Razer Abyssus Gaming Mouse Review

Raze recently brought forth an interesting new simple design based around an infrared sensor. The mouse is somewhat like the old DeathAdder in terms of performance but has a cheaper, simpler design. The Abyssus mouse (yes named after another reptile that eats mice) features only three buttons if you count scroll wheel press as a real button. This mouse features two very interesting buttons on the back that allow you to alter polling rate and DPI. What really gets us turned on about this mouse is the price, at a fair $49 this mouse is sure to stir things up on the budget gaming mice market.

Since the Abyssus has the same optical infrared sensor as the DeathAdder 3G you get a mouse capable of 3500 DPI at a polling rate of 1000 Hz. What is important about this sensor is that it has very limited prediction and works well on just about any gaming grade mouse mat out there... techPowerUp!
