Razer's Ambidextrous Ouroboros Now Available for Purchase
Are you a righty or a lefty? It doesn't really matter.
This past summer, Razer unveiled 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. This week, it emerged that the the mouse is now shipping to customers.
We first got wind of the Ouroboros earlier this year but the mouse was only made official in July. Designed with the idea that no two people have the same sized hands and everyone grips a mouse differently, Razer's team 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:

-Jackson The fact that this mouse costs nearly as much, or maybe even as much as a mechanical keyboard is quite unsavory.Reply
At least you can justify the purchase of a mechanical keyboard. -
casualcolors This mouse has an inherent design flaw. It has skates on the front and the sides, but no rear skate, causing the mouse to tilt back and drag on the pad. This is an remarkably flawed design.Reply -

I disagree. The side skates go all the way to the back of the mouse. It also has interchangeable parts. It's neat but more than I want to spend on a mouse. Logitech G5 for life... haha

I'm not assuming that this is a flaw. This has already been commented on by testers. It is a noted design flaw. -
allan_karman What is the wireless technology? The term is hyper-linked to another page lacking explanation.Reply -
lpedraja2002 Jesus, Razer has gone mad with their prices lately. I'm still using my Diamondback 3G but was wondering what a left ergonomic mouse would cost these days, I sure hope they don't start eliminating their other cheaper alternatives or I'll have to change brand in the future.Reply
