Title: RAZER TARTARUS
Post by: Quardah on Thu, 15 August 2013, 13:12:34: Guys i just recieved an e-mail from Razer with their new product.

The Tartarus. It's like an Orbweiver with one less row. (why would they go back to the Nostromo layout?)

It says "Membrane Keys For A Soft, Cushioned Touch".

Is it Topre?!? It damn looks like Topre!?!!!
