I'm trying to get a better gaming setup now that I have a fancy new gaming desktop, and I'm considering trying out a Tartarus (I have some nerve and mobility issues that make using my pinky difficult, and I'm hoping a keypad might help a bit with keymappings). I use a Razer Naga mouse, which is one of the only reasons I can even play some games, but I still find that sometimes it isn't enough buttons when I'm unable to click things like ctrl or shift with my pinky.

So basically, I'm trying to figure out what makes the most sense for a keyboard to go along with it. I guess my main question is this: what keyboard size makes the most sense, TLK or 60% mini?

I can say with certainly that a full sized keyboard will be too large for my desk setup (pictured here), so I defintiely need a smaller form factor. I was looking at the Hunstman or the Blackwidow line, since they have both of these options, but other Razer keyboards might be better for me, I'm honestly not sure. I don't do any kind of crazy pro gaming, mostly games like World of Warcraft and various RPGs (Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect, etc.), as well as some more basic cozy games.

I recently purchased the Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless with Yellow switches from Amazon for Rs.4000. Previously, I was using the AntEsports MK3200 with Blue switches. After weeks of research and increasing my budget from Rs.3000 to Rs.4000, I decided to try something different, and I have mixed feeling about this

The first thing I noticed is how incredibly smooth and responsive this keyboard is, so much so that my fingers sometimes struggle to keep up with its speed. The Razer Yellow switches are among the best linear switches out there, they offer a smooth, almost silent keystroke. That said, I did find that while most keys are whisper-quiet, the spacebar and backspace keys still make a noticeable sound. It’s a minor drawback that slightly disrupts the silent experience, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me.

One aspect to consider is that the keyboard comes with non-swappable Yellow switches, and the keycaps are made of ABS. PBT keycaps would have been much better.

Ergonomically, the keyboard is a bit on the tall side, which will force you to use the included plastic stands to make it more comfortable angle. Once you adjust for that, the keyboard feels almost like home. If you’re coming from a non-linear switch setup, it will take you crazy amount of

I’m still on the fence about whether the “thock” of this keyboard can rival the alternatives like the Aula f75 or RK keebs. For my typing style, though, I rarely hit the keys hard enough for it to become a significant factor.

(I really miss the numpad from my previous keyboard).
