Updated Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse makes its way to North America retail stores

razer-ouroborosWe 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.

You recall the Ouroboros, right? Nope, not the mythical snake yarn, the latest gaming mouse from Razer that inadvertently broke cover over at the FCC. While it’s been official for around a month, Germany’s annual gaming convention has offered us our first chance to to get to grips with it. Razer has tied itself in a ergonomic knot over the Ouroboros, with most of the mouse’s dimensions happily adjustable to suit practically any gamer hand. We get customizing right after the break.

Razer Ouroboros piles on the gaming pressure

Gamers, take note! There is a new piece of hardware in town, and if you feel that you have not been lethal enough towards your opponents thus far and would like to do something about the situation, then you will not go too wrong with the Razer Ouroboros. On paper, the Razer Ouroboros does seem to carry just about anything and everything which you need to achieve utter gaming domination regardless of the genre, so here we are with the Razer Ouroboros in all of its glory, where you can read further about its specifications and performance capabilities right after the jump.

I must say, however, that for Razer to churn out the Ouroboros as an an ergonomic and ambidextrous mouse should be noted, especially for southpaws like me who have long “suffered” when it comes to hardware choices, as many of the hardware released to date seem to cater more towards the right handed folks, with very few versions of the same peripheral coming in a left-handed model.

Well, let us get to the nitty gritty. The Razer Ouroboros is an elite gaming mouse which is said to be able to “evolve” – thanks to its fully-customizable ergonomics which can be adjusted for any hand size and grip style. After all, your gaming grip on the mouse is a very personal matter, as everyone holds their gaming mouse differently. The Razer Ouroboros was specially designed for precision gaming, boasting of an adjustable palm rest that can move up to 0.9 in. (20 mm), making it ideal for everyone regardless of their hand size.

There are also two interchangeable side panels so that you are able to change the footprint of the mouse to suit claw, palm or hybrid grip styles (which are you?), where it will also come with an adjustable back tilt angle in order for your palm to gain adequate support for gaming comfort and endurance. There is also an enhanced sensor technology which allows you to sweep your mouse at up to 8200 dpi, in addition to a dedicated, built-in dpi clutch trigger button to deliver on-the-fly dpi adjustment. It will cost you $129.99/€129.99 when it hits the global market before the year is over.

Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse gets official: fits both hands, changes shape

Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse goes official fits both hands, changes shape

Launching alongside new iterations of its BlackWidow keyboard, Razer’s latest gaming mouse just went official. We spotted the ambidextrous Razer Ouroboros just a few months ago, courtesy of some federal filings, and now we have the official line on its specs and layout. The symmetrical body means it’ll even suit southpaws, while an adjustable palm rest and two interchangeable sides can contort the mouse into claw, palm or hybrid grip styles. If cables frustrate, the good news is that the Razer Ouroboros works in wireless mode too, while the 8,200 DPI sensor and a built-in clutch trigger button should keep you on the edge of accuracy. Razer reckon its new dual sensor system can detect surfaces ten times faster than its last generation sensors. The mouse is priced at $130, but you’ll have to hold out until Q4 before it arrives in stores.

Meanwhile, Razer’s gaming keyboards have appeared in several new guises — though they may not wow like the Ouroboros. The BlackWidow 2013 adds improved anti-ghosting feature will allow up to 10 simultaneous key presses, with an anti-fingerprint finish coating the whole thing. An Ultimate version adds backlit keys, while the Tournament edition is ten key-less, dropping the number pad to ensure a tinier footprint for gamers on the move. Prices start at $80 for the Tournament version, up to $140 for the Ultimate, with the whole familia BlackWidow set to launch next month.

Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse offers plenty of customization options

Here we are with yet another gaming mouse in the market, and this time around, the Razer Ouroboros will be worth looking into if you happen to be a southpaw. Basically, we are talking about an ambidextrous and ergonomic mouse that is fully customizable for just about everyone. After all, no two people have similarly sized hands, and everyone holds their mouse in a different manner. When looking at form factor preferences for ambidextrous mice, Razer’s team of ergonomic scientists and engineers realized that there is a trio of key factors which will affect the design – and they are the length of the mouse, the back arch and the grip profile.

With this knowledge, the Razer Ouroboros was specially designed for precision gaming, sporting an adjustable palm rest that allows it to move up to 0.9″, making it suitable for just about everyone’s hand sizes. Not only that, the Razer Ouroboros also comes with a couple of interchangeable side panels that allows you to change the footprint of the mouse so that it can suit claw, palm or hybrid grip styles. Not only that, it comes with an adjustable back tilt angle so that there is adequate palm support, in addition to an enhanced sensor technology that is capable of up to 8200 dpi, accompanied by a dedicated, built-in dpi clutch trigger button so that one can always achieve pinpoint precision. The asking price? $129.99 a pop as it rolls out in the fourth quarter of this year. [Press Release]
