Razer Abyssus 2014 (RZ01-01190100-R3G1)

Grey mouse

The most affordable option, from which the countdown of gaming mice from first-tier manufacturers begins, is the Razer Abyssus 2014. Outwardly, Abyssus looks simple, one might even say ascetic: no additional buttons, no rubberized side inserts, not even a fabric braided wire. And if not for the recognizable Razer acid green logo, it could be confused with an ordinary office model.

Power under the hood

But if you dig deeper, everything becomes clear: “under the hood” Abyssus hides an Avago ADNS-3888 optical sensor with a resolution of 3500 CPI (office mice have less than 1000 CPI). And under the left and right buttons are Omron microswitches that can withstand at least 5 million clicks (office mice often have an erroneous “double” click over time).

Spare parts available

The four legs of the Abyssus are wide and made of Teflon. But even if they wear off (for example, if you use a hard plastic or aluminium pad), then replacement pads for Razer mice can be found on the market without any problems. As a result, due to the low cost and low cost of subsequent maintenance, Abyssus is perfect for the role of the first gaming mouse.
