Razer's ambidextrous Ouroboros mouse now shipping, ready to placate lefthanded gamers

Had your eye on Razer’s symmetrical gaming mouse? Peek at your email — the firm’s online storefront is quietly tipping customers that the Ouroboros is now shipping. Much like that other transforming rodent, the Ouroboros can change its shape by extending its palm rest or swapping out select components to favor specific grip styles. If your favored grip happens to be southpaw, don’t sweat it — this tail-chewing snake is designed to fit both of your mitts comfortably. The price of a left-handed fit isn’t cheap, however, but the mouse’s $130 asking price includes 11 programmable buttons, a dual sensor system topping out at 8,200 DPI and a charging dock.

Razer Ouroboros: The Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

I can appreciate a really good gaming mouse, because most of the time these kinds of devices have no perceivable lag and usually have quite a few programmable buttons. However, most gaming mice are built in dedicated versions for either right- or left-handed users. The Razer Ouroboros seeks to please lefties and righties everywhere.

The Razer Ouroboros is modeled on their recently released Taipan. The glowing green Ouroboros has three adjustable parts, including interchangeable side panels, tiltable back arch, and an adjustable length. Since no two hands are the same, you’ll be able to tweak the Ouroboros to fit right into your hand, whether you use your right or left hand for gaming.

The mouse comes with an 8200 DPI 4G tracking system, with laser and optical sensors. This means it will work on any surface. It’s got a 1 millisecond wireless response time, dedicated DPI clutch trigger and a programmable button layouts.
