Razer Details Its Razer Ouroboros Gaming Mouse
Razer's got a new toy and it's both righty and lefty friendly!
Razer has announced the release of the Razer Ouroboros, a gaming mouse with fully-customizable ergonomics to suit a range of hand sizes and grips whether you're left- or right-handed.
We first got wind of the Ouroboros a few months back but today Razer made things official with specs and a release date (sort of). The mouse is designed with the idea that no two people have the same sized hands and everyone grips a mouse differently. To that end, Razer's tea of ergonomic scientists and engineers designed a mouse with several adjustable aspects so you can adjust the mouse to match how you personally grip the device.
The Ouroboros boasts two interchangeable side panels for altering the footprint of the mouse to suit claw, palm or hybrid grip styles, and has an adjustable back tilt angle to ensure palm support. It also packs enhanced sensor technology is capable of up to 8200 dpi, and a dedicated, built-in dpi clutch trigger button for precision. The Ouroboros runs on a rechargeable AA battery and Razer claims you'll get a minimum of 12 hours of play on one charge. Check out the full specs below:
- Customizable ergonomics to fit all hand sizes and grip styles
- 8200 dpi 4G Dual Sensor System
- Gaming-grade wireless technology with dock
- Razer Synapse 2.0 enabled
- 11 programmable Hyperesponse buttons
- 1000 Hz Ultrapolling/1 ms response time
- Up to 200 in. per sec./50 g acceleration
- 2.1 m/7 ft. braided fiber cable
- Approximate Size : 116 mm to 136 mm/4.57 in. to 5.35 in. (length) x 71 mm/2.80 in. (width) x 42 mm/1.65 in. (height)
- Approximate Weight: 115 g/0.25 lbs. (without battery) to 135 g/0.29 lbs. (with battery)
- Battery life: Approx. 12 hrs. (continuous gaming)
The Razer Ouroboros will set you back $129.99, or €129.99 if you're in Europe. Sadly, Razer didn't provide UK pricing. The mouse is expected to arrive at the end of the year. Razer didn't provide specifics on that past 'Q4' so keep your eyes peeled from October onwards.

That high of a dpi is purely for bragging rights.
and I just gotta say this to, Razer mouses/mice are sure a tad pricey lately. I got a Guild Wars Death Adder for less than $50 way back and even a regular Death Adder on sale once for less than $30 at a local B&M store. now those were deals and are still some great Razer mouses (mice?).

There's an ergonomic scientists tea? Sounds like my cup of tea.
^See what I did thar?
This mouse did everything right except for the wireless part. I remember my logitec "Universes most technilogically advanced mouse!" which lagged every so often when I needed it to just work like a regular mouse did. 1ms response time maybe, but flawless software hardware interface for a wireless system? Doesn't exist.
I remember my Razor Lycosa keyboard fiasco. 1 month of use, and that thing was on its last legs. 70 dollars spent on a POS. Microsoft sidewinder x4 is 4 times the keyboard for 30 dollars. 1 year and it still works flawlessly.
Also, did this site just eat my comment? I typed it out, clicked submit, logged in, and was returned with no comment showing up. Argh.
model m. 21 years and counting. . .
The Ergonomic Scientist Tea is made special from Mad Catz using some method popular by hipsters.
This does look a lot like the RAT 9 though - which was a great mouse when I had it, but came across bad problems with the mouse itself.
I just wish companies would make a mouse that can take a beating - make it out of aluminum or something instead of this hard plastic they use. For 140$ I would expect the mouse to be made of aluminum. Heck - it would be easily recyclable then.
