Abyssus Mirror Review
The Razer Abyssus Mirror is a more simplified version of all the other Razer gaming mice, with the most basics of basic, straight-forward and simple. Originated from the Abyssus, the newer Abyssus Mirror improves in term of responsiveness thanks to it superior infrared sensor capable of sensing up-to 3500 DPI with polling rate of up-to 1000Hz.
As stated, it is ambidextrous, meaning that left-handed gamers can join in the fun. The Abyssus Mirror excels in terms of comfort with its carefully placed ridges that provide adequate spots where fingertips may rest upon and tightly grip the mouse. Both palm grip and fingertip grips feel natural with this mouse. The high gloss mirror finish is an insane fingerprint magnet, but its smoothness provides a great feeling when holding the mouse and the surface is not slippery.
Buttons are large and are easy to depress without fatiguing the hand.Tactile feedback and button clicking noise are just right with the exception of the scroll wheel when spun upwards, which will give off a loud clunking sound.
However, on the down side, Razer Abyssus Mirror include the more or less strategically placed DPI and polling rate switches, the absence of profiles, the clunky sounding scroll wheel and only 3 buttons. The lack of extra buttons will disappoint some. Indeed, extra buttons can be convenient when assigned particular macros for both gaming or normal usage.
Sporting an improved design and ergonomics but still lack many of the features seen on many of the other Razer gaming mice, the Razer Abyssus Mirror should had offer more.
First Hour Hand-on Review
7th minute: Glossy finish is attractive...
7.5th minute: ...but attracts smudges
16th minute: The large buttons gives a good combination of comfort and tactile response
28th minute: Lacking in terms of games profile in its software
37th minute: Starting to miss the good-ole-side buttons
45h minute: With no side buttons, it proves costly when testing the mouse with WoW, no macro :(
