After my G13 started acting up I got myself a Razer Tartarus V2 and honestly I'm disappointed to the point I feel like I need to warn people. If you buy Razer, make sure you can return it if you're disappointed.

First the Tartarus V2 has issues with several MMOs where keys will get "stuck" and based on googling this has been an issue with other Razer products for 5+ years. While some may have been fixed Tartarus V2 still has the issue 2 years after release.

Second, the Razer Synapse software pack suffers from gamer marketing bloat and requires you to have a razer account to even allow configuring your device.

The razer account thing is absolutely ridiculous, I agree. What is worse is it keeps trying to update and has broken more than once (I have a keyboard too, and both were set up with different versions of synapse and I don’t want to have to redo my config).

If they go bankrupt or if I lack a net connection, the hardware stops working. Super annoying.

As for the Tartarus keys sticking - was that because it had membrane keys? Or was it software? The orbweaver has mechanical and is the main reason I bought it over the Tartarus.

I think it is software, or at least it can be fixed in software. Which is what makes it so frustrating.

My workaround is to configure the whole thing as a joystick then use JoyToKey to convert it back to keyboard inputs. No stuck keys.
