I was fortunate that Razer provided me with a set of this State of Art Gaming Mouse, the Razer Abyssus, last week. The actual launch was actually on the 10th November 2009. And it will only be sold in Singapore from end December at a MSRP of SG$79.00. I will be reviewing it later in another blog post. In the meantime, read the Press Release after the break.
Razer Abyssus Gives Gamers the Competitive Edge by Focusing on the Fundamentals
Carlsbad, Calif. – Nov. 10, 2009 – 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 3500dpi 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.”
About the Razer Abyssus
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 3500dpi; and one polling rate switch allowing instant adjustment from a standard 125hz to 1000hz Ultrapolling™.
