Exclusive Razer Abyssus Review

Introduction

Razer in the past couple of years has been delivering some amazing gaming devices, which not only look awesome but also perform well. There was a time when I had lost track of the Razer products, there were so many in such a short time. One of their latest release is the Razer Abyssus.

The Abyssus comes with the 3.5G 1800dpi Infrared sensor which is also found on the Razer Deathadder. The Abyssus weighs around 1/3rd the deathadder, hence it results in faster reactions, mainly in FPS games. The navigation buttons will be missed surely, but I am sure it must have been hard to implement as the Abyssus is an ambidextrous mouse.

As it is to compete the Mx518 head on, I became really interested in writing about the mouse as Mx518 was my first gaming mouse which I had bought with my first salary. I was told that Abyssus is targeted towards the new gamers, So I will be reviewing the mouse from a beginner's point of view, how they would adapt to it and will it satisfy their new hunger for frags.

Let us look on to the official specifications, taken directly from razerzone.com
