Razer Announces New Abyssus Gaming Mouse [3500DPI, Very Simple Design; Abyssus to Sell for $49.99]

Razer is a well known brand between gamers and not only. The company has produced various mice and keyboards over the years and gamers all over the world have cherished them while winning battle after battle with the help and especially the precision of such gaming accessories.

So whenever I spot a new Razer gaming mouse I can’t simply ignore it since I am always looking at a tool that could serve my gaming habits very well. Today we’re looking at a new mouse, the Abyssus that has been just launched by Razer.

Besides having a hard to spell name, the Abyssus is definitely going to impress you both pleasantly and unpleasantly with some of its features. So let’s start with the bad news first since everything should be already clear from the picture above. The Abyssus lacks a complicated design and it has no extra buttons that could be customized in games. It presents a very minimalistic concept and it comes with the regular two buttons, left and right, with the scroll wheel in the middle. Disappointing you say? I tend to agree with that. When I’m playing games I’d like to have some extra buttons on the mouse which can trigger some very specific actions. So why decide to lose those buttons completely?

Here are some of the other features which represent the good news about the Abyssus:

• 3500dpi Razer Precision™ 3.5G infrared sensor
• 1000Hz Ultrapolling™ / 1ms response time
• Mechanical dpi/polling rate switches
• On-The-Fly Sensitivity™ adjustment
• Always-On™ mode
• Ultra-large non-slip buttons
• 16-bit ultra-wide data path
• 60-120 inches per second and 15g of acceleration
• Three independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons
• Ambidextrous design
• Scroll wheel with 24 individual click positions
• Zero-acoustic Ultraslick™ Teflon feet
• Seven-foot, lightweight, non-tangle cord
• Approx. size in mm 115(L) x 63(W) x 40(H)

You’d think that the mouse has a cheaper price since it lacks extra buttons but you’d be wrong. At $49.99 the Abyssus is a little too expensive for my taste. But if you love it and want to have it then you can order it online right now or wait until late December to get it in stores.
