EDMWSG]

BULLSH1T

[Aydin91]

UHMM uhmmm

guy do you know were you talking about?

uhm UHM uhm Uhm

this sucks

[jaysonrules]

I agree!

[Nitroouszak]

ehhm uhhh ahh! yeah too much of it-.-

[jaysonrules]

I agree!

[MonkeyMan4life]

he is stumbling too much -_-

[age0fchaos]

i like ur reviews but i hate razers, u should make some on like logitech or sumthing

[ColdfireNL]

Why because razer makes good gaming stuff?

[mangie222]

rzer is better

[CartoonGraveyard]

Good review ty for this.

Just wondering if after long use the text on the keys still stays on.

Ive had a zboard for about a year now and quite a few of the actual text on the keys are starting to rub off.

[OPFFIX]

Great review!

[Habbola]

uhm.. what i think iabout this vieo uhm i like it a little bit uhm but to much ahms xD

[insertgenericnameher]

He's a gamer. We aren't known for our talking abilities.

[killson]

UMMMM!, UHHH!, AHH?!, wtf, that shits annoying

[ilovedragons]

Wow...he does use "umm" and "ahhs". good review, I might purchase this keyboard.

[hellgatezz]

Great! Im gonna go get one!

[thh2410]

i always use my keyboard feet, so without I don't feel comfortable.

But I don't take books to LAN parties as I said ^^.

[ClarinetProductions]

the light thing is stupid, why would i play i the dark. but watevr its not yr falt by the way good review

[naryanr]

not really a great review, stumbling over words, lots of ummms, ahhhhs and pauses, not to mention over 20 minutes.  "actually the thing that impressed me the most was the box........"

[Ryukikun]

Let see you do an bother one. He done an nice review every body stumble on words.

[hellgatezz]

I totally agree...

[tsaifood]

The review actually got very painful to watch because of the amount of Umms and Ahhs in it. So on the 7th minute, I went back to the beginning, counted all the Umms and Ahhs, and came up with 256. If you were wondering, yes, I was bored

[morgantear]

is it the tarantula that has the spill drainage system under the keys?

[thh2410]

well - I don't to any kind of books at LAN parties, so that does not work. But very nice video and good speach - you spoke slow and explained everything in every detail, that was nice work.

[aznlazyboi]

You can always just tuck a book or a stack of paper under ur keyboard. Works like a charm =)

[thh2410]

I'll probably NOT make one, cause I don't have that keyboard, but I had like to know if the keyboard has some kind of feet with which you can make it stand a a higher level.

[ClarinetProductions]

im not sure feet bothers me anyway

[thh2410]

well - as you said the spezial buttons are mostly for FPS games. But I'd like to know if I can also configure the Tarantula for strategy games like Starcraft Broodwar. Can I also put up some kind of little "Steps" in order to make the keyboard be positionated under an angle or sth like that?

Btw: Greetings from Germany

[jshaw995]

Yes, it has the fold-out feet things.

[aznlazyboi]

Currently have a g11 and the only thing I'm looking for in a keyboard now, is it's performance and not all the lil flashy glowing media, macro, extra stuff(although a nice addition). So me buying a turrantula lies solely a you response =)

[aznlazyboi]

Question for theinfinateone or anyone who have used the keyboard for awile and able to answer. Did anyone notice a difference in response when moving around in..lets say CS? For example, when your strafing. If yes how much of a difference? How did it feel? Anything big?

[PhantomPirate666]

umm err ummm your a fucking idiot umm err umm err.

[alia83444]

well why dont you make a review of the keyboard? and we'll see if its better

[FanatiCX]

no it doesnt lol

[bu7aisin]

stop saying um

its annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[SublimiTay]

Sweet vid dude! i think i saw a sausage up your shorts :P xD. Im considering getting this keyboard but there is no backlighting! zomg! considering backlighting is essential at LANs etc. When does the battle light come out and does it shine over all the keys accross the keyboard? please answer!! <3

[bu7aisin]

yep it does

[FanatiCX]

i lie the saitek xd

[bu7aisin]

look at the new logitech red g15

[nikeplektrum]

About 12 minutes in it all goes wrong.

I don't want someone reviewing a keyboard that doesn't know that IBM model M keyboards are superior to a lot of these "gaming keyboards".

[jman51]

I think i counted about 100 "uhhms"

[bu7aisin]

more

[k0d0]

uuhhhmmm :DDD

[mcbenl]

why would u want a gaming keybord...i have a razer mouse but a key bord wtf

[nikeplektrum]

It's nice to have the macro buttons on your keyboard. I hope that cheaper keyboards get them soon.

[virusghost101]

lmao,i got that gay keyboard.but my birthdays on the 20th of next month,and i gettin a shitload f razer stuff!!!!

[fsriotman]

yeah saying ermmm all the time pissed me off nice review but mad it boring with all the urrrrmmmmm uhmmmm ermmmmm

[berzzerker]

stop saying uhmmm ahh :p

[marclaton]

I liked this preview, I will buy my tarantula tomorrow! =D

Congratulations user " TheInfiniteOne ", your preview is excelent. And the others Razer products previews are too.

Thx,

[ShadyPain]

so boring :S

[Blackhawk74]

brilliant in depth review

[krilj]

This would go really well with the deathadder :D

I agree with InneKatten you say "uuuh" too much.

[rogue10000]

i boycotted razer after i bought the HP-1 headphones, i should have done more research as all i ever see on the net regarding razer audio reviews/feedback is terrible.

[L1Pe]

I agree with you...uuhmmm...InneKatten...uu­hmmm too much uuuhmm

[dhk19]

could u message me and tell me if a can use the hot keys in win amp when i want 2 turn the volume up or switch song

[jnlh330]

hey what is that shirt you're wearing? looks interesting

[TheInfiniteOne]

It's a Quiksilver shirt. :)

[callgray]

G15 FTW!!!

[0smodius]

'The keyboard is around eight inches long' Nice :P

In response to what you said below, are you sure the USB ports on the keyboard are 2.0? I read in a review that they're 1.1.

Definitely a sexy keyboard, <3 the glossy black.

[TheInfiniteOne]

You are correct the keyboard only provides 1.1 ports not 2.0 as I stated. It was a bit of misinformation on my part. Thanks for correcting me. :)

[InneKatten]

there is much " uumh " in ur film...

[TheInfiniteOne]

Yes this has been brought up before. :)

Watch the newer reviews as it is not so prevalent.

[kukendin]

Nice keyboard :D

[Twisted818]

51.4(W)x2.5(H)x22(D)cm

21.2"(W) x 1"(H)x8.7"(D)

[TheInfiniteOne]

TY David :)

[IamGeoff]

how big is it? can you give me the dimensions?

[TheInfiniteOne]

I ill try and find the exact dimensions. But I can give you a rough size. It is about an inch and a half tall (from desk). About two pieces of standard printer paper wide (while keyboard is facing longways). And from armrest to over top of where battedock is) its about 8 inches.

I hope that will suffice for now. I will find the exact dimensions somewhere online. And should I not be able to I'll measure it myself.

[prOgrenadier]

so, i hear there is a battle light... where does the light come from? and do you know how long this keyboard it?

[TheInfiniteOne]

The battlelight is designed to be plugged in straight to the battledock. I'll answer your second question under this one since the person underneath asked the same question. :)

[PulseAndrew]

awesome, i'm ordering this aswell as the deathadder on sunday =]

[TheInfiniteOne]

Glad to hear it. You will love them both. Definitely rack up the body count on games with them. :D

[neclord1000]

Proud to be one of the first italian tarantula user!

[pizzaboy003]

hey my wist always hurt from being on the keyboard and will this keyboard prevent that b/c i c that it has a ramp thingy u kno

[TheInfiniteOne]

The keyboard itself is very ergonomically fit. It will help with that. Overall the keyboard is very comfortable.

[davechadwick]

Fantastic review, good work man :-) Ordered mine a minute ago. Should be here tomorrow morning!

[TheInfiniteOne]

Awesome! You will definitely love it. Thanks a lot for the kind words. :)

[shySileNceR]

Really good review man, i was looking for more info on this keyboard and to see all the features and this did it man. Thanks for the vid.

[TheInfiniteOne]

Glad you enjoyed it buddy :)

[rvi5ion]

This Keyboard is 20% off onsale at CompUSA for $79.99, really good Keyboard ^.^. I'd picked it over the Logitech G15 that is also onsale at CompUSA for $59.99.

[ReGo001]

two usb ports for a key board?!? i hope those extra usb ports on the board are 2.0

[TheInfiniteOne]

They are :)

[Se3k]

1 Question can u put the keyboard in the usb? cause my comp only got an usb opening for keyboards =/

[TheInfiniteOne]

Yes it is a USB keyboard. But if you mean by only using 1 of the USB plugs in the computer you won't get full functionality.

[aackz]

W00t already got this keyboard and everything he said about it is absolutely true, get it, you'll surely imporve you FPs skils.

[wiglebienie]

really good review man, just please try to stop saying "uum" every other word lol, it make it hard to listen to for that long

lol

but still

thanks for the great in depth review

[TheInfiniteOne]

Yeah. I'm definitely going to redeem myself on the net review. Still getting used to everything on camera :)

[craigy251]

pretty good review, too long i think and too many ummm..., but good review

[madchevy]

what mic do you us can i know i want one

[TheInfiniteOne]

I just use a generic logitech headset from Walmart currently :)

[madchevy]

its a good

[cabron03]

omg.. lol.. makes me wanna buy it but its still abit expensive :(

[TheInfiniteOne]

Yeah I know the price is a bit of an issue. But then you have to consider the price of manufacturing it, and the high quality components that go into building the keyboard. But it definitely weighs out when you get one. Look on the bright side Christmas is just around the corner :D

[shinigamigeil]

i have brought the razer tarantula yesterday i got some issue's with the keyboard...i cant use Turbo button for FPS games..

[TheInfiniteOne]

Well that maybe because most FPS games don't have a "turbo" feature. Did you have any other issues with it?

[shinigamigeil]

hmm i can only activate it ingame ? or normally too ?

[Twisted818]

Awesome review nice job.

[Sveind]

Good work, man, really long review was falling asleep on some parts lol j/k no really, it was really neat honestly made me wanna buy that keyboard, because mine is just like the one you said we should get rid off XD. I liked how you showed the control panel for the keyboard, explaining how to use it. Good work

[0CEL0T]

[CONT'D] About the time thing, no need to apologize because your time is well spent. It's not like you are fiddling around for the 20 minutes, you are showing each and every feature of this keyboard and thats what we want to see. So altogether great work. Came out great. Keep up the good work and hope to see more. 2 of 2

[0CEL0T]

Good work, man. This is a great review. Over the course of the video I only found a few flaws. One was the bad quality of the camera at times, but you addressed that. The other thing was the 'uh's and the 'uhm's, but those are natural so it's no big deal. Other than that this is an excellent review. You went very in depth and I loved how you had the multiple approaches at explaining the features [webcam then fraps]. 1 of 2

[Toolhead424]

nice review

[Elfshadow99]

Man this keyboard look amazing.This review really so why it rocks.Hope to get one for christmas or I'll to save up to get this keyboard.

[limit760]

Wow! this is a very nice review it goes soo in depth more than the other review i saw about this keyboard.

Im really going to consider buying one of these keyboards.

[x1x50Jayx1x]

Well, after seeing this I am going to buy one.. I will order it tomorrow from my favorite site tiger direct.. which beats newegg's price by 10 bucks. and to matt if that copperhead ever tears up on ya get the diamondback plasma. Great Review. would rate it above A+ if possible.

Amazing review! Really looks awesome! I really wish I had a Razer Tarantula and a Tempest. That would be godly. But an excellent review indeed. Really descriptive and just awesome.

I loved how you really went in-depth with the control panel. I think after seeing this review, a
