Razer Abyssus Essential

The Razer Abyssus Essential fills a very specific niche: It's a gaming mouse with basic features, RGB lighting, and a design that works well for both lefties and righties.

Ambidextrous design. Eye-catching underglow. Oversize glide pads.

Coating is prone to dings. Single-zone lighting. Lacks a braided USB cable. Low max DPI for the price.

Bottom Line: The Razer Abyssus Essential fills a very specific niche: It's a gaming mouse with basic features, RGB lighting, and a design that works well for both lefties and righties.

Razer Abyssus Mirror

The Razer Abyssus Mirror claims to get back to the basics, but goes back a bit too far while costing more than its competitors.

Speedy mouse with switchable DPI and polling rate. Slick design with illuminated logo. Large buttons support full index and middle finger navigation.

Steep price for fewer features than its competitors. Glossy finish is prone to smudges.

Quick Review: Razer Abyssus Mirror Gaming Mouse

Razer, mostly known for gaming mice with tons of buttons and options, takes a more simplified approach with the Razer Abyssus Mirror.

The choice basically comes down to what you want in a mouse. If you want a mouse that gives you good performance with minimal effort and a simple yet functional design, the Abyssus Mirror is definitely a mouse to look at. It's also a good choice if...

The Razer Abyssus Mirror Special Edition Review

While not every product Razer produces is top notch, one thing is certain, their team does know what it's doing when it comes to gaming mice. However, today we need to put that thought aside and take a look at one of Razer's freshest products, the......

Smooth mousing surface transition ; Beautifully accurate ; Grass roots design ; Not too expensive

No side buttons ; A bit small for some

It’s fast, it’s accurate and it looks fantastic. If you want more from your mouse there’s plenty of others out there to choose from, but few that do the basics as well as the Abyssus Mirrored.

Razer Abyssus High Precision Optical Gaming Mouse Review

Buttons, buttons, buttons everywhere! Mice with 18 buttons! Seriously, I'm not kidding. Remember the good old days where you had just 2? Or how about when you had just 2 and the scroll wheel? Ah those were the days. Now you have forward buttons,...

Light ; Claw style (Ambidextrous) ; LED on tail is nice (especially for Blue LED setups) ; Very smooth fluid movements ; Works great on all surfaces ; Simple design ; On the Fly" adjustments (set it and forget it)

None

Overall, I was really impressed with the Abyssus. Honestly, it was an upgrade from my previous mice. One was the Intellimouse and the other an old Fatality gaming mouse (bought on Best Buy gift cards, so don't shame me). One of the biggest hassles I...

Razer Abyssus Gaming Mouse

Over the past few weeks we have tested new ambidextrous gaming mice from ROCCAT and SteelSeries. So it's not surprising that Razer have followed the trend and produced a new ambidextrous gaming mouse to add to their range.

The Razer Abyssus Reviewed

Gaming mice have always been a confusing decision for gamers to make. Some mice give you 200 million buttons to use, but you end up using some or none at all. What if you wanted a high performance gaming mouse with all the bells and whistles, but...

Final Verdict The Razer Abyssus is a brilliant gaming mouse with great customization options, fantastic specs and performance as well. As mentioned earlier, a user with big hands might have an issue with its size and the driver software not being...

Razer Abyssus

Good gaming performance.

Limited customisation. On-the-fly sensitivity not really useful due to lack of buttons. DPI and polling switches are a pain to access. Only 16 events allowed in macros.

It may be a simple mouse, but if you can't afford the higher-end gaming mice, the Abyssus is a plucky little contender.

Razer Abyssus review

The Razer Abyssus doesn't look too much like a gaming mouse. Yes, it's sleek and has a cool blue logo on its body that lights up but in terms of size and weight, its closer to regular mice. While we're used to lightweight regular mice, it's quite...

The Razer Abyssus is a basic-but-powerful gaming mouse with a penchant for performance.

Razer Abyssus Essential (2018) Mouse Review

While Razer has diversified its product stack significantly over the last few years, peripherals has It's Razer's new entry-level mouse, but can it justify the £50 asking price?

Chroma lighting works well.

Can get slippery.

If you really want a mouse that can integrate with your other Chroma-enabled peripherals, the Abyssus Essential isn’t necessarily bad. However, there are plenty of cheaper mice on the market – with a full complement of buttons – that also have better...
