The
Tarantula has 10 dedicated macro keys that you can program to perform a wide variety of tasks, from reloading your gun during a deathmatch to jumping to a part of the screen while playing RTS games. It also features an anti-ghosting capability. What that essentially means is that you may press multiple keys at once and have all of them register on your PC; on most PC keyboards more than four simultaneous key presses results in a signal failure and they fail to register.
If backlit keys are your thing, you may have to look elsewhere as the Tarantula lacks them. It makes up for it by being a thick and wide keyboard with oodles of space. If you have meaty paws and the desk space to spare you might be all about it. It comes with a comfortable but permanently attached wrist rest, so if you don't like them or have already have a fave that's a mark against the Tarantula. The Razer logo flashes on the keyboard and gives it a vaguely menacing look.
