Razer Abyssus

One of the best gaming mice you can get around $30 (at MSY Technology, orig. $30 but on special for – I am not a Razer fan since a few years ago after they obtained their immense popularity amongst gamers, they actually started using cheaper methods to produce their stuff, especially when they converted from Cherry MX to crappy Kaihls. But I really enjoy this mouse. Used it for over a year. Really simple mouse for gaming, left/right click, scroll, scroll wheel click and 2 buttons at the bottom of the mouse for report rate (125 or 1000Hz) and DPI (450/ 1800/ 3500). Has a fairly bright blue light for the Razer logo, looks pretty dank. Has a fairly long chord but only rubberised. The mouse is really light in comparison to other mice, which is good for speed. The quality small rubber feet assist in the speed, but replacements cannot be bought.

The mouse takes some time to get used to because it is both small and low, which means that you either use claw grip or just grip it with the top half of your hand, which I find is much better for gaming. The DPI switch is sort of awkward since the settings differ greatly, so you will basically never have to switch to 450 DPI. I use 1800 for daily use, and 3500 for gaming. I cannot be called a hardcore gamer, but I do play quite a few games involving FPSs and League. Once you get used to it, the speed "feel" still remains but you achieve quite some control without sacrificing speed.

The sensor of this mouse is extremely good for a cheap price, which is the main pro about this mouse. The mouse is so light, that sometimes the chord can disturb the "feel", potentially disturbing gameplay. the top half has a matte, rubberised finish, not overly grippy, easy to get dirty but better than plastic smooth finishes. Can easily clean with just water or methylated spirits. The left/ right click of this mouse is pretty rigid, especially considering the fact that the mouse is flat and if/ or gripping it with the top half of your hand.

If you tend to bash up your stuff (not that I do at all), then this mouse would probably still last quite a while.

Software: is really old and looks sort of bad/ scrubby, can be downloaded from the Razer website and easy to set up. Can adjust DPI, acceleration, scroll wheel speed, double click speed, can assign a number of different actions for each button on the mouse excluding the DPI and report rate ones on the bottom. Can also adjust X and Y axis master sensitivities, also "master windows control" which is similar to sensitivity. There is "On the fly sensitivity" that you can assign to the scroll wheel click - you can press the scroll wheel down and scroll at the same time do adjust sensitivity, the adjustment can be shown on screen.

Pros: simply good and really speedy for gaming, fantastic value, good button switches and good sensor. Looks dank, easy to clean.

Cons: is uncomfortable for use over 5 hours (not really ergonomic especially for medium to big hands), does not have side buttons (no additional features).

Razer Abyssus a very nice mouse – I have been using it for three years. I play startcraft II a lot and the mouse has never been my burden. In fact, the movement is smooth and click accuracy is very high enough, I can easily select my units and make efficient command by this mouse. Plus the blue light is fancy. Very sensitive, high dpi, accurate, click sounds nice. Nicely built size is a bit too big

Razer Abyssus – I've been looking for a nice looking affordable gaming mouse for a while and everything I came a across was easily over 50 bucks. that was until I found this mouse which I bought for 38 dollars, its a beautiful mouse that has a nice smooth feel to it. its been built with a anti-fingerprint type plastic and a blue light also illuminates from the Razer logo on the back of the mouse. the light doesn't change colors. the different mouse modes are easily accessible from under the mouse. overall an excellent gaming mouse for the price. Inexpensive, smooth feel, looks good Wired mouse, unchangable backlight
