Rogue Prince of Persia Free Anniversary Update

5 days ago

News, Geek News, Windows PC News

Today, Ubisoft unveiled the one-year anniversary update for The Rogue Prince of Persia™. Released in August 2025, the roguelite became one of Ubisoft’s best rated launches, with 90% positive Steam reviews achieved through consistent engagement with the roguelite community during development. A year later, thanks to Evil Empire’s efforts and commitment, The Rogue Prince of Persia delivers a unique anniversary update made up of new modes and mechanics, dedicated improvements, and even companions. Releasing today, it is available on all platforms.

This update introduces new arenas, including Combat Zones where players must battle waves of increasingly challenging enemies to advance through each level. To help navigate these encounters, players can now freeze and slow enemies using a new crowd-control mechanic. The update also adds a dedicated Speedrun Mode, challenging players to optimize their movement and routes while competing against built-in timers. Alongside this, the new Parkour Mode further emphasizes wall-running, traversal, and agility, offering a deeper focus on movement-based gameplay.

Modes are not the only ones which are multiplied, but challenges as well. Daily Awakening is a new, rotating system of daily runs, featuring shifting modifiers and specific requirements to test players’ adaptability and offer consistent progression. The anniversary update also features the new high stakes, risk and reward Nyamtur Trials, that are scattered across biomes offering advanced trials in exchange for legendary loot. Finally, more challenging, fresh, high-difficulty puzzles and combat rooms were developed to push player mechanics to their limits.

To improve the flow state of parkour, pacing and difficulty were adjusted, increasing the players’ experience as initial biomes are now shortened and paired with higher overall challenges. As part of the improvements made to the game, the team also worked on a complete overhaul of the final Palace biome. It was redesigned and restructured to be significantly more challenging and better suited for the high-power, late-game builds players possess by the end of a run.

This anniversary update finally introduces players to the brand-new slingshot weapon and a new trap-like tool, to dispatch and dodge enemies. Companion animals make their official way into the fictional rendition of Ctesiphon, the capital of the Persian Empire. They will accompany the Prince while offering unique passive or active combat and exploration support.

With faster and more adventurous gameplay modes, precise acrobatics, refined design improvements, demanding new challenges, and enhanced levels and environments, the 1st Anniversary Update celebrates The Rogue Prince of Persia at its best. The update delivers the game’s strongest blend of movement and traversal with added depth, speed, and freedom.

Razer Tartarus V2 Pro Review: Half a Keyboard and Double the Mayhem

5 days ago

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News, Peripheral Review, Peripherals News, Reviews

Standard keyboards were never built for intense gaming. Fingers must stretch across staggered keys, wrists bend at stiff angles, and critical hotkeys sit marooned across distant rows. The new Razer Tartarus V2 Pro arrives at $199.99 as a sharp, unapologetic fix for that desktop chaos. By slicing away the entire right side of a traditional deck, this one-handed keypad concentrates 31 programmable controls right under a single hand. Packed with Razer’s Gen-2 analog optical switches, an anti-drift magnetic thumbstick, and true 8000 Hz polling, it delivers blistering speed and deep customization.

Here is the core verdict: for massive multiplayer online raid leaders juggling twenty spells and first-person shooter fans chasing rapid strafes, this hardware is a genuine game changer. It offers outstanding tactile speed and welcome wrist relief. Yet, this remains a hyper-focused tool for dedicated enthusiasts. It carries a steep price, demands patience during software setup, and swallows a solid patch of desk room.

Does every PC gamer need a separate command keypad? Not by a long shot. But for players who spend countless hours managing crowded hotkey bars or seeking every physical edge in competitive arenas, this bold device refines a legendary concept into its sharpest form yet.

Nostromo Lineage and Modern Tech

Dedicated gaming keypads have a colorful history on the PC desk. Back in the day, the Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad n50 proved that PC control did not have to feel like typing a work report. Razer later adopted that lineage, turning it into the Orbweaver and the Tartarus. The Tartarus V2 Pro marks the first major refresh in years, and the mechanical polish stands out right away.

At first glance, a two-hundred-dollar half-keyboard looks like pure excess. Why add another gadget when a keyboard already sits right there? The secret lies in spatial freedom. Moving WASD controls and keybinds onto a compact, angled pad clears massive room on the desk. Low-DPI mouse players can swing their arms freely across broad desk pads without banging into a number pad or arrow keys.

Razer also upgraded the materials across the board. The main keys now wear textured doubleshot PBT caps that resist finger shine through sweaty summer tournaments. Under the hood, individual switch stems come pre-lubricated from the factory, seated over dense sound-dampening foam. Keypresses do not rattle or clatter; they produce a clean, deep sound that will not wake the entire house during late-night dungeon runs.

Wrist Break

Ergonomics make or break a specialized peripheral. Older keypads had a frustrating habit: they locked hands into fixed plastic contours. If a desk sat too high or an arm rested at a slight angle, the wrist suffered from nasty aches within an hour.

The Tartarus V2 Pro fixes this flaw with a fully adjustable wrist rest. The palm rest slides back and forth to fit long or short fingers. Even better, it pivots left and right. By rotating smoothly on a central mount, the rest adapts to natural forearm angles rather than forcing the wrist to sit straight.

Gamers fighting chronic joint pain or wrist stiffness will welcome this design with open arms. The palm rests softly on the pad, the knuckles stay arched without strain, and every primary key sits right where fingers expect it. It feels less like grasping hard plastic and more like resting on a custom armrest.

Fast Switches and Resets

Under the PBT keycaps lie 27 keys driven by Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 hardware. Traditional mechanical keyboards use copper leaf contacts that slam together. Optical switches use tiny beams of light. As the key goes down, an optical sensor measures the exact amount of light passing through the stem.

This optical tech creates two distinct perks:

Custom Actuation: Players can set the trigger point for every key anywhere between 0.1 mm and 4.0 mm. Forward and side movement keys can trigger at a hair-trigger 1.0 mm for twitch reactions, while emergency shields or grenade tosses can require a full 3.8 mm bottom-out press to prevent costly accidental clicks.
Rapid Trigger Reset: Standard switches must climb all the way past a static reset point before registering a second click. Rapid Trigger throws out static points. The switch resets the split second it begins moving back up, even by a tiny 0.1 mm.

In rapid combat, Rapid Trigger feels like pure witchcraft. Stutter-stepping and jiggle-peeking corners in tactical shooters happen with absolute speed. Because optical switches lack bouncy metal contacts, debounce delay drops to zero. The switches are also immune to magnetic interference and carry a massive rating of 100 million clicks.

That Magnetic Stick

The thumb cluster is where Razer took its boldest design gamble. Older Tartarus models used a “clicky” directional d-pad. The V2 Pro swaps that out for a full-sized Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) thumbstick. TMR sensors track stick position by measuring magnetic fields. No physical contacts rub together, which means stick drift, the bane of modern controllers using HAL effect sensors, is completely eliminated.

The package includes three swappable thumbstick caps: short concave, long concave, and short convex domes. Three dedicated side buttons wrap around the stick, giving the thumb immediate control over jumps, crouching, and voice toggles.

Honestly, there is a small catch worth noting. At launch, the TMR stick functions as an eight-way or four-way directional input rather than a true 360-degree analog stick. Razer has stated that native analog stick emulation will arrive in a future update. In the meantime, mapping the stick to WASD or radial inventory wheels works brilliantly. Flicking the stick up to reload or right to swap weapons quickly becomes second nature.

The keypad also packs Razer’s Advanced Input Control suite. This includes Snap Tap, which prioritizes the newest keypress between two directional inputs without lifting the first. Competitive players should keep in mind that games like Counter-Strike 2 ban automated Snap Tap. But for casual shooters and MMOs, Snap Flex (triggering different actions on key press versus key release) and Dynamic Keystroke (chaining up to four commands on one key stroke) make long spell rotations feel effortless.

Synapse Magic

Razer Synapse serves as the nerve center for all this hardware muscle. Through the software, gamers can rebind every button, build complex multi-action macros, and activate HyperShift to double the total command count. Storing up to 24 keymaps across onboard profiles lets players hop from World of Warcraft to Marvel Rivals with a tap of the side profile button.

Here’s the thing: setup feels like serious homework. Tuning 31 buttons, setting individual actuation depths, and testing Rapid Trigger points takes real patience. Expect to spend an entire afternoon tweaking profiles before stepping into a ranked lobby.

Fortunately, players do not need to alt-tab out of games just to tweak switch feel. The Tartarus V2 Pro sports an onboard LED array right on the casing. Through simple button combinations, gamers can adjust actuation travel and Rapid Trigger sensitivity on the fly, checking the LED light pattern to confirm changes.

The keypad also supports true 8000 Hz HyperPolling. At 8000 Hz, input latency drops below 0.125 milliseconds. Does an everyday gamer need polling eight times faster than standard gear? Probably not, and running 8000 Hz does draw extra CPU resources on older gaming computers. But for those running high-refresh monitors and cutting-edge hardware, the responsiveness feels lightning-fast.

Should I Buy It?

The Razer Tartarus V2 Pro stands as a triumph of bold, niche engineering, elevating the one-handed keypad from an oddity into an elite competitive weapon. At two hundred dollars, it requires a serious financial leap and demands some serious profile tuning to rebuild long-standing keyboard habits. But by combining Gen-2 analog optical switches, an everlasting TMR thumbstick, and a rotating wrist rest that saves joints from fatigue, Razer has built the most capable gaming command station money can buy. For gamers ready to leave the clutter of traditional typing decks behind, this device rules its category without rival.

Overall Rating 4 out of 5

Pros

The Gen-2 analog optical switches, Rapid Trigger reset down to 0.1 mm, and true 8000 Hz HyperPolling deliver top-tier speed and precision.
The sliding, rotating wrist rest and textured doubleshot PBT keycaps provide long-session comfort and joint relief that traditional keyboards cannot match.
The magnetic TMR thumbstick completely eliminates mechanical wear and stick drift.

Cons

At $199.99, it represents a hefty financial investment for a specialized peripheral.
Configuring 31 mappable controls, actuation travel depths, and macros requires some patience.
Out of the box, the TMR stick functions as a 4-way or 8-way directional input rather than providing true native 360-degree analog stick emulation.

Razer Unveils the Tartarus V2 Pro

5 days ago

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News, Peripherals News

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Tartarus V2 Pro, the next evolution of its Tartarus gaming keypad line. Built to carry forward the accuracy and speed players expect from the Tartarus name, the Tartarus V2 Pro brings Razer’s flagship Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 technology and true 8000 Hz HyperPolling into a dedicated keypad for the first time, alongside a wrist rest designed to move with the player rather than around them.

Equipped with 31 programmable controls, a full-sized anti-drift TMR thumbstick, and a fully-adjustable ergonomic wrist rest, the Tartarus V2 Pro is designed to give competitive MMO and FPS players alike near-infinite customization without sacrificing comfort over long gaming sessions.

“Games have evolved dramatically, and players now expect more control, precision, and flexibility from the hardware they use,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. “Our Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 brings greater precision and a wider actuation range that lets players dial in exactly how they want each key to respond, while the TMR thumbstick delivers smooth analog movement with zero stick drift. The Tartarus V2 Pro is unapologetically maximalist: more inputs, finer controls, and more ways to make it your own.”

Precision at Your Fingertips

At the core of the Tartarus V2 Pro is the Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2, Razer’s flagship switch technology, now built into the Tartarus V2 Pro. It offers a fully adjustable 0.1–4.0mm actuation range and Rapid Trigger sensitivity down to 0.1mm for ultra-fast repeated inputs. Each switch is individually lubricated and seated in a dense foam layer, rated for a 100-million keystroke lifespan and tuned for a clean, satisfying acoustic that keeps players in their flow state.

Command Every Angle

Command over the Tartarus V2 Pro starts with 31 programmable controls, giving players enough mappable inputs to cover an entire ability bar, macro set, or genre-specific loadout from a single gaming keypad. Anchoring them is a full-sized, anti-drift TMR thumbstick drawn from Razer’s award-winning controllers, letting players smoothly navigate radial menus or land precise in-game inputs, backed by three dedicated buttons to fit any playstyle.

No two hands rest on a keypad the same way, so the Tartarus V2 Pro’s wrist rest is built to match the player, not the other way around. It slides out and rotates left and right, letting each player find their own natural angle rather than settling for a single fixed position. The result is a support surface that adapts to the hand resting on it, keeping wrists aligned and fatigue-free through long sessions instead of asking players to adjust their grip to fit the hardware.

Built to Keep Up

The Tartarus V2 Pro carries up to 8000 Hz HyperPolling, a polling rate eight times faster than the industry standard, backed by Razer’s Advanced Input Control suite, including Razer™ Snap Tap, Razer™ Snap Flex and Dynamic Keystroke, for faster, more precise execution under pressure. Players can configure up to 24 keymaps across 3 onboard profiles through Razer Synapse for different games and genres, and make on-the-fly actuation or Rapid Trigger adjustments directly on the device via an onboard LED array, with no software required. Textured doubleshot PBT keycaps round out the build for lasting durability and feel.

Together, these features define the Tartarus V2 Pro gaming keypad experience:

Precision at Your Fingertips: Razer Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 with Rapid Trigger and 0.1–4.0mm adjustable actuation.

Command Every Angle: 31 programmable controls, a full-sized anti-drift TMR thumbstick with three dedicated buttons, and a fully-adjustable ergonomic wrist rest that slides and rotates to match the player’s natural hand position.

Built to Keep Up: True 8000 Hz HyperPolling, Razer’s Advanced Input Control suite, and up to 24 configurable keymaps across 3 onboard profiles via Razer Synapse.

With the Tartarus V2 Pro, Razer sets a new benchmark for what a gaming keypad can be, uniting analog optical precision, adaptable control, and ergonomic comfort in a single command center for MMOs, FPS, and beyond. It marks the next step in the evolution of the Tartarus line, and a platform Razer will keep pushing as competitive play demands more from every input.

A fully loaded retrospective slate comprised of a 50th Anniversary screening of J.D.’S REVENGE on 35mm and a 35th anniversary screening of THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, both part of this year’s Culture Shock section. Fear in Focus: Cyber Horror takes audiences from an early entry in the subgenre GHOST IN THE MACHINE on 35mm directed by Rachel Talalay, to 2013 shocker THE DEN and up to modern day with Jane Schoenbrun’s breakout film WE’RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD’S FAIR.

Two more very special screenings complete the retros: TRICK ‘R TREAT on 35mm preceded by the original Sam short film SEASON’S GREETINGS restored in 4K and followed by a conversation with director Michael Dougherty; and the monumental silent-era tragedy THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC featuring an original live score from The Flushing Remonstrance.

This year’s Closing Night feature is the drug fueled action horror KICK ON from director Nick Kozakis. Capping off the festival in true seasonal fashion is the Closing Night Halloween Party presented by ALTER.

Fanatec Announces the ClubSport F1 Racing System

6 days ago

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News, Peripherals News

Fanatec today announced the ClubSport F1® Racing System, a new officially licensed Formula 1® direct drive wheel designed for PlayStation®5 consoles, PlayStation®4 consoles, and PC*. The product will make its public debut at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where attendees will have the opportunity to try it ahead of its planned release.

The new ClubSport F1® Racing System succeeds the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1®, extensively used by professional sim racers for training. The new system retains the ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base and introduces the exclusive ClubSport F1® V3 Steering Wheel.

The ClubSport DD+ contains a high-performance direct drive motor, delivering up to 18 Nm of holding torque for realistic force feedback, combined with FullForce technology that adds immersive, telemetry-based effects. It is compatible with the full range of Fanatec pedals, shifters, and accessories, providing a premium foundation for competitive and realistic sim racing.

Inspired by Formula 1®

The new steering wheel is based on the ClubSport Formula V3, with an exclusive Formula 1® inspired color scheme, and forged carbon finish. Refined through years of competitive sim racing, the wheel is wider than its predecessor, providing a more natural driving position and improved comfort. Alongside the 15 RGB LEDs and 2.7” white OLED display, the ClubSport F1® V3 wheel features two 7-way FunkySwitches, rotary dials, and 12-way switches, all refined to improve tactility and precision in the heat of racing.

The ClubSport F1® Racing System also comes preinstalled with an exclusive version of the Podium Advanced Paddle Module. Its upper and middle paddles feature the same forged carbon fiber finish as the wheel, complemented by anodized black aluminum on the lower analog paddles.

“The ClubSport Racing Wheel F1® has been an important product for Fanatec, particularly through its use at the highest level of competitive sim racing”, said Tobias Stelzer, VP & General Manager at Fanatec. “With the ClubSport F1® Racing System, we’re bringing further refinements to the wheel, while retaining the direct drive performance that drivers already know from the ClubSport DD+. We’re looking forward to putting it in people’s hands for the first time at Tokyo Game Show.”

Availability

The ClubSport F1® Racing System is currently undergoing final review by Sony Interactive Entertainment. This announcement has been approved by SIE, with production planned to begin following final approval. Additional information on pricing and availability will be announced closer to launch.
