What escalates the cost of the Razer Abyssus is the RGB lighting. If you can do without it, the Logitech G Pro is your better option. And if inexpensive RGB is dear to your heart, the Corsair Sabre RGB is another unit to look at. It is rated for up to 10,000dpi sensitivity and bears the same 16.8 million color palette. The one caveat is that the Sabre isn't an ambidextrous design; its wide grip reminds me of the original Xbox "Duke" controller, good for gamers with large hands but clunky for others. Powered by Razer Chroma and Razer Synapse 3.0 allows you to costomize infinitely l. It's a RGB gaming Mouse and have 16.8 million colors to choose from.

That said, you can assign every button on the Abyssus Essential to an action of your choosing: a mouse function, an application launcher, or a macro (a combination of recorded keyboard and mouse functions). This mouse in particular also supports a feature called Mouse Use, which optimizes it for either left- or right-handed players, depending on their dominant hand. In my Razer Basilisk review, I noted that Razer's Synapse 3 software needs some work in one key area. Granted, it's still in beta at the moment of this review, and it's bound to see improvements upon its official release, expected in June. But, as it stands at this writing, Synapse 3 remains incompatible with many other Razer products. If, say, you want to use the Abyssus Essential with an older Razer keyboard, you'll need to install a previous version of Synapse, too. Meanwhile, my index and middle fingers were comfortable enough resting atop the right and left mouse buttons. Better yet, given the symmetrical shape, the Abyssus Essential accommodates the often-neglected base of lefty gamers. The standout feature of the Abyssus V2 are what Razer calls “in-mould rubber side grips.” The textured rubber surface on either side of the mouse provides the best grip I've ever experienced on a budget gaming mouse. In addition to providing a stellar, grippy surface, the side grips are also designed so that there’s a slight indentation that makes for a natural landing spot for your thumb on one side and your fingers on the other. Most ambidextrous mouse are fairly shapeless, but not so with Abyssus V2. It provides comfortable ergonomics with its shape and surface materials. The first thing you’ll notice about the Razer Abyssus Essential gaming mouse is how normal it looks. Razer is famed for its series of bright, positively extravagant products that will immediately catch the attention of gamers. By comparison, the Abyssus is the shy kid too scared to ask for a dance at the school disco.While its own display of RGB is comparatively underwhelming compared to Razer’s other products, it still find a comfortable place in the Chroma ecosystem. The underbelly is gorgeous, boasting a lovely variety of RGB colour profiles Why buy the Razer Abyssus Essential? On the Lighting tab, you can set the mouse’s lighting and do so individually for the scroll wheel and the logo. Most budget mice have only a single zone of lighting. Most budget mice feature RGB lighting and a rainbow of color choices, but the Abyssus V2 gives you a limited selection of only three colors: green, teal, and royal blue. This is pretty limited, and I'd much rather have the full color spectrum at my disposal than just three colors, two of which are shades of blue.

The Abyssus Essential, therefore, serves a niche of gamers who prefer fewer buttons but must have ostentatious lighting. You get no extra trappings beyond the personalization you can pull off in Razer's Synapse 3 software, such as button-function assignments, performance adjustments, and of course, tweaks to the RGB effects. Software That's in FluxMeasuring 1.46 by 2.48 by 4.51 inches (HWD) and weighing 2.72 ounces, the Abyssus Essential is compact and light. It's a suitable size for smaller hands, and the straight lines that define the right and left sides keep your index and middle fingers flat on the mouse, rather than arching them over a curve.
