Razer Abyssus Optical Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2009-12-27
so today we're going to be having a quick look at the razor abysus mouse so this is a high precision optical gaming mouse and razer does a great job of their packaging so we can pretty much tell you everything about this product just based on what they've put on the outside so first of all you've got a handy little valve for a window in to have a look at the mouse itself although they even tell you how to pronounce it so abyss Oz is abysus whatever okay it's a noun derived from the something a venomous pit viper subsidies found only in the United States blah blah blah 3500 DPI 3.5 G's of acceleration awesome till they've added a really good sensor to even their value line of gaming mice which is really cool because it means that we're starting to see actually not just from razer but a lot of really high performance value gaming mice so here you can see it's reiterated we've got the 3500 DPI razor precision 3.5 g infrared sensor three buttons tuned for ultra responsive feedback so that means you've got a left click or right click and a middle click and then you've got Hardware toggles for dpi and polling rates that's always really nice to have those are on the bottom of the mouse though so on the higher end mice you'll tend to find those buttons on the top ok English digital ultra wide data path on the fly sensitivity adjustment and the dexterous design so they have released a couple mice lately that don't have completely ambidextrous designs but this one is back to their roots a little bit so you can use it with either your right or your left hand it has a seven foot lightweight non tangle cord that did it okay you know what let's just get this thing open and we will go from there so I actually have ah my keys on me and I'm going to use that to open red box here and see normally I actually started opening the box before I stopped talking about the product so that I'll have something to talk about while I'm opening the box but today I didn't really do that so yeah I fail anyway let's have a look at the accessories that are included with the abysus first okay we have a like a black package here clip to the back razor just such a great job of packaging actually a great example would be these like cosa mirror unboxing product showcase that I did you can just see what a phenomenal job they do the packaging some of their stuff so for gamers by gamers Razer zone comm you find our little pack here that has all of our necessary stuff inside so on the top you have a certificate of authenticity this is a real Razer product certified by Razer guy himself next you have a Quick Start Guide which basically shows you how to plug a USB port in and it also tells you where all the buttons are on the mouse great Thank You Razer all right then you have a master guide so that I don't know how they managed to make such a fit guide on a mouse but I'm going to guess okay I'm going to go ahead and guess that it's just in a bunch of different languages and pretty much tells us what all the buttons are and how to plug it into your computer yes thank you oh no they give you a pup this is kind of nice it's so rare these days to see a hardware vendor give you an actual instruction guide on how to use the software so often they just kind of throw you in and let you sink or swim that's great okay then they have a Razer product catalog so you bought this one now by other Razer products to match not a bad strategy overall so they show you a bunch of really cool stairs the light go Samir I've unboxed that one I've unboxed the Mako speakers which are awesome by the way okay then we've got some Razer stickers and then we have the abysus so this is a little bit of a card on this Mouse and why it's so great it seems like it seems kind of weird to sell a product on someone who just bought it but maybe that's part of the unboxing experience as you're unboxing this product hey you should feel good about buying this because it's back to the basics quality reliability performance no-nonsense straightforward gaming grade fundamentals that is what they are saying about the abysus this is a no-nonsense product meant for just performance no frills no gimmicks just gaming alright so let's get this up so this is one of the first Razer products that I've seen without a braided cord but it is quite a flexible cord so you're not going to find it getting stiff when you're actually trying to move the mouse back and forth and you can see even if you're moving front to back front to back you can bend it quite easily there's not a lot of resistance there so here's a look at the top of the mouse itself now I have quite small hands I'm gonna get the cameraman to have a quick zoom in here so you can see kind of from the side what it will look like with my hand on it so there you go it's a bit of a smaller Mouse but that's typical of a razor this is more of a claw tight grip Mouse rather than a palming Mouse because it's so short alright so here are your hyper response buttons on the top and razor buttons it's kind of a love or hate sort of thing but they usually have a very responsive trigger on them they're not a very heavy click and you can see that that trend is continued here with the abysus the scroll wheel feels quite nice and has a rubberized grip on the top as does the entire top of the mouse okay and then let's go around to the bottom here so here are our hardware switches for 125 Hertz or 1000 Hertz so it depends how many times you want the mouse communicating with your computer per second and then you can also adjust your dpi anywhere from 450 to 1,800 to 3500 depending on whether you are a low or high sensitivity gamer they've also included a couple of slippy pads on the bottom they've got three on some of the higher and mouse mice you'll find larger pads but I mean you can only ask for so much out of a value product and it is enough for it to perform so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Razer abysus
