We have seen the Razer Ouroboros in the past, but as with any hardware, even though it is considered to be the “best” there is in the market, having an updated version would make plenty of sense, as the hardware will still need to keep up with the times. I guess you can say this about the Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse, which is now available for purchase in North America. Just what kind of goodies does the menacing looking Razer Ouroboros come with right out of the box? We are looking at a highly customizable gaming mouse, sporting fully customizable ergonomics so that you can configure it to fit your hand comfortably, regardless of your hand shape, size or grip-style.

Apart from that, the mouse can also be custom configured using the adjustable arched palm rest according to the angle that you are most comfortable with. Looking more like something from the distant future, the Razer Ouroboros will also boast of a retractable back panel which can be set to any one of three positions, in addition to a quartet of interchangeable side panels, now how about that for a truly unique gaming mouse?

The Razer Ouroboros will make use of a cutting-edge 8200 dpi 4G laser sensor that is capable of accurately calibrating the mouse regardless of the surface, where it will also be able to provide improved tracking responsiveness as well as enabling users to customize lift-off tracking, creating precision control. Not only that, it comes with wireless capabilities that will feature 1000 Hz Ultrapolling between mouse and computer, where it makes sure that a user’s actuations will be instantly translated in a game so that you need not blame unresponsive hardware for your gaming failure, ever again. When working in its wireless mode, the Razer Ouroboros will run on a single rechargeable AA battery that is said to be able to last for at least a dozen hours of non-stop gaming action before requiring a recharge. The asking price for the Razer Ouroboros? $149.99 a pop.

When it comes to gamers, you know for sure that they place an extremely high level of importance on the kind of hardware which grace their gaming rigs. Most of the time, nothing but the very best will do – at least according to their income at that point in time, and most gamers do tend to be loyal to a certain brand of hardware, rarely making a departure for reasons best known to them. Perhaps this is a case where familiarity does not breed contempt, no? Having said that, Razer has been a well known name in the world of gaming accessories and peripherals for a fair number of years already, and they continue to fly their flag high with the latest version of the Razer Goliathus. It is somewhat like the Incredible Hulk, being meaner and greener, although the Hulk is far from slick.

The latest update of the iconic soft mouse mat family now sports brand new artwork thanks to a redesign. You will find that the new gaming surface will further distinguish itself from other gaming mouse mats through the maintenance of its speed-enhancing and control-precise features, ensuring that gamers will be able to enjoy maximum performance at all times so that users can no longer blame the mouse pad for being the cause of their defeat in future matches. Apart from that, this new version boasts of a dense, anti-fraying, long-lasting stitched frame that ensures the surface will remain sharp consistently.

This “Control Edition” of the Goliathus will boast of a heavy weave with micro-textures on the surface, delivering just the right amount of friction where your gaming mouse’s movements are concerned, and FPS fans would relish at the thought of pixel-precise targeting. There is also an anti-slip rubber base to make sure during those intense gaming sessions, it remains well in place. You can choose from small, medium, large and extended sizes for $14.99, $19.99, $24.99 and $34.99, respectively.

Gaming laptops tend to tread on thin ice, as they are normally large and bulky in order to accommodate the parts within which require more space than a “normal” working-class laptop. And as physics would dictate, the larger an object is, generally speaking, it would be heavier. Not only that, the performance that you are able to coax out of a gaming laptop would still fall short of your home’s souped up gaming rig most of the time. Well, MSI intends to turn things upside down with the introduction of the MSI GS70 gaming laptop.

For starters, the MSI GS70 gaming laptop is a definitely looker, coming in such a svelte body that you might mistake it for an Ultrabook of sorts. After all, we are talking about an ultra-thin and light brush aluminum chassis that measures less than an inch thin, tipping the scales at a respectable 5.7 lbs, clearly making this the thinnest and lightest 17” gaming laptop in the world. I guess MSI has succeeded in achieving the balance between portability and power on the go.

Just what kind of parts will you be able to find underneath the hood? For starters, the MSI GS70 would come with the latest 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor running proceedings from within, and it is accompanied by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M. You will also find a Killer DoubleShot NIC, a SteelSeries full color backlit keyboard with Anti-Ghosting keys, a 17” Full HD anti-reflective display at 1,920 × 1,080 resolution, a 2.1 speaker system with integrated sub-woofer featuring Sound Blaster Cinema, 16GB RAM, a quartet of USB 3.0 ports, a trio of audio jacks, and a 720p HD webcam.

Not only that, the MSI GS70 prides itself in being the first dual fan laptop with a special thermal solution design which will pull heat from the top side of the laptop, dissipating it instead at a 45 degree upward angle to deliver superior performance and a cool gaming experience even if you have cranked all the detail levels in the game to the maximum to work the MSI GS70. The asking price would start from $1,799.99, with two configurations to choose from.
