• 10 additional Macro keys with extra symbol keys included

• 95 programmable keys on the Razer Tarantula allow configuration of customized keystrokes and macro commands for optimal control and flexibility

• Keys can be programmed without drivers and up to five different gaming profiles which can be stored on the keyboard itself which makes moving from one tournament to another easy. The onboard memory capability powered by Razer Synapse™, which was first featured in the multi-award winning Razer Copperhead™ gaming mouse.

• Full Multi-media center keys to control media programs like Windows Media Player

• Ambient illumination light source runs underneath the keys, enabling the keys to be adequately lit for gaming in low or no light conditions
