Razer Announces Abyssus Gaming Mouse, Focuses On The Fundamentals
Razer, the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision gaming and lifestyle peripherals, today launched the Razer Abyssus gaming mouse. By combining simplicity with a state-of-the-art 3.5G 3500 dpi infrared sensor, the Razer Abyssus stands ready to frag.
"Less is more," said Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff, president, Razer. "We've taken our ambidextrous three-button mouse design and loaded it with our industry-leading technology without the added cost of too many bells and whistles. Our goal with the Razer Abyssus is to give competitive gamers access to gaming grade hardware without breaking the bank."
The Razer Abyssus mouse is designed for gamers that demand reliability and functionality under the fiercest gameplay conditions. The Razer Abyssus is armed with two large non-slip buttons tuned for maximum tactile feedback and features Razer's built-in Hyperesponse technology. Underneath, Razer has placed two easily accessible mechanical switches -- one on-the-fly dpi switch giving the user their choice of 450, 1800, or 3500 dpi; and one polling rate switch allowing instant adjustment from a standard 125 Hz to 1000 Hz Ultrapolling.

quite like this mouse tho looks comfy and less annoying than most mice with 90 buttons i never use
I also dont need 3500dpi to be competetive. just a comfortable mouse with a good polling rate and ofcourse my two side buttons... thanks Logitech
I´ve seen plenty of gaming mices and none of them is perfect, one close to perfection is ROCCAT Kone, but just close, not perfect.
Maybe it would be better if some real gamer designed gaming mouse. :D I´m afraid I won´t live that long to see that happen.
back in the day my mouse never had them once I got a mouse with side buttons and started using them makes things more efficient.
My logitch G9 serves me well. Everything I need/want in a mouse it has. TRUE on the fly dpi settings, custom profile settings, custom button mapping, weight adjustments, and comfortable grip. My only gripe about it is the mouse wheel lock being on the bottom but thats not a real big deal since I dont use it in game. Which might I add they changed with the new g500,
But fanboys will buy it anyway.
