Performance in both wired and wireless mode is top notch. There's some adjustments that can make the mouse feel uncomfortable. It's also a little hard to sit in the stand at...

Razer's Ouroboros gaming mouse has been somewhat elusive – being listed on their site for quite a while without actually being available for purchase. It touts extreme form factor customization, wired or wireless play, and two new gaming “clutch...

A lot of mice these days come with multiple parts to help adjust the ergonomics of your device. More often than not, it's a gimmick, leading to badly-shaped mice that are fiddly and uncomfortable; and, if that mouse is bad no matter what, it really is a...

When you're trying to sell a gaming mouse for more than £100, it has to be something very special. Luckily for us, Razer is experienced in the ultra high end of the market, with its Mamba wireless mouse also retailing for north of a ton. It's not the...

So let's get to the point, the Razer Ouroboros has great build quality. It may not be perfect for some users but its still looks and feels fantastic after a certain time of use. The adjustability and customization options are there but the side buttons...

With testing out of the way, I think the best way to describe the Razer Ouroboros is that it's a Jack of all trades, but a mater of none. The Ouroboros is certainly a hit in some areas, but it does come with a significant number of misses as well. I'm...

I've been playing PC games with Razer's Ouroboros wired/wireless ambidextrous gaming mouse for a bit now, trying out everything from MMOs to FPS to casual games. This is one really nice mouse, but it had better be for its asking price of $149.99.Razer...
